Marth and Caeda Nendoroids at Summer Wonder Festival 2015

July 26, 2015 VincentASM Merchandise, News 3 comments

First teased during February 2015, the Marth and Caeda Nendoroids were on display at the Summer Wonder Festival 2015 held in Japan today.

At the moment, only Marth has been painted; the fabled Hero-King looks rather glorious with his Falchion and Binding Shield.

I suspect Caeda, Marth’s sweetheart, will look nice when finalised as well, although her figure is still charming even without colour.

Both figures have yet to be given an expected release date or price, so Marth and Caeda fans will have to patiently wait for further updates.

By the way, you can find more pictures and discussions on our forums!

Azura’s Necklace and Hundred Songs of Heroes Available Online (Japan-only)

July 25, 2015 VincentASM News 4 comments

A heads up for those who wanted to purchase merchandise from the 25th Anniversary Concert this weekend, but could not attend (or find somebody attending to help).

The two most valuable items–Azura’s necklace and the Hundred Song of Heroes–can now be ordered online via Otomart. During August, they can be ordered from Gee!store as well.

If you’re interested and have the funds to spare, don’t hesitate too long, as these items have been produced in limited numbers–the necklace in particular is limited to 700, many of which were already sold at the concert.

But be warned that these websites only ship to addresses in Japan. So if you don’t live in Japan (or have any friends or relatives there), you will need to seek a middleman (or friend) to assist you.

As for myself, I should have secured one of each item from the concert venue. Now, if only there was a Golden Gaffe DLC for real life…

Rumour: Fire Emblem Fates Manga Coming Fall 2015

July 24, 2015 VincentASM FE Fates, News 4 comments

I’m not one to report rumours often, but this one seems credible enough.

According to multiple fans who were present at the 25th Anniversary Concert, Nintendo announced a Fire Emblem Fates manga, to be serialised in Young Magazine starting this Fall (in Japan). (Source: Hachime)

If the reports are true, Yusuke Kozaki (the artist of Awakening and Fates) will be providing the illustrations, while Shin Kibayashi (the story director for Fates) is penning the story.

Update: Famitsu has added a brief report about this news. Besides what we already knew, an image of a sword-wielder overlooking a sunset was teased at the concert.
