At last weeks Wonfest many people could be seen carrying it around already. While one could argue that the reason for that lies in the fact that the cover depicts a character designed by the infamous Shunya Yamashita, the new free magazine HOBINO from Kotobukiya will spark some interest among the picture hungry figure otaku.

As one could probably expect it appears as the featured pvc works won't contain anything besides Kotobukiya releases but seeing as they put out a big number of the figures available every months fans will take note nonetheless.

Release day of the around 60 pages counting magazine featuring figures and models will be on the 25th every month. It will contain a column talking about recent developments as well as two mange stories titled "Armanoid" by  Kenji Terada and "Bukiya no Kotoko" by Sakaki Reirou.
