Figure maker Daiki Kougyou updated their official site this evening with a listing for an extraordinary Sei PVC figure from Bakuretsu Tenshi (Burst Angel). This PVC conversion continues Daiki’s tradition of adapting epic kits that turned a lot of heads on the garage kit circuit, with Sei coming from veteran sculptor Shiragami Takayuki (Yukishiro) who debuted the kit in 2007 (see below for our shots from WF07 summer). Daiki’s PVC version is scheduled to retail in early October at 11,550 yen, 28 cm tall (scale unspecified) and completely pre-painted and assembled. Preorders were momentarily open at Daiki but seem to have closed for now; we’ll be watching closely for further preorder info that should be coming soon. Figure images below:

From our Wonder Festival 2007 Summer coverage:
Note: this figure is not castoffable, and in its original incarnation is cut off below the knees. It seems that Daiki’s version will be as well.

Awesome, me want!!!
Oh! I don’t like bust figures,but I would certainly make an exception this time.
Bakuten bakunyuu banzai \o/
Looks great, but still a bit expensive, just like all the other Daiki’s stuff..
btw, Off topic, I would like to comment a bit about the Aizu Mai Shiranui (just saw it because I only started collecting figure this year and I started collecting because of that Aizu Mai), I thought that resin was the greatest Mai figure yet… I haven’t seen anything better.. the MF Mai shiranui is nice, face is as usual MF best quality, but the ’shiny orange’ cloth is a turn-off….
Yeah, I also might make an exception on Sei, the sculpt and details are just too good to pass up…Thank goodness Daiki Kougyo caters to the international market too…
her left arm is missing too or is it hidden ? or something normal that happens in the anime ?

I believe the missing left arm is unique to the kit, not part of her anime design. It would be nice if Daiki got Shiragami to sculpt her missing limbs for this release, but I suppose that’s a lot to ask.
I’ll take her even like this, no problem :D
I really love the details on this figure but I’m not too fond of the missing limbs. It’s most likely out of my price range as well so unfortunately I’ll have to pass.
Nice Daiki bust.
BTW, If anyone wants a castoffable Sei, get those 2 Beagle ones from Shingo’s affiliated links. Small scale at 1/8 but still nice pink dots. 8)
Missing limbs is definitely a turn-off for me. The legs I can forgive, but the ARM? O_O And the price at this time is too much. I already have five figures that are must-haves on my list of “getting”, and me without a job! ;_;
Anyway, I won’t really lose any sleep over this, as I already have Alter’s Sei, which is enough for me.
