Touhou‘s fiery witch Kirisame Marisa is to receive a new figure by Kotobukiya, a welcome adaptation from a previously released garage kit.

Marisa can be ordered now.

A Figma version of Touhou‘s famous witch Kirisame Marisa promises to allow Touhou fans the long awaited opportunity of privately posing the witch astride her broom (or almost – it seems this crucial pose has been omitted).

The not-action-figure is set to be released by Max Factory in April 2010.

Marisa Kirisame’s Figma edition is available now.

Commercial Touhou figures now seem to be arriving thick and fast…

The PS3 port of “multiplatform” witch fest Bayonetta has been decried as a travesty with long load times, inferior graphics and a host of other deficiencies, but the hopes of those awaiting a patch have been dashed with a flat denial from Sega.

Sony’s eventual response to fan complaints about the state of the game on the PS3:

“Sorry but we can’t change anything at the loading time of this game.

I think isn’t possible that a patch can change this.”

Can’t, or won’t?

Platinum Games is doubtless reassessing the wisdom of outsourcing the PS3 port to Sega, a decision which soured the hyperbolic esteem in which the game is held with a note of acrimony.

Perfect Bayonetta is available on the Xbox 360 now.

Sexy witch Bayonetta has set the gaming world afire with her carefully crafted erotic allure, and naturally enough this has inspired a wide variety of spectacular artwork, particularly art of an erotic nature, and in every style from western and 3D CG to moe…

More such art on the Channel.

The game is of course available now. On the Xbox 360.

Touhou’s premier witch Marisa Kirisame is here portrayed by snaggle-toothed charmer Kipi, a legend amongst the gravure-type Japanese cosplayers who seem to enjoy so much popularity.

Danmaku sensation Touhou‘s premier witch Kirisame Marisa is cosplayed here by Ayaka. Sadly we are spared gratuitous bloomer shots, but in other resspects this rather lengthy series doe not disappoint.

With the onset of one of the year’s premier retail events, some topical Halloween images may be of interest. Even Nagi-sama and Miku are in attendance.

You might like to browse them on the Channel. If you need more, consider the witch and mage gallery as an honourary Halloween gallery too.

This gallery is comprised of extraordinarily tasteful illustrations of a wide variety of witches and similar magic users, with a balanced selection of images, both those moe and those ero.
