Kotobukiya has unveiled three sexy hyper cute Ani-Statues from the smash hit Toradora! and Bakemonogatori anime series and the popular Mizuiro game.  The first to be released in North America in December is the Toradora! Taiga Aisaka Ani Statue (MSRP $69.99).  The ten-inch (1/6th scale) figure of the beautiful but antisocial Taiga Aisaka is dressed in a black school girl uniform with thigh high black stockings and blue shoes.  Sculpted by former garage kit dealer and star of the Wonder Festival 2010 Okamoto Dou Noa Sakura, this figure has the tsundere face that moe fans will adore along with the ample zettai ryoiki, the “absolute territory” between her skirt and stockings.   Seven Seas is publishing the first volume of the Toradora! manga in March of 2011, and the 25-episode anime series is being released this summer by anime newcomer NIS (see “Seven Seas Acquires 3 New Manga”).

 

The other anime-inspired statue is Bakemonogatori: Mayoi Hachikuji Ani Statue (MSRP $69.99), which is due in North America in January.  Sculpted by Koei Matsumoto, the ghost girl Mayoi statue stands 7.5 inches tall (1/8th scale) and features lots of great details including a band-aid on her knee, embroidered flowers on her skirt, a bracelet, headband, and leafy hair decorations.

 

The third figure unveiled this week is Mizuiro: Yuki Katase Ani-Statue ($79.99), a 6.5 inch (1/7th scale) figure of Yuki Katase, the heroine of the popular game Mizuiro and the mascot of the Nekoneko brand.  The figure includes removable cat ears, a tail, and cat’s paw shoes along with a 40 mm scale Mecha Shindo mini figure.  The sexy Yuki Katase figure will be released in December.
