This is the Yakumo Yukari GK that was released by Burivary System in WF2009[Summer]. Now Kotobukiya is going to release her in PVC version! =D It’s really hard to believe this is actually planned by Kotobukiya. At first I thought she is one of those Amiami project and manufactured by Kotobukiya. But in fact this is Kotobukiya’s project and they’re just using Amiami as a distributor. (for those who don’t know, in the Touhou copyright agreement, all Touhou stuff can only be sold at doujin event, doujin store, or online store)

So does that means there will be more and more Touhou figures coming from Kotobukiya and selling by Amiami in the future? =D

The Yokai responsible for so many abductions, Yukari Yakumo, makes the leap from the Touhou Project’s Perfect Cherry Blossom to the PVC figure world! Featuring amazing detail on the frills and ribbons of her distinctive dress, and posed so well it looks like she is gliding on air, Yukari is a must-have for Touhou fans!
