Microman-style trading figures from ATELIER-SAI

Geneblock figures are kind of a hybrid between Microman, Stikfas and Xevos. They consist of interchangeable ball and socket joints that can be configured in many ways. Previously Geneblock has been used for vehicles and robots, but these are the first "human" figures in the line (that I know of). Called Geneblock RNA, the line consists of 6 different blind boxed figures. Each one retails for 800yen and is about 4 inches tall. On sale in November 2007.

New Dancougar nova, Mazinger Z and Megazone 23! News from Medicom, Ohtsuka Kikaku, Alter-Sai and Megahouse! Too much news to wait until Friday

1 Meter Dancougar Nova figure

To quote August Ragone:

"To sum it up, the article says that when the new series, DANCOUGAR NOVA completes its television run, the series will be issued on DVD starting May 25. The first DVD will contain uncut versions of Episodes 1 & 2, which were cut for television broadcast, and the DVD release will also contain a special postcard.

But, in conjunction with the DVD release of Volume 2 on June 29, there will be a drawing for a special, limited edition (only ten are being made) 1-meter tall figure of Dancougar Nova. Which will be awarded in July. There are no details on what the figure will be made of (I assume that it will be most likely made of vinyl and will be manufactured by Sega)." (source)

The figure is made by ATS inc. (more pictures behind link)
