Figma Shana Finalized!!

October 5, 2008

shana

The final coloured version of Figma Shana by Max Factory is finally on display during recent GSC event at Akihabara ^^ Another good news is that she’s scheduled for December 2008 release at 2,500 Yen retail price.

One thing that surprised me is that I didn’t expect them to make Shana’s hair translucent just like her PVC counterpart. I was expecting solid colour.

Good Job Max!!
