A few days ago, HOBBYSTOCK japan released info about a new figure from Kotobukiya. It became the target of interest of many fans instantly - it's Marisa Kirisame from the Touhou series. She looks very nice and it's one of very few figures from Touhou (from what I remember, all that are available are resin kits or custom made ones, and usually only available in Japan). The question has arisen - will it be available also for international customers? Hobbystock only ships to Japan, so if you want to buy it from them, you would have to use a proxy service. But since Kotobukiya is a large figure company that releases everything for international shops too, there is a probability that it will soon be available on other shops too (like hlj or hobbysearch), that do international shipping.

I certainly hope so, because I would get it immediately - even though the price is 7500 yen (~55 euro). Anyway, since the release date is December 2009, we can still hope. Also, Toylet is already offering it for preorder - but for a ridiculous price of 130$. I understand why, but I hope this will not be the only way of getting her.

Oh yeah, also, the star which she sits on is actually a light! Nice one.
