The full purchasing details of the Kojika Rin figure we’ve been tracking for the past few weeks are now online, and it’s not good news for international fans. You can put her in your shopping basket, but to check out you (or a proxy) needs to be in Japan, pay either the lump sum of 70,000 yen (shipping included) up front via bank transfer, or pay 10,000 yen via bank transfer and then the rest when the item ships. We still don’t have a precise release window, but at least there are some higher resolution pics online (albeit of the unpainted prototype). We’ll keep an eye out for a finished version of the kit, and any additional news about possible international availability. (no more)
So who IS getting this kit? It seems a tad unaffordable, and shipping itself would be a killer.
I don’t see myself getting that amount so early (I have to eat!) and the Japan-only thing always keeps me away.
Altough at this point, I’m still wondering what the eyes are going to look like.
Sucks to hear that it’s Japan-only, and that price is way too much for me…
If only it were fully cast-offable… I would probably still not get it…
こどものじかん九重りんは小学生ブログ has a tidbit about an interesting set today. .ANIME will be selling the Kojika limited edition DVDs together with that figure and three pillow covers designed by Watashiya Kaworu for JPY 114,800:

It sort of makes Kojika look like it fosters a market of obsessive maniacs :-).
