Takako Kinoshita
Pia Carrot fans out there are in for a treat this December when Wafudo release their 1/8 scale figure of Takako Kinoshita. As usual there is only a limited amount of these fully painted figures and some places have even stopped taking reservations. If you do manage to get one, you are looking at about 6,000 yen.
This is figure was originally released as a garage kit which you had to put together and paint yourself but due to the Akibakei / Moe boom sweeping Japan, these garage-kit-turn-fully-painted releases are cropping up everywhere - and a good thing too ;-)
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.
