Three of the Shining series figures from President Japan (Eye Ball/Eye Scream) we’ve had our eye on for the past few months went up for preorder simultaneously today, with listings appearing at Kotobukiya’s online shop. First up is Seena Kanon from Shining Wind [PA], who’s set for release in July at 1/8 scale (28 cm tall) and 8,190 yen retail. Next is Houmei, also from Shining Wind, set for release at 1/8 scale (14.5 cm tall) and 8,190 yen retail; her listing is not accompanied by a release date, but July seems like a logical guess. Finally we have Maple from Shining Tears [PA], presented at a stunning 1/1 scale, 38.2 cm tall and due out in July at 18,900 yen. Sculptor information for all three figures is currently unavailable. We’ll update this post with additional details and images as they come online; current images below. Update: full image galleries now online:

I definitely would want the 1/1 Maple, but my pre-orders have gotten the better of me, and that price tag isn’t doing much to help.
Noooooooo!!!!
There goe my monies ;__;
Why is EyeScream only limits their Shining poses to either standing straight, or sitting on the floor. Blanc Niege, Elwyn, Mao and that Seena are standing, while Runa, Kureha and Houmei sitting just like that. Not that I’m complaining..
all 3 are nice, but none are worth their retail.
I would pre-order Houmei since she’s my favorite character, but her pose seen so unattractive.
Wow, seldom get to see 1:1 scale figurine. :D Its pretty nice~ But July have many figurines coming out… Have to control budget, already pre-ordered figurine for July lol.
8190 yen for a 1/8 scale! They’re crrrrrazy! And I was interested in that Houmei, too…
Whew…I’m just glad I’m not a fan of the Shining series nor the Dragon Destiny series. Else, I’ll be flat broke 2 seasons ago.
Still, that 1/1 Maple is pretty interesting. I guess I will scour the web for pictures once it’s released.
Nooooo @ price of Maple
Damnit I really want to get her but there’s no way I can afford that on my budget especially since I’m not willing to cancel my other July orders. Ugh maybe someday..
I hate huge prices like that! Grrr..
Houmei is full cast off????????????????????????
>>KL
Not full castoff as far as I know, I believe the china dress is not removable. It would be a first for the series if she was.
