Billy Herrington, better known as “Aniki” (Big Brother) or “The Forest Fairy” to millions of NicoNico Douga viewers, has arrived in Japan to take part in a Saturday event in Akihabara hosted by Good Smile Company and Nico to promote Figma and Nendoroid figures.
Herrington, a former American gay porn star (he himself is bisexual) active in the 1990s, noted for his superb physique, is famed for being part of a Nico meme that began when a clip of one of his works (“GachiMuchi Wrestling”) was uploaded to the site, and has since been inserted into many a Nico video for comedic effect.
A short video of him greeting his Japanese fans has been made, and is viewable below, along with some of his other works…

This upcoming figure of Kyouka Midarezaki, the tsundere mother from Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, captures her likeness especially well and continues maker Good Smile‘s recent run of exceptional figures such as the Saber Lily and the Rin and Len Kagamine loli / shota pair.

This lovely new figure from Good Smile is the full sized and scaled version of their previous limited edition Figma Saber Lily that came bundled with the PS2 game Fate/Unlimited Codes.

Good Smile Company persists in bringing us well executed, but utterly unknown characters from not so popular eroge. This time we see Hiyori Pixie, of adult vampire dating game Chu x Chu Idol, with proper cast off functionality.
You can see something of the eroge on the Channel (including her in futanari mode). The art is quite good, though far from stunning.

The Good Smile website has just updated with photos of the upcoming Figma Haruhi Suzumiya and Mikuru Asahina Cheerleader figures that were displayed at Comiket 75.

Pre-orders for the Nendoroid version of Kagami cosplaying as Hatsune Miku, known as MikuMiku Kagami and showcased at Comiket 75, have recently opened.
Like all Nendoroids, it comes with numerous interchangeable limbs to allow different poses should you prefer the presence of leeks, or even wish to filch parts from other Nendoroids.
Kagamiku, as she is often known, is of course popular both from her appearance in the Lucky Star OVA, and from her numerous appearances in fanart.

How to spot a MikuMiku fake: on the left we see Comrade Miku, and on the right we have Good Smile Miku; you will likely recognise the figure in question as being the now iconic and extremely popular Nendoroid Hatsune Miku (try Kagamiku if you want something in stock)…

Here you can see something of the new figure rendition of eroge Unity Marriage: Double Bride’s heroine Unity Yuno, by Good Smile, along with her 2D original incarnation.
Since the figure closely follows the CG, let us compare the two; first the CG:

I was frustrated to see earlier that all the Japanese bloggers and even 2ch it seems were far too polite to take photographs of the “photography prohibited” pre-release Nendoroid Nagi-sama, but by way of a Chinese imageboard, surfaced over at Danny’s, you can see it above.
Even my rudimentary Chinese can make sense of what a commenter calls it: 中古~~~~真萌
