Seen earlier at the previous Wonder Festival is Mishiro Akatsuki - the first figure in a series of box sets from Goodsmile and Red Entertainment.
The box sets contains two original drama CDs, illustrations and a figure that comes in a huge box to take up more space.

This 1/8 scale of Mishiro went up for preorder recently and features what seems to be semi-cast off features as you can see from the images.
Akatsuki is out this September and will retail for 4,800 yen.
Images from AmiAmi.
Pre-order at your fave online retailer.

Aparently in the figure industry, one needs to sell at least 3000 units to make a profit on a figure that retails for about 5000 yen. Th initial batch of this figure is 5000 units so it looks like they expect it to sell well.

She's as well in the top 3 of my wishlist, just after Fasalina and Alicia ^^;

Love the pose, the hair and the "destroyed" clothes are a great option hehe.

I like the pose a lot, it's very dynamic. The facial expression seems to be done very well and the "destroyed" clothes look good.
I must say that the hair looks a weird indeed, but it's acceptable ;p
I might consider buying it.

Well, overall the figure look very good. But i dun seem to like the face expression a lot when i view her closed up picture in moeyo. A bit off compared to the anime pictures. I am more excited about the next 2 releases from the same anime: meifeng and the other girl(forget name) figure. Seen their prototype pictures and they look great and better than akatsuki. Another reason for not getting her would be E2046 are coming up with new gathering ori products and i am reserving my money for that.

Bit of a cliché anime figure, can count in double figures how many sailor school girl with a katana. At least she's extremely well made. ^^;

Radiant in Vancouver Canada
It's already sold out at Toyslogic and Hobbysearch. Seems like this one is going to be in VERY high demand.

Why does it look like there are two versions? One with torn clothes, one without?
(ID #50179) Posted on 2007/06/22 16:07
There are probably interchangable parts for the kit.

But I find it somewhat surprising that hobbysearch have already filled up their preorders even though a fair few of the other vendors haven't even put it up for order yet...

When I first saw her I laughed at her hair and didn't give her a 2nd thought. But when I realized I was going to end up owning all the Shuraki except her so I decided to get her (after all she was only $44 which is way less compared to the rest). She is now one of my favorite figures. I LOVE her swords and I just can't get over how pretty her face is. Her pose is awesome too. The hair? I no longer see it as ugly instead I just think it's unique and adore it too.
