Moeyo has posted further details regarding the bishoujo figures on display at the 2007 Plastic Model and Radicon Show currently happening at Makuhari Messe in Tokyo. A quick roundup: Yamashita Shunya‘s Petra is coming from Aoshima‘s Funny Knights line in February of ’08, and appears at least partially castoffable. The Range Murata-designed Character Design Bible vol. 03 Cover Girl PVC is coming from Beagle on May 1st, 2008 at 7,140 yen retail. Kotobukiya’s Lei Fang is coming in January at 1/6 scale and 8,190 yen retail, in two versions: regular and Tecmo shop limited. Both come with interchangeable swimsuit parts. Kotobukiya’s To Heart 2 Another Days Yamada Michiru is coming in January at 4,725 yen, along with their Another Days Konomi (maid ver.) at 5,040 yen. (no more)
Lei Fang? I came. Too bad for the Tecmo limited, that rules out any chance of getting it cheap.
petra looking good
The Range Murata CDB girl only in kit form? Nooooo ;____;

The regular edition will be available discounted, but if you want the Tecmo limited I’m afraid you’ll have to stomach the 8,190 yen price. :(

I’m sorry, I’ve been using “kit” for the past several months to refer to any figure regardless of make. It’s a PVC, and I edited the post to suit; I’ll try to be more careful with usage of the term from now on.

Actually, I meant that even if the figure doesn’t sell well, the Tecmo limited version will still cost 8190 yen thereabouts, while the normal version might eventually have its price slashed by 50% or more, if lucky. To the auctions, then!
Now none of interest for me. The Petra just isn’t something I’d like to spend money on (at least at this time)…
Thanks for the clarification Shingo, I know what I’m buying come next May! ^^
Petra is looking nice.
