ALTAiR (Alter) is going to release the Natsume Takashi (夏目 貴志) 1/8 PVC figure from the manga/anime “Natsume Yujincho” ( 夏目友人帳 ). Will be released in July 2010. Around 180mm tall (included base), 6,800 yen. Amiami and Animate exclusive.
You can order her here
A really good news for those Natsume Takashi fans, this Natsume Takashi figure is cheap! With a fancy base and the cat like this, I thought he was gonna cost over 10,000 yen but he isn’t! 6,800 yen is a steal. But come to think of it, if Alter can only charge 6,800 yen for this figure, why did they charge us the same 6,800 yen for the other simple figures like Ilfa and Kataoka Yuki? =/
Well anyway, for those who missed the “coming soon” post this week, “ALTAiR” is a new figure line up of Alter. Trying to target the female figure collectors, they will mainly focus on male figures (BL figures too?)
Update: I forgot to mention that this Natsume Takashi figure is Amiami and Animate exclusive.

Maybe they use the low price to lure those “new target” into the infinity loops of figure collecting and then suck their wallet dry later, hmmm such an evil scheme…
Probably…Always make the first ones cheap get your customer hooked then you can bump up the price…Drug Dealer selling tactics work every time I tells ya! >_>
Amiami win big this time with this figure ^__^
That price… makes me soooooo tempted! I think I can hold back though D:
didn’t know he was exclusive O___O”
I hope they don’t do that for future releases.
good thing that AmiAmi has their english site though! I already ordered 2 this morning. ^3^
ordered 2? Both for yourself?
…yeah ‘____’ “”
it’s my first time to buy two of something (at least it’s not 3 O.O”).
ah, does it make me look greedy? Natsume is one of my most favorite anime characters EVER, and since this is technically an exclusive, he might get pricy later on.
I also think this might be the first time I got so happy and all over a figure ^^”
But sadly theres no discount, >< was hoping there would be 10%~ish.
Those of you ordered this figure, how many are female collectors? I enjoyed the series and do think this is a nice figure but I don’t get the urge to own one ^^;
I haven’t ordered yet, waiting on other sites to put it up. But I’m a female figure/anime/manga collector.
AH, just read about it being an exclusive, guess this will be my first AmiAmi order.
Believe it or not, according to the Alexa report, the male:female visitor ratio is around 6:5 in Nekomagic.
Maybe I should start a poll for it tonight.
Cool, I hope new Alter’s line up prove to be successful. We could all use some badass/cool male character figures.
i am a female collector of this. but i got hook on the water more than natsume. black paint got stuck on his white shirt 🙁
I’m so glad that figure companies are starting to realize the fact that fangirls will but figures too!
