The claws of evil: The Darkness 2, Mortal Kombat - Kitana, Dragon Quest - Equipment of Roto, Puella Magi Madoka Doll: Kaname Madoka, Tiger & Bunny Art Book with Wild Tiger Action Figure & more! 
From the publisher: It's been two years since Jackie Estacado, now Don of the Franchetti crime family, used The Darkness to kill the men responsible for his girlfriend's murder.
He's been unable to shake the memory of Jenny's death since bottling up his supernatural power and now The Darkness wants out.
A sudden, unprovoked attack on Jackie's life heralds the start of a full-scale mob war which has clearly been orchestrated by some outside force. The botched attempt opens the door for The Darkness to reemerge, and sets Jackie on a journey to hell and worse as he unravels the mystery behind the attack and the motivations of The Darkness itself.
The Limited Edition comes with the exclusive Gourmet Hearts and Relic Hunter character abilities, the "Crazy Abdul" darkling outfit, a custom illustration by Marc Silvestri and a free download of The Darkness Origins Volume 1 and 2.

Welcome to this week's toys update. Check out the wonderful collectibles we just got in stock and all the new products made available for pre-order.
The figure captures Kirino's fizzy energy through her running pose. She could be chasing after you for her favorite adult game or is simply trying to get you out of her room before certain scenes in the game starts.
Kirino looks even more angry with both her eyes narrowed in the limited Bakka Janai version. The package comes with extra accessories such as her school bag and a rubber strap of the green Octopus. Fasten him to your bag and bring a piece of Ore no Imoto with you when you go out.
Little sisters are just this cute. The special Bakka Janai version of Kirino is available at an unbeatable bargain price of US$ 54.90 only! The maximum amount of purchase is set to 2 figures per customer.
Gamers who have played Tales of Vesperia are familiar with Rita and her fiery personality. Throwing her sash before her, she is combining her magical skills with her physical attacks. The figure maker Teruyuki captures the confidence in her expression and her explosive flames in her posture.
Her clothes are carefully sculpted with all the pockets and embroideries, completely loyal to her character designer Fujishima Kousuke's specs. Like all figures in the series, Rita comes with the super deformed rampaging scholar, created by Amamiya Hideo.
Everybody needs a smart person in their team, Rita comes this June:
| Tales of Vesperial 1/8 Scale Pre-Painted PVC Figur: Rita Mordio | JPN | US$ 124.90 |
Miku looks like a different person when she puts her hair down. In Romeo and Cinderella, she sheds her more innocent and childlike image for something sexier and sultry.
The figure exudes the same seductive air from Doriko and Nezuki's music video. Instead of simply lying on a bed, she makes a pearly high heel her base, a playful tribute to the Cinderella in the song. Her hair streams down her back like a waterfall, the mint green forms a sharp contrast with her strawberry coloured camisole set. It also echoes with the lustrous red of the apple.
The 4th installment in the Mikumo series is Romeo and Cinderella. The figure is scheduled to arrive in March:

Irisviel might have a tragic fate waiting for her, but she is not going to sit around and mope. Accepting both her duties as Kiritsugu's wife and the container of the Holy Grail, she charges on to battle. True to her noble birth, she remains regal even when she fights. This might be the reason she makes such a good team with Saber.
Her weapon is the hunting eagle. The phantom-like creature glows with power when the collector shines a light on it. And when Irisviel is done with fighting, she changes her battle-glare to gentler expressions. She comes with a serene smile and a sleeping face.

The usual warmth and fluffiness exuding from her are gone, her hair and her fox tail turns a pure white while her eyes changes into a dark crimson. All expression is washed from her face, leaving nothing but calmness.
Her sword gleams like ice, combining lethal power with grace. The sheath flows from blue to white, the guard is a ring of snow flakes, this is a weapon that deals damage to enemies before they feel the pain.

Forget about manners, in fact, Misaka Mikoto never cared too much about manners. She will sit whenever she likes.

Around palm size and super deformed, Kuroko is here to join the Pettanko girls in Penguin Parade's newest figure series. Although tiny, she has all her details such as the Judgement badge on her arm and the curls in her hair.
