Further coverage of yesterday’s Hobby Complex 02 is in today from GA Graphic, which reports on two new PVC kits coming from Orchid Seed: the first is Metis, the FES-exclusive Persona 3 character, with a sculpt from Ishinaga Sakurako (Google cache). The second is Sherisu, the protagonist of eroge and eroanime Ma ga Ochiru Yoru. This is a PVC version of an [ERO] resin kit that came out at Wonder Festival 2007 Summer under the auspices of Kill Time Communication, with a sculpt from Tako Tomoyuki. Price and release information are yet forthcoming, but we’ll be keeping an eye on both as production advances. Castoff Sherisu shots below:

Original Metis design:
metis has no legs?
I’m not familiar with the mechanics of the androids in Persona 3, but Metis seems similar to Aegis in the way her legs look. The kit is still in the midst of being sculpted and could be incomplete, though; someone more familiar with the Metis design will have to testify as to whether that’s how she looks in the game.
Edit: yeah, that sculpt seems pretty accurate.
Metis has a very beautiful character design, but since she’s only in the shorter segment of the updated game, I’m not so sure she is very popular among Persona 3 fans, it’s very surprising to me that she’s getting a mass-produced PVC treatment. The pvc sculpt looks great for her.
I like the Sherisu, but I’m already imagining a fairly high yen price…
Love Metis. I wasn’t able to pick up Aegis yet but I hope to get her before I get Metis to match.
