@benhan:
Yes, for me too.
Union-Creative recently started a new line called Hdge. This company might be unknown for some "rookie" collectors including me. I just had several 30 cm Crows figure made by them and could say that I'm really satisfied with the quality of their products.
However their recent list of Hdge are surprisingly impressive and made me thinking about collecting this line.

From above list, only Calne Ca (Vocaloid) that has been released and judging from MFC user comments, they have been impressed by it.
Their next figures will be from Psycho-Pass series (whose anime written by Gen Urobochi, the same writer of Madoka anime) and today I found they just put Kat from Gravity Rush/Daze (Vita game) on pre-order.

I think I'm gonna pre-order Kat, and heavily tempted to collect their Psycho-Pass figures. One of the sculptors is VAROQ who made that impressive Banpresto tournament winning Crocodile. I saw some comments from this forum users on this subject too. So what do you think of Union Creative Hdge line?
And of course the fact that they're making figures from Shingeki no Kyojin and Metal Gear Solid V series shows that they're really serious to compete with the top tier figure producers. The more the merrier.
I'm not sure about them yet. Calne-Ca looks awesome, but I didn't get here because I don't see her on myself. It's an impressive figure, but not for me I guess. I'm eying their other stuff because I'm interested on their SnK figures.
I haven't read/watch Psycho Pass or any of the other series they are releasing so I'm not sure how good they are. Kat looks good, but I saw some close ups and I don't like the painting. The base is just aweful too. Maybe if she gets bargain binned. I don't know.
@TräshCät:
They are also working on a Hoozuki!! - and he looks really good so far. I own that Calne Ca and she is really impressive when we're talking about overall look. The quality is ok, I'd say. The paint job is good and seam lines are there but none of that is a deal breaker for me. Her base however … wow, one of the worst things ever. The figure itself is kinda delicate and probably breaks easily but her base has no plugs or similar. There are two plastic parts were you insert her 'feet'. Sadly it's not stable at all. Due to her weight she keeps falling forward no matter what. If you get her to stay, one little vibration or a strong breath and she falls again. I had to use blutac to keep her in place. :/ Other than that she's nice though.
I really wanna order their Kitty and Akane but I kinda worry about the quality. Kitty's pictures show a very rough painting. ^.^
Other than that ... I went to war, and I'm back safely. Secured Altair's Haruka and Makoto from Free! :D Hurray for half naked men joining my shelf!
Hurray for them!!! I haven't placed an order for them yet. If I'm not wrong they are made to order, so there's still time. I want to know what are the HS exclusives first. If they are extra figure parts, I'm ok with dropping a couple of bucks to get them.
Btw, thanks for the Calne-Ca review.
