Banpresto’s Kizaki Emi Preview

November 7, 2008

emi

More at GA Graphic.

There’s good and bad news on this. The good news is that Hobby Search takes pre-order for these Arcade Prizes. The bad news is that most of the time they will not notify you guys that the items are up for pre-orders, unlike other PVCs. For example is the Hatsune Miku & Kagamine Twins Arcade Prize. In the end, I missed out on both of them because I didn’t know ( > _ < );

So you have to watch out for those if you’re planning to get one ( ^ _ ^ );

As one would think, this figure of Fate will be big!! So expect an estimate of 30-35cm in height for her ^^; I have the feeling she’ll be up for pre-order anytime soon, together with Yoko Sniper Look~ ( ^ _ ^ )
