That's such great news I kind of want to cry. I have a LONG list of male characters I would love to see made into figures. Though I'm seconding an Itoshiki-sensei figure. Oh...that would make me very happy.
But they all pale in comparison...to a Kyon figure.
A delicious, awesome Kyon figure. Maybe mid-facepalm. Mmmm.
Hey, girls deserve some good figures too. How about a figure of that drawing I did of Lelouch popping out of a cake and wearing just the helmet, cape, gloves, and banana hammock? You think Ladies would like that?
As said before, Kamina is a definite given, though stuff like Shizuo or Izaya from Durarara!! would be awesome too~
I'd get it if they had another line named Vega as some kind of reference to Tanabata but Altair alone seems strange.
Edit: Oh god I almost forgot about Casshern, that would be so sweet.
Anyway, my picks? Geez, I can't even think. Give me a Sagara Sousuke, the guy from Reideen mid-transformation (kidding—even naked that would be a boring figure), that Togainu no Chi military dress Akira figure that I put off buying for too long T_T, Akidzuki Yuujiro from BakuIro. Hmm… more. Much more.
Whatever. When they make it, and I see it, I'll know, and I'll put my order in. (So long as they don't keep it to Eva, Gurren Lagann, Alchemist, Bleach, etc. Played out.)
@RockmanBionics:
That figure is kinda the awesome.
