Nendoroid – Animal Crossing: Isabelle (April)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Nendoroid<\/p>\n

Isabelle may be more of a video game character than an anime character (though there was an Animal Crossing<\/em> anime made in 2006), but she\u2019d look great on any otaku\u2019s shelf, alongside other anthropomorphic characters like Chopper from One Piece<\/em> and Kon from Bleach<\/em>. Her charming expressions and extra parts\u2014music notes, question marks, pen and clipboard\u2014enhance her personality with optimistic flair.

\"Kotobukiya<\/p>\n

Voted the most anticipated anime series of fall 2015, Is the Order a Rabbit??<\/em> has many anime figure releases planned for spring 2016, first and most anticipated of which is Chino\u2019s 1\/8-scale figure. Last Christmas, we wrote about Chino\u2019s rare winter figure<\/strong><\/a>, released at the Wonder Festival in Japan. As fast as her 2015 figure sold out, we can only imagine that Kotobukiya\u2019s 2016 Chino figure<\/a><\/strong> will go out of stock just as quickly, so be sure to put her on pre-order soon! Though she is a static-base figure, her hat is removable for fans who prefer to see more of her pale blue hair.<\/p>\n

FunnyKnights – Is the Order a Rabbit?? – Syaro 1\/7 Complete Figure (May)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"FunnyKnights<\/p>\n

Not one, but two Is the Order a Rabbit??<\/em> figures are being released this spring. Rejoice, fanboys, for senpai has noticed you! At a 1\/7 scale, Syaro is slightly smaller than her Chino counterpart but no less adorable. Sculpted with a gentle, playful smile (probably under the influence of caffeine!), she hides her more insecure and timid side. Just be sure to keep her away from any rabbits you happen to have hopping around your home! <\/p>\n

She\u2019ll be at your service this May<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Nendoroid – THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls: Karen Hojo (June)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Following Nendoroid\u2019s release of Rin Shibuya, Karen Hojo makes the perfect complement as a member of the Triad Primus.
