Danmachi Hestia Figure

Japanese figure manufacturer Kaiyodo announced it will produce a Danmachi Hestia Revoltech figure. However, a frame of release or exact release date was not disclosed. More information will appear in the future, according to Kaiyodo. The announcement itself was revealed on the official Kaiyodo X account (formerly known as Twitter).

This isn't the first time Danmachi will receive some kind of merchandise. In November 2024, it was announced a series of themed perfumes based on characters from Danmachi, or Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon, would be released in mid-December 2024.

This included fragrances for Hestia, Bell, Ryu, Syr, and Welf. Each fragrance was made to encapsulate the character that inspired it, with the Hestia perfume including more floral notes, such as iris and lily of the valley. These perfumes were previously available for pre-order, but can now be purchased for a limited time at participating retailers in Japan.

Danmachi, or Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon was available to stream via Crunchyroll. However, it has since been removed from the streaming service as of March 2022.

ANYCOLOR Nijisanji Scam

ANYCOLOR has posted a statement on X (formerly known as Twitter) concerning suspicious scam e-mails that have claimed to be from lawyers affiliated with Nijisanji. The entertainment agency has clarified that neither ANYCOLOR or Nijisanji has sent out any such e-mails, and warns recipients not to open any attachments or respond to said e-mails.

You can find the official statement concerning ANYCOLOR, Nijisanji, the impersonation of their lawyers, and the aforementioned scam below:

The statement mentions that suspicious e-mails are being sent from the "bleumaitland145@gmail.com" address, which has no affiliation to ANYCOLOR or Nijisanji. ANYCOLOR continues to warn consumers about opening or downloading any attachments, and that these emails, if received, should not be responded to. The statement also mentions that no personal information should be disclosed with the sender in question.

In October 2024, ANYCOLOR announced it would be taking legal action against defamation of the company and it's Nijisanji subsidiary. This would include slander towards any agency associated with ANYCOLOR, of it's talents, and violation of privacy rights. Another reason ANYCOLOR could potentially take legal action would be the impersonation of employees. Whether or not ANYCOLOR will take action against these scammers has yet to be seen.
