Wonder Festival 2013 (summer) just ended, and while we didn't get any new Tales of merchandise news, Kotobukiya surprised us with an unpainted version of their Colette figure!
Series: Tales of Symphonia
Character: Colette Brunel
Manufacturer: Kotobukiya
Scale: 1/8
Release Date: 2014
Price: TBA
It's hard to judge the quality of this figure from the unpainted prototype, but I'm hoping her size or quality won't differ much from ALTAiR's so I can display her with my other Tales of figures. :> ALTAiR/Alter is one of the best in the business in terms of quality, and while this Colette marks a huge step up from Kotobukiya's older Tales of scale figures (Tear, Natalia, Mint, and Arche) only time will tell if the quality has improved enough to stand her next to the best!
...I'll be buying her regardless of the quality of the finished product, but I'm just saying that it'd be wonderful to display her with all my Alter Tales of figures. Milestone Tear, for example, is 1/7 scale and looks awkward next to Alter Luke, while Kotobukiya Tear's proportions are a little different and her quality is too low so she stands out (but she was only a 4,000 yen figure and this Colette looks more like a 6,000 yen plus figure).
It would've been great if they had made her wings. (Her pose would work well for them, too!) In fact, I think it would've really improved her sales since it would've made her unique among the sea of female figures flooding us out there, but ah well. I'm sure they'd be difficult to actually make for a figure since they're not attached to anything.
