Check out these new little figures coming out. They’re called Weenicons and based on different pop culture icons. First peeks show figures for Michael Jackson and Mr. T and the rest of the A-Team. Other figures include Rocky Balboa and Alex from A Clockwork Orange.
These are great. Everyone is bound to like something from this line. The figures will be released in polyresin first then hopefully in vinyl.
Hot Toys has a 12″ Sheva figure from the Resident Evil 5 video game. It’s fully articulated with thirty points of articulation and comes with the regular fabric clothing and lots of gear. She has jeans, leather-like boots, tank top and bra, armbands, earrings, and necklaces.
Her weapons set is a virtual arsenal that includes a knife, a M92F handgun, VZ-61 machine gun, an AK-74, an H&K PSG-1 rifle, a big Magnum handgun, an M3 shotgun, and Ithaca M37 shotgun… and don’t forget the hand grenade.
She also comes loaded with lots of accessories including ammo packs for her handguns and machine guns, a headset, radio, five interchangeable hands with gloves, and a stand with the Biohazard 5 logo (Resident Evil is called Biohazard over in Japan).
Now someone has to make her in her alternate bikini costume.
Watch for Sheva later this year.

Yamato has a new sexy girl figure coming out… Iroha from the video game Samurai Showdown. It’s the next in line in Yamato’s Story! Image! Figure! EX collection. The figure is 1/6 scale and sculpted by Diskvision, the sculptor of the awesome “Eve” figure coming out soon. The figure comes with a display stand that looks like a wooden floor and weapons. Not sure if Iroha’s costume is cast-off, but it looks like it might be from the pictures. We were not totally sure if Yamato’s Arisa was cast-off and look at how great that turned out for those of us who picked one up. Iroha is up for preorder now and is expected to arrive in August or September from Yamato USA.

Finally… more Shunya Yamashita figures. Yamato is releasing two new figures based on artwork by Shunya Yamashita, designer of the upcoming bishojo Marvel figures.
The first one is Emaretta-Chan. She comes with a cape, sword, and skull base. The cape comes off and it looks like the top may also “be cast-off”. The sculpt stays really true to the original illustration. The sculpt was done by Sunny Day, who also guitar girl, Arisa … great stuff. Expect this to arrive around September for around $80.
The second figure is Roxanne. She comes with a sword and base. The sculpt is also true to the original artwork and that top looks so so shiny. The sculpt on this one was done by REFLECT, who also brought us Non-Non. Expect Roxanne to arrive a little bit later in October for around $90.
