Famed moe artist POP presented his take on Fushigi no Kuni no Arisu (Alice in Wonderland) back in April of 2006, and now his vision is being enacted in the 3D realm in this new Alice PVC figure announced from Alter (production) and Happinet (sales and distribution) today. She clocks in at 1/8 scale (18 cm tall) and a slightly pricey 7,329 yen retail, with release scheduled for March of 2008; this looks to me like nothing less than an attempt to go head to head with Goodsmile’s recently announced Pastel Ink diorama figure, and I can only see an escalation of this war between former bedfellows as a tremendous windfall for fans of POP’s particular brand of hyper-saccharine cuteness. Alice is already up for preorder at Amiami and should be appearing elsewhere as I type this. (no more)

If this is a battle, then sign me up!! ^_^ Alice is soooooo cute! I must get it! :3
Man, I hope for our sake they keep warring and competing. Hatred and brutal competitveness brings out the cute ones!
I’m not into loli…I’m not into loli…I’m not into loli…
I have to admit both figures are really really saccharine sweet…it’s unhealthy for me…
If the competition between the two companies keeps producing figures like these, I for one welcome our new overlords. Pastel’s diorama doesn’t really do it for me though. It’s too hyper and busy. Alice has that great blend of Alter quality, and overall the sculpt and colour scheme is a lot more appealing.
Everyone needs a bit of cuteness on their desktop :P. Although 7000 is a bit scandalous… *weeps for the days when good 1/8ths were 4000-5000*
