Kotobukiya is going to release the Hachikuji Mayoi ( 八九寺真宵 ) 1/8 PVC figure figure from the light novel/anime “Bakemonogatari” ( 化物語 ). Will be released in November 2010. Around 180mm tall, 6,800 yen.
I love you Kotobukiya! This Hachikuji Mayoi is so cute and so affortable! I like Mayoi a lot. Beside the one from MOVIC, there aren’t any full scale Mayoi PVC figure yet. And I don’t like the MOIVC one so this one is so much win!
DVD cover (2P color)
But I as most of you know, I don’t like 2P color. This Mayoi is using the 2P, DVD cover, color and I really want the usual 1P color. Should I wait and hope for Kotobukiya release the original color or should I just go for this one? =/
Btw, the snail shadow on the base is removable.

Eh? This is 2P??? o.O
Looks a shade darker/matted but otherwise, lolicious!
Yes, the 1P color is blue! X(
pretty cute, i sortve like the base. the plastic thingy under her foot is less noticeable *kinda*
is so cute, I usually don’t buy girls like this but im going to pre order
Oh shi- I want this! 😀
Very cute!
If I were you’d I’d go ahead and buy this one and then if a 1P color comes out sell this one and buy the 1P color.
More of a better safe then sorry situation.
Soooo cute <3
Do want!
btw I’d prefer the original color
DO WANT.
I like Mayoi, but… her legs/feet are so wrong! >___< like how the hell is she posing that way?
Well i hate the stance on the MOVIC one. So i’m pretty sure i’ll buy this.
I love Mayoi but I also prefer 1P color..
i haven’t seen this anime yet. i really need to so i know what you guys are talking about. i’m not a fan of the pose tho. it’s one legged and ner foot is tilted up. makes me wonder if she’s warp and fall over over the warm summer season. :/
People don’t seem to get the fact that she’s supposed to be in motion. Noticed this on the other figure as well.
i think most of us understand that. it doesn’t mean it looks good or practical for displays.
