As of midnight tonight, June 20th (eight minutes ago as I type this) the first installment of the Shuraki original figure / artbook / drama CD collaboration series from Goodsmile and RED Entertainment went up for preorder. This first “trinity box” release features original character Mishiro Akatsuki, designed by Migarashi Aki and sculpted by zenko of circle Iousen. This first limited edition box release due out in September consists of 5,000 units, containing the figure itself (with interchangeable parts), a 92-minute drama spanning two CDs and featuring some of Japan’s finest voice talent , and a 24-page A5 size booklet with production art and other material. At 4,800 yen price point this is a staggeringly good deal, and one that’s definitely worth looking into if you can find her in stock anywhere after tonight’s rather vicious run on the market. I have to say that hair does look rather silly, though… Edit: a list of officially authorized Shuraki vendors can be found here. It looks like HLJ will be getting it, as will Hobby Search, so stay on guard for the preorder listings. (no more)

Crap, didn’t realize it was going to be *that* limited in release. Guess the chances are slim for those inside and outside of Japan huh?
“a list of officially authorized Shuraki vendors can be found here. No direct international shipping options, it seems. ;_;”
Why not? Hobbysearch and HLJ are in the list, so it should be ok I hope. Will just need to be REALLY fast to get one :/

Because, simply put, I am an idiot who only looked at the online shop list at the bottom of the page. Never mind that neither HLJ or Hobby Search has a brick and mortar storefront…
Anyway, this is great news! Good luck to anyone planning to hit either of them up.

I guess that answers your question.

Shingo, why yes, yes it does ;)
Currently looks like either HobbySearch filled their reservation queue or they’re just not taking orders yet. Nothing yet on HLJ as is the norm.
HobbySearch opened preorders yesterday. It was up for a few minutes then closed.
[…] Here’s my second go at a figure photo shoot. I know the lighting is far from perfect but I’ll get better as time goes along. Sorry in advance for the low resolution shots, because Flickr caps the maximum size for free users. Let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Shuraki is a collaboration between Good Smile Company and Red Entertainment for a cross-platform. Quoted from Heisei Democracy […]
