Finally, after 10+ years, Kotobukiya was going to release a PVC figure of Leon Magnus from Tales of Destiny.
LEON MAGNUS!!!
It was going to be like the P3 figures they released recently, same size and everything.
But, as I found out from Carra, Koto is suspending the release of the figure which means it probably will never see the light of day even though I already preordered it last month!
Why? Most likely because of the Akihabara stabbings incident. Too lazy to find a link, but long story short, some crazy ass dude stabbed some people, and they found an old drawing of--guess who--LEON MAGNUS among his stuff. So now Japan is like "OMFG OTAKU ARE CRAZY STABBIN YOU" and Leon will forever be associated with crazy ass otaku killers (even though it actually has VERY LITTLE to do with him being an otaku or not, just using it as an excuse to trash them basically). So they're pulling the figure because of the drawing (which was really just a copy of an official artwork and not all that good) and although it just says "suspended" it probably is in the trash bin.
On a scale of 1 to 10 how stupid is this? About a 14
JENNIFER ANGRY! JENNIFER WANTS PLASTIC LEON!
OR MAKE A JUDAS, HE'S LIKE A TRANSFORMER: LEON IN DISGUISE
In other news, yesterday I bought Trauma Center: Under the Knife (I finally found a copy at a used game store) and Apollo Justice, and Edward bought MGS3, and we split the cost of Rogue Galaxy. Which is pretty fun, but slightly ruined by the fact that every time Jaster talks I'm thinking "THAT'S ERIC FROM BOY MEETS WORLD WHAT THE HELL?"
Also, I finished reading Genshiken. It was very good. My favorite character.... was Madarame. He was hilarious, but also I felt really bad for him because of his secret undying love for Saki. Of course, Ohno is a close second. I really didn't like Oguie until near the end when she stopped being such a bitch, but then she was okay :V
Now my volume 4 of Alive came in and volume 5 is due out soon, AND PETSHOP OF HORRORS TOKYO 2 CAME IN AND I READ IT THE SAME DAY YAY :)
