H2O Footprints in the Sand: Hayami Kohinata 1/8 Scale PVC Figure by Good Smile Company.

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! Join the FATE characters as they fight the Holy Grail War - a series of battles among powerful sorcerers to fight for the possession of a relic that will grant one's wishes. Based on the wildly popular Anime and visual novel Game series (an amazing 150,000 copies of this doujin game have been sold) FATE/STAY NIGHT and FATE/ HOLLOW ATARAXIA! But you can't fight the Grail War all of the time! Join SAKURA MATOU as she takes a well earned vacation, and catches some rays at the beach. Sakura is approximately 5 inches tall (in her kneeling position) as has been sculpted for by Tigel. FATE publisher TYPE MOON continues to praise KOTOBUKIYA's work on this series, saying that the figures are "detailed and perfect"!

Celebrate the brand new anime series IKKI TOUSEN: DRAGON DESTINY begins this month on Japanese TV with a gorgeous pvc figure from the original series, which was released in the US by Geneon (as Ikki Tousen DVDs) and TokyoPop (as Battle Vixens manga). The series is famous for being packed with action and fan service, much of it concerning the main character SONSAKU HAKUFU, who is frequently portrayed in a sexy light. Sonsaku is featured here, as she often is in the anime, with loose socks, a short skirt, exposed panties, and a tight sweater. Oh, and she’s also holding a combat sword, and posed on a base that is a replica of the magatama – a jewel that is one of the Three Sacred Treasures of the Japanese Imperial Family. Sculpted by Yuu Nakashima, this piece measures almost 9 inches tall (1/8th scale), and comes ready for display right out of its Japanese language window box packaging.
