Earlier today we took a look at the opening for Persona 4 The Golden and tonight up pops a pre-order for a figure of Rise Kujikawa from Wave’s Beach Queen line of figures. The line is dedicated to producing cheap figures of popular characters in bathing suits and while they aren’t exactly the highest quality figures, they are a good choice for fans who want a decent figure of their favorite characters in bathing suits for a fair price.
Rise will run you 3100 Yen at Ami-Ami and should be released in late November.
Closing in on its Japanese release date, Persona 4: The Golden reveals its opening video. Like Persona 3: Portable, this game features a new video with a different song.
The game comes out June 14th on Japanese Vitas, and October 23rd on American Vitas.
Persona 4 fans. Now is your day if you love Yukiko Amagi as figures of both her and her Persona Konohana Sakuya have gone up for order. She’s a fantastic looking figure and Konohana Sakuya looks absolutely stunning. I have the Izanagi in this line and if that is any indication then this persona is going to be one of the better figures coming this year. Yukiko is scheduled for release in August with Konohana Sakuya coming in July.
Pre-Order Yukiko at AmiAmi for 5990 Yen or Otacute for $83.90
Pre-Order Konohana Sakuya at AmiAmi for 7500 Yen or Otacute for $105.50
If you like toys it’s definitely been a great time to be a Persona fan. The recent explosion in figures thanks to the anime has led to some really exciting things. We’ve seen the Nendoroid Yukiko before but sometimes it’s nice to get a nice and simple gallery that gives you a look at all the details put into this thing. I’m just going to share a few shots of the Akiba Hobby sample gallery and let you guys click through to see the other 37. I know I can’t wait to have her hanging out alongside Jack Frost on my mantle.
Stupid freaking Bandai… releasing Yukiko as part of your Persona 4 line and once again MAKING THE FIGURE A FREAKING EXCLUSIVE… God I hate the way you sell toys… Limited runs on One Piece figures and then making all your P4 stuff exclusive so you have to pay for a proxy to get it. It’s annoying as hell and I’m frustrated enough to pass on this, especially since the sculpt is boring as hell compared to what Megahouse is doing (and doing without making it exclusive more than likely) -
