Figure maker Kotobukiya posted a product listing to their official online shop over the noon hour today for a PVC figure of Mao from the Tony-designed PS2 RPG Shining Wind. She’s due out in July at 1/8 scale (16.5 cm tall) and 5,775 yen retail, with a castoffable jacket; sculptor information is unconfirmed but my guess is that she’s the work of Nakamura Hirotoshi.
In other Kotobukiya news, the maker has posted a list of upcoming figures that will be featured in hobby magazines through the month of April. The key bishoujo PVC items appear to be:
- Lala – To Love-Ru
- Mao – Shining Wind
- Noumi Kudryavka – Little Busters!
- Kamikita Komari – Little Busters!
- Sennin Haruka – Choukou Sennin Haruka (Beat Blades Haruka)
- Rion – Tales of Destiny
- Naomi – Art of Yamashita Shunya
A couple of new announcements in the mix there that we’ll be watching for as the Dengeki Hobby / Hobby Japan street date nears in a few more days. Mao pictures below:
