This new 1/8 scale figure of “Himeji Mizuki” from Baka to Test to Shokanju, will be available this coming August 2010 by Penguin Parade for 7,800 Yen retail price. Hobby Search is taking reservations for her as of today.
Hmmm~ ( ^ _ ^ )

Wow, talk about taking the good with the bad…
The chibi is perfect, the big figure? Not so much.
Her face’s shape is off, it also seems somewhat off-coloured in one cheek. The legs against one another may be a general show of “I’m ditzy/shy”, but it doesn’t really fit what her top half is doing.
And let’s be honest, I’m sick of those plasticky skirts… all those figures seem to have the exact same skirts copied between one another!
I’ll hit eBay for the chibi.

Something is really compelling with this figure… I don’t know what. But that’s just not enough to get me to buy her… 7800Y? For such a simple sculpt & pose? She looks like a generic schoolgirl to me.
I’m kinda getting scared. If GSC prices such a simple figure as this one for such a high price, god knows what they’ll price the extremely detailed figures like the upcoming BRS sets…

Well, the manufacturer is Penguin Parade, not GSC right? The big figure isn’t that nice looking, especially in the face. More manufacturers need to make bakatest figures though!

Ah! My fault. It is infact manufactured by Penguin Parade; I saw it on GSC’s site and just assumed it was by them… D’oh!
Wait… if it’s manufactured by Penguin Parade- we can assume that the tiny figure that comes along isn’t a nendoroid puchi either.
