Due to Wonder Festival and Chinese New Year there have been some exciting updates and new announcements, so let's get into it!
During Wonder Festival in Tokyo Kotobukiya announced new scale figure prototypes and concepts, in addition to the painted sample of Selene:
MSRP: 9180yen (due for release in July 2018)
One of the prototypes that was shown a day before the actual WonFest was Lily and Clefairy, which will be a Pokemon Center exclusive:
Preorders will open later this year and the price has not been announced.
A nice surprise was this Green with Eevee figure to accompany Red and Pikachu which was the first figure in the Pokemon Artfx line.
Those who missed out on it, don't worry, Kotobukiya announced a re-release for Red & Pikachu!

The release date and price have not been announced for this either,
but I think it's pretty safe to say it will have the same 9180yen price tag we have seen for all the others in the line so far.
