Amiami’s evening update tonight included a couple of figures we’ve reported on here in past weeks: Daiki Kougyou’s Sei PVC bust from Bakuretsu Tenshi and Movic’s Hankyuu Ibuki from Asu no Yoichi!. Tackling Ibuki first: we reported on her preorder listing at Movic back on May 13th, and it wouldn’t bear repeating here but for the revelation of a surprise upper castoff (images below). As previously reported her sculpt is from Saitou Heel and she’s set for release in August at…. Movic says 1/8 scale and 19 cm, Amiami says 1/7 scale and 21 cm. Both report a retail price of 5,880 yen.
Daiki’s Sei bust was also the subject of earlier reporting when her official page went online, and details on this release have changed as well. The sculpt is still credited to Shiragami Takayuki (Yukishiro) and she’s still scheduled for release in October at 28 cm tall; the retail price however has been lowered from the initially reported 11,550 yen to 9,975 yen. That doesn’t happen too often… Pictures of both figures can be found below:
Note: Sei is missing a left arm below the elbow and is cut off at the knees, as can be seen in our photos of the original kit.

Sei would be perfect if she came with an alternate cast off chest-
Wow big surprise for the castoff on Ibuki,hopefully Ayame will be too.
woohoo ! lower price for Sei :D
That Sei looks hot but her face is a little awkward to me.
Still neither make me gobsmacked. Oh well, more room for Nanael! ^^
Just preordered Sei! I’ve been waiting for a great Bakuretsu Tenshi figure to come out, and for me this one is great! (And also Sei is my favourite of all Bakuretsu Tenshi characters) I really don’t care if it’s castoffable or not… it’s enough knowing it’s Sei (and sculpted by the grat Daiki, that’s another big plus for me).
So, I guess I’ll pass on Ibuki… haven’t read any novel / manga about her. Although her figure seems to be of great quality also.

Just a note that Daiki Kougyou is the figure producer, not the sculptor (the sculptor is Shiragami Takayuki of circle Yukishiro).

Thanks on that one. I guess I was a bit sleepy when I wrote that (3:30 am local time in Spain).
I’m sorry for my mistake, I didn’t really check if Daiki was the sculptor or the producer.
If I could, I would edit my previous post but I guess it’s too late now.
Anyway, thanks for the info on the sculptor, I’ll keep an eye at his work.
