UART is going to release the Collectible Cold Cast “C Cube” series Ryomou Shimei ( 呂蒙子明 ) DVD Box Illustration Ver. ( DVDBOX描き下ろしVer. ) 1/7 cold cast GK from the manga/anime Ikkitousen ( 一騎当千 ). Will be released in March 2010, 8,800 yen.
What? This Ryomou Shimei GK is only selling for 8,800 yen? I wonder how they can keep up with the cost. Anyway, for those who don’t know UArt, it’s a figure production house localed in Hong Kong that manufacture figures for the other companies. I checked out their homepage and found that all of the figures from Resinya! were manufutured by them. And the funnest thing is I also found all of the figures for Wani Books that claimed to be manufactured by Good Smile Company were actually manufactured by UART. Maybe GSC outsouced to them?

Haha GSC is distributor after all 😛 IMO, if figures actually shipped from China (where they are manufactured) directly to the rest of the world, their price can be actually much cheaper. Take for example Triad Toys products (they usually produced 12″ action figures). Dunno why their product prices in Japan is approx. double the prices in Malaysia, for instance
Wow, this GK looks great. Pity I don’t have the handiness to actually build one. 😀
Ryo’s look pretty badass there…
Whoa! Must have!
Whenever the PVC version hits, its mine!
