Strike Witches Figma! Finally! And now AGP too...

For discussion of all the other girl+mecha lines that have cropped up since Shinki began: Frame Arms: Girls, Megami Device, Armor Girls Project, Desktop Army, etc. This includes kinda-sortas like Daibadi's Polynian and things like Strike Witches and Fumikane's original Mecha Musume.

Hey, at least I got CLOSE with her first name, I don't even want to try pronouncing the rest of it. It took me long enough to figure out she's actually based on a guy from Finland and not actually Sweden, or that Sanya's last name actually had a "y" in it.

I don't even remember how many C's are in Franccessca.

It's pretty much pronounced how you'd expect. The only part that's weird from an English-speaker perspective is the J being pronounced as a Y.

Or maybe I'm just too used to weird Finnish names from years of watching hockey, and more recently, having a few of them as guildies in WoW.

Taken from a user from TFW's Figma thread:

That's right, colored Sanya proto and EILA PROTO!

Now the only question is who they're going to make AFTER Eila.

My money's on Shirley coming out next. :p

Though I do hope they also have Francesca as well. (Personal preference, anyways.)

So far the signs are pointing to all the girls being Season 1, as Yoshika has the Zero strikers and not the upgraded super versions she trades up for later on. I don't remember, but I'm pretty certain the same applies for Lynette as according to her box the Spitfire model her included Strikers are based on is the Mk. IX, whereas in S2 she's upgraded to the Mk. 22. I hope they stick with Season 1 for Charlotte, namely because I MUCH prefered the green uniform to her later red one. The green went better with her hair, IMO. Mio, on the other hand, I hope they make an exception for and base her off S2, namely because then she'll have different Strikers than Yoshika and also be able to come with the Repumarru Sword, which was pretty important in the final episodes IIRC.

If they make Shirley next, then Francesca is all but garunteed. Heck, the Itallian is the only one missing of the three boob-obsessed members of the 501st so far (Yoshika and Eila being the other ones). Plus, Shirley is one of the "easier" witches, namely in that she doesn't need special effect parts to replicate her magic (which was like, throwing Francesca at high speed or something like that?).

My main concern, aside from Max Factory being dicks and not completeing the set like they have for so many other series (or making one of the eleven an overpriced exclusive), is how they're going to pull of Perrine, Erica, and Francesca. Of the eleven witches, those three have the most magic effect heavy powers of the group.

Shirley's magic is about speed. She managed to break the sound barrier at least ttwice without using jet strikers.

Wish someone would post a better res scan, but, whatever. Preorders can't go up fast enough for me.
As i tought it will be, Sanya's "radar" is transparent, but too bad it's not as what i expected it would be. On the other hand, THAT HOMING MISSILE!! XD Oh, & just like Yoshika with Lynnette, Sanya (or Eila?) got a special 'hand part'.
