Toycom is currently taking orders for a new 6-inch PVC statue of the gorgeous Mizuho from the popular Please Teacher (Onegai Teacher) anime and manga series.  Unlike Toycom's first Mizuho figure, which was done in resin, the new fully painted PVC figure is much more affordable thanks to a $24.95 msrp.  The fact that Mizuho is posed in a bikini for the new figure certainly shouldn't hurt either, especially since it recalls the key scene in which student Kei Kusanagi discovers just how hot his teacher is, and reacts with a sudden nosebleed (nosebleeds are a symbol of arousal in anime) before lapsing into unconsciousness.

 

A sequel of sorts to Onegai Teacher, Onegai Twins, is currently airing in Japan so this property should be around for a while.  With a very popular series of anime DVDs from Bandai, the equally hot Onegai Teacher manga from Comicsone, and a variety of resin (and now PVC) figures available, this property present retailers with lots of merchandising possibilities.
