Yesterday evening character goods shop Chara-Ani posted a listing for a rather risque Akane PVC figure from Kimi ga Nozomu Eien spinoff game/OVA Akane Maniax. This “Akane Matsuri” figure will street in late January of ’08, at 1/7 scale (23 cm tall) and a whopping 8,190 yen retail. Sculpting duty is from Ishizuka Gen of Mottara Kezuru. While I’m a fan of Akane Maniax (mostly of Gouda, to be honest), Akane’s matsuri design is one of the ugliest things I’ve ever seen in anime and I wish they’d have used the resources for this kit in a less Mardi Gras design. Still, those desirous of such an item can look for her preorder to appear elsewhere shortly. (no more)
just in time to pick it up!
This was the part I remembered most about Akane Maniax. I might be forced to get it just for the lulz.
Umm, excuse me, while I wipe the blood of my nose! ^A^
I meant “off”… ^_^;;
Dunno……the face looks okay but the “non-flesh” flesh colored body suit makes it look……odd.
Seems there’s a limited version available…
