While Guilty Crown has been getting a lot of flack from fans recently, it seems like merchandise for the show is really on the rise! Inori got not one, not two, but three figures at Wonder Festival, and it seems like several prize figure companies will be working on the cast as well. Taito put up some scaled figures for order quite a while back, but it seems like they plan on doing a line of smaller trading figures as well!
These five are designed by the same artist who has worked on many of Kotobukiya’s One Coin sets, and I love the quirky look the characters have. Included in this set will be Inori, Shu Ouma, Ayase Shinomiya, Gai Tsutsugumi and Tsugumi. I suspect these will be sold individually like Taito’s Ika Musume set as well as all together, and each one should retail for around ¥500.

For those fans who have wanted to see more of the cast, Kaiyodo is making a set of trading figures that looks pretty damn nice–just look at the sculpting work, and keep in mind that these are each only about 3 inches tall!</p> <p>We’ve got, of course, Inori, but also the wheelchair-bound Ayase Shinomiya and the adorable Tsugumi, along with their robot companion Fyu-Neru. I am really tempted to get these just to custom Ayase into Oracle, with the downside being that I have absolutely no idea how to do that. A set will run you ¥1,880 and they’ll be released in July, with orders going up very soon!</p> <p>[via <a href="http://www.ganguya.com/titles/view/641" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.ganguya.com']);" target="_blank">Kaiyodo</a>]</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/KaiyodoGuiltyCrownHeader.jpg "Kaiyodo’s Guilty Crown Trading Figures")
