Isn’t she lovely? This is a custom “gyaru” edition of a Gundam figure, the MG Gyan. Apparently a staffer at Bandai was “inspired” to give the figure a more “feminine air” and is now auctioning the results off, and it’s currently at ¥39,000 (about $370 USD). The seller’s desired price is ¥50,000 (about $475), and they’ve got another two days to make it.

I wonder how many people are preparing to snipe that sucker from space like Lockon?

Via Sankaku Complex, who also has more shots of the figure (and a picture of the original MG Gyan it was derived from).

Moetron reports on an RPG featuring games by Capcom, Nippon Ichi, Bandai Namco, and a handful of other game pubs. The new RPG, called Xedge (pronounced Cross Edge) features two new characters, Yuuto Kanagi and Mikoto Aiba, who somehow cross paths with such video game classics as Darkstalkers‘ Felicia and Morrigan, Etona from Disgaea, plus people from games like Ar Tonelico and Atelier Marie. (Check out the Moetron article for the full list.)

Sounds a little bit like trying to bank on the crossover appeal that helped sell so many copies of Kingdom Hearts, but I’m willing to roll with it. Xedge is due out in September this year.
