[Figurine]

Yet another nice figurine by Kotobukiya, the maid ver of Yuzuhara Konomi is sculpted by Masato Abe and stands at a height around 19cm. Imo, I would find it nicer if the posture does not involve the lifting of her dress -.-. Nevertheless, still elegant on the overall. I am wondering if the hair band is detachable. hmm…anyway, here are the general stats for this figurine… (stats…sheez)

Manufacturer : Kotobukiya

• (ALL OF THE ABOVE) (3%, 4 Votes)

Heh…I am amused some people chose Total Otaku Fandom (lol), either they mean it or they are being funny ;P. Anyway, most people imo would go for the “1st level” support for their favorite anime which involves buying of magazines and those who can afford will be going for the figurines.

The next poll involves a survey which will most likely allow me to have a rough idea if i should increase Anime Banzai!’s width. Please select the most appropriate option for the your screen resolution’s width.

the unrefined ver?

[PS2]
Official Site: http://www.alchemist-net.co.jp/products/higurashi_matsuri
Title: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Matsuri: Kakera Asobi (ひぐらしのなく頃に祭 カケラ遊び,)
Platform: Playstation 2
Release Date: 20th Dec 2007

Dengeki Online reports that Higurashi Matsuri: Kakera Asobi will get a better refined ver of the OP on the PS2. I am pretty much confused by what they meant by a refined version (or maybe I misinterpreted the article :P ). Regardless of that, Kakera Asobi is an append disc or rather “extras” section for the original Higurashi Matsuri which was released in Feb this year that enhance and “enrich” the Higurashi Matsuri gameplay, the original contents of the story remains the same. However, a standalone version of the full game is available as well.

Kakera Asobi Append ver will retail for 4179 yen while the standalone will retail at 7329yen. Both are slated for a release on 20th Dec 07.
