Preview: Alter x Hobby Japan's 1/8 Goto Matabei

Alter in a collaboration with Hobby Japan is going to release the Goto Matabei 1/8 PVC figure from the light novel/anime Hyakka Ryoran. This figure is approximately 300mm in height and will be released in May 2011 around 8,190 yen. It's also a Hobby Japan's mail order exclusive.

It's always been a pain in the ass to know such a beautiful figure to be an exclusive item. And sometimes its method to order is way too complicated for us who live outside Japan. I'm just getting tired of it. -_-!

For me, this character is way to ordinary to become an exclusive figure. Anyway, Goto Matabei still could be a must have figure for those who are interested in completing the whole Hyakka Ryoran's girl rosters. I can only hope that she will be just like Hattori Hanzo who isn't only got the exclusive, but also the regular version as well.

For those who are interested in buying this figure, you need to buy the Hobby Japan monthly magazine Vol.12 2010 or Vol.1 2011 and then fill in the order form that comes with the magazine and mail it back to Hobby Japan.
