I’m not quite sure how I missed this earlier as apparently the site has been up for some time, but figure maker First Class (official blog) is now open for business. They had a booth at Dream Party, which Moeyo! Akibajin Blog details here: the brand is apparently the brainchild of a fellow who calls himself kyo montana, and its maiden release lineup consists of the aforementioned Yuria Hyaku-shiki in December of this year, and Hitoyume‘s Hata Seika and Kozue Arine in January. Yuria is 1/7.5 scale (what?) while Seika and Arine are 1/8; all three are expected to retail at 6,800 yen. Pictures weren’t officially allowed at the event, but Moeyo recieved special permission; check out his coverage for further details, where the extended lineup (mostly bishoujo game figures) is also detailed.

kozue arine is a cute figure. no more.
Those figures seems to each come with some kind of gimmick.

Those labeled lighting figure I’m guessing they have the light-up stands, and there’s one with double costume… but I wonder what that other one (Kozue Arine?) comes with… the straw mattes maybe? I wonder if it will come with the wooden furnitures too :P
Yeah, the ones labeled “lighting” come with the special light-equipped base, and Arine comes with the mats and the furniture as well.
While the Hata Seika and Kozue Arine are nice, I’d have to give my vote to Yuria Hyaku-shiki as my favourite of the line-up. Shame I know nothing of any of these characters. I was looking to buy that manga Yuria is in, but wasn’t sure if I should. Do you know if it’s any good, Shingo?
I picked up the first couple volumes but I can’t really recommend it; it’s the story of a sex-crazed robotic love doll trying to seduce a guy who’s already in a relationship, only he’s too damn nice to reject her advances outright. A pretty frustrating read. Good if you like ecchi manga, I suppose.
