Hime from Princess Resurrection. The super sized scissors is very nice. Blonde hair and black dress blend very well, giving a elegant yet mysterious feel. I like the crown especially, very detailed. She shall be out in October 2008 at 6858 yen.

Verdict: You know I want her XD

Browsed through DannyChoo.com and saw him posting about a fake Kureha at Ebay. Given Kureha’s popularity and shortage of supplies, this has come to no surprised at all. I clicked through the Ebay link he gave and saw the auction for my very own eyes. Not only the hair colour is wrong, but the dress as well! And the face? Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! This is a Kureha who stares at people in surprise.

She is on sale for £12.95 from a seller in Hong Kong. The actual link on Ebay is:

Fake Kureha

Hope nobody actually thought this is the real thing and bought her? ^^”

After Aegis and Mitsuru, Alter is coming out with Elizabeth: another character from Persona3. As much as I like Persona3, I am only interested in Aegis, Mitsuru and Yukari. This Elizabeth figure should be great for her fans. Details seems good. She will be out in October 2008 at 5800 yen.

VERDICT: NOT FOR ME!

This Rei is supposedly the first figure from the Evangelion New Theatrical Version. Rei does look good in this figure. If there is any issues at all, will be her lying down pose, which may not satisfy every figure collector. For me, this is a must get for any Evangelion or Rei fans. She will be out in October 2008 at 5800 yen.

VERDICT: MUST-GET!
