BEAT is going to release the Amaha Collection No.4 Wind Goddess Rafale ( 風女神 ラファール ) 1/6 PVC figure from the original character designed by Minatogawa Amaha ( 湊川あまは ). Will be released in September 2009. Around 280mm tall, 7,000 yen.
Thank you BEAT, finally we have some figures are NOT Wonder Festival 2009 [Summer] related today! Since Wonder Festival 2009 [summer] is around the corner (July 26th, 2009), most of the figure manufacturers are so busy to promote their WF2009[summer] exclusive figures. There for most of the news these days are WF related and lots of them are GK.
I don’t know much about Minatogawa Amaha and I don’t even know he has his own “Amaha Collection” thing at all. This Rafale looks really nice to me and the price is really attractive for a 1/6 scale figure. But I never own any PVC figure from BEAT, I wonder how good is the quality of them.

Yea don’t own any Beat figures either so I can’t attest to their quality sadly…Interesting looking figure though.
Interesting to say the minimum,but if she were total castoffable would be impressive.Why don`t they just do it ?It would be an instantaneous bestseller.I would buy three,just in case they did!
I think the bra is castoff. I have Amaha’s other figures and Beat does a pretty good job of them
