You know, when you tool around toy websites all day looking for the latest and greatest, I hate to say it, but you get accustomed to looking at toys and reacting a little bit less ... intensely? I love my collection, but I buy a lot less than I used to. Something really has to jam my buttons for me to really flip out when I see it.
That being said, when I went over to Figma blog this morning, I choked on my tea and nearly spit it all over the computer monitor. Sure, I'm really wanting more Persona 4 figures, but shit, I will most definitely take an Aegis Figma if I can't have those.
According to Figma blog, this one is being made due to tons of fan requests. She comes with a few different faces and rocket fish accessories, in addition to the usual plentiful supply of hands that all Figmas come with. We don't know release date or pricing yet, but the blog says more details will be coming soon. I will preorder this with the ferocity of a thousand suns the moment she is available. What about you?

I NEED YUR HALP!
I would quote her line when she receives an item off the protagonist, but I can't remember it... XO(
Go back to Texas.
Both are valid spellings and pronunciations.
I prefer Aegis, though
I will also preorder this.

There's a reason she's referred to as "Aigis" all over that page in the main text.
THE TENETS OF GLORIOUS NIPPON SHALL BE PRESERVED (this topic is serious business).
Also, it's Aigis.
Much like Final Fantasy 6, Tina becomes Terra because to the Japanese, Tina is an exotic sounding name. To us, It's normal. Terra, however, is exotic to us (Thanks Woolsey!). The Name Terra also ties in Celes.
Since a lot of folks don't know that Aigis is an alternative spelling for Aegis (the mythical shield of Athenia), "Aigis" sounds nonsensical. Atlus originally made the decision to go by the kana pronunciation, but for the record I think Aegis sounds WAY more robotic. I've never encountered a person with that name, but I can think of a hell of a lot of sci-fi or fantasy terms that would use it or would be appropriate.
In any case, they're both the same thing, so it comes down to preference.

PREORDERED.
You're trying to preserve the original spelling, right? I think you have it reversed -- In the Japanese version, it's Aegis. Aigis is the U.S.-translated version.
Do. Want.
Owned. Good job.
Heh, I wasn't trying to own anyone. Just pointing out a fact about my beloved Persona 3. :D
Also, I'm not really into action figures, but holy crap, I want this. I love how poseable it is.
I just went to Destructoid and I JIZZED IN MY PANTS.
I still think the Alter figure is better looking, but not owning that, this shall be a suitable substitute.
Also, I hate you Vanilla Gorilla. Your idea just doubled my expected expenditures on this.
