TomoPop reports on two anime figures being offered exclusively at San Diego Comic Con: a figure of Alucard from Hellsing (left), limited to 600 pieces, and Afro and Kuma from Afro Samurai (right), limited to 200 pieces. The figures are being brought out by Organic USA, naturally.

And hey, won’t that Alucard go great with my Hellsing Ultimate volume 4 on September 16th? ♥♥

See what I did there?

I saw a report on this on my 2ch navigator, but then I couldn’t actually get the page to load. Fortunately, it seems to have worked for Sankaku Complex, who got the details: Satelight has lost the rights to the Hellsing Ultimate OVA for reasons unbeknownst (2ch’s disrespect for Satelight is noted; after what they did to the Kamichama Karin adaptation, I can’t blame them).

Taking over? Madhouse! Talk about your upgrades. So, Hellsing Ultimate episode 5 will be created by Madhouse, although no release date has been announced yet.

Honestly, it’s also kinda nice to be reminded that this sorta thing happens in Japan, too.
