O-M-G!!! “Becky look at her butt…” It was necessary to include that bit of musical history. =D A couple of days ago, I spotted the news of an upcoming Revoltech release: Professor Layton!!! To those who were paying attention, I recently got the Gloomy Bear Revoltech. Although I’m not running out to purchase all of their figures, I am very impressed with the quality of the figures and their super-posability is even more impressive.

If you follow me on twitter, then you already know that when IHCS participated in the Extra Life Fundraisor, I began the 24hr gaming marathon by finally getting around to playing through Professor Layton and the Curious Village. It is indeed what the commercials always promised it would be, the “super-addictive puzzle game you’ll learn to hate,” I think I paraphrased that. Anyway, the news of the upcoming Revoltech figure makes me really happy because I’ve recently been exposed to the two subjects at hand, and I love them both. I’m sure this will cost about the same as the Gloomy Bear Revoltech, which was about $35. Thanks to Tomopop for sharing the goodies.

Tomopop’s First-Lady-in-Chief (that’s the title I’ve come up with), Colette, has gone off to Tokyo, Japan to report on-site from Tokyo Game Show. Since I also follow Destructoid, the sister site, I caught her Professor Layton plushies post.

If you don’t know who Professor Layton is, then you obviously haven’t played the Nintendo DS game. The Professor Layton series (so far there have been two releases, more are coming next year) are a series of puzzle games. I recently started playing the second game, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, and so far I’m frustrated. =D Puzzle games always make me feel like fool– Scribblenauts is having the same effect on me too. Anyway, the plushies look super cute and I definitely want to own them. No news on when they’ll be released, but definitely check out PlayAsia for a pre-order. [via: Destructoid]
