Last month we got word of pre-orders for Alter's Rita Mordio figurine. Last week was the Wonder Festival in Japan and with it came new figurines galor.
The first article from Dengeki reveals an Milla Maxwell (Tales of Xillia) figurine from Alter in an unpainted prototype version. Alter is only giving a vague 2012 release date for her, however.
The other article from Dengeki reveals Nendoroids Petits for Yuri Lowell and Jude Mathis, both also in prototype form. Other Tales characters appear behind in a poster and these types of figurines usually come in sets, so it's almost assured that the characters behind them will also be released alongside these two characters. No release date was given for them.
Yuri Lowell, the main protagonist from Tales of Vesperia and the winner in the recent Top 30 Most Popular Characters (General) poll at this year Tales of Festival, is now coming to plastic, figurine form thanks to Alter.
Alter is well-known in the figurine making business, with figurines for properties such as K-On! and the Xenosaga series. According to the company's blog post, a sample of the figurine will be present at the upcoming Wonder Festival 2010 (Summer).
No word was given on a release date or the price for the Yuri Lowell figurine, but news likely will be released tomorrow during the event.
Earlier today was the second day of Tales of Festival 2010, but unlike yesterday there doesn't seem to be that much news coming, except for the rest of the popularity poll results and some other minor Tales news.
As we reported on earlier, Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X will be receiving a pre-order bonus DVD. The name of the DVD will be Dramatic DVD Tales of Costume!?. There's also rumours that an Asbel costume for Dio will be made available, which would make sense considering he appears on the DVD.

Earlier today was the first day of Tales of Festival 2010, which brought some new news along with it, along with partial results of the Tales of Popularity poll that was going on at Tales Channel earlier this year.
Namco Bandai has confirmed the rumors that Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X will be having demos. The first demo will hit in early July, which will focus on the improved battle system in the Tales of Phantasia part of the game. Later in the month, a second demo will hit which features the Narikiri Dungeon X portion of the game. The rumored August 5, 2010 release date was also confirmed at the event.
As for the rumored PS3 Tales game, known as Tales of Unitia, the game was a no-show at the Festival except for a mention that this Summer a "major" announcement would occur. It's unknown why they would push the unveiling that far, but they may be putting some extra polish on the game and didn't want to unveil it just yet.
More news as well as the results of the popularity polls can be found in the full story.
Just when you thought there wasn't enough DLC Tales of Vesperia costumes, Namco Bandai has announced more. Since the release of Tales of Vesperia on the PS3 in September 2009, the company has released a various assortment of costumes, ranging from cameos of earlier Tales of games to cameos of older Namco Bandai properties.
This latest batch don't seem to have to do with either one, instead being called the "strongest" costumes. From the pictures shown, it looks like these costumes could be considered as high-level, flashy variations of their normal costumes (think of it as a class change for each character).
Each costume will be released on February 10, 2010 for 300 Yen a piece in Japan. No word has been announced on an localization for either North America or Japan.
Namco Bandai has revealed a slew of new Namco-themed Tales of Vesperia DLC costumes due to be released next year during Jump Festa 2010.
Each character will get one Namco-themed costume, ranging from the company's beginnings to its latest games. The costumes will be released on January 14th, 2010 (no price was revealed). The costumes are as follows:
Yuri: Heishiro Mitsurugi (Soul Calibur) Estelle: Valkyrie (The Adventures of Valkyrie) Flynn: Frederic Chopin (Eternal Sonata) Repede: Character from Family Stadium Karol: Klonoa (Klonoa) Rita: Haruka Amami (The Idolmaster​) Judith: KOS-MOS (Xenosaga) Raven: Heihachi (Tekken) Patty: Mr. Driller (Mr. Driller)
According to an update on Famitsu's website, Namco Bandai will be re-releasing the Tales of the Abyss cameo costumes on the PlayStation Store later this month. Originally, said costumes were only available to those who had pre-ordered the game before it's release earlier this year.
However, these costumes are not exactly the same as the ones that were released before. The hair color and other modifications were made to match the original Tales of the Abyss characters better (the pre-order costumes merely just added the clothing onto the characters), and the "clothing" icon that appears next to DLC costumes is also there now.
Namco Bandai will release these new costumes on December 15th for 150 Yen each as a tie in to mark the fourth anniversary of the original game's release in Japan.
On the eve of the release of Tales of Graces in Japan, Namco Bandai has added a new video showcasing the Tales of Vesperia costumes that can be worn by Asbel, Sophie, and Cheria.
This game is the first mothership (Namco Bandai's term for non-spin-off games in the Tales of series) game for the Wii. The previous Tales of game for the Wii, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, was classified as a spin-off sequel.
