First off were figures from the Yaoi series Lamento. If you have to ask what Yaoi is, then these figures aren't for you. Konoe and Asato are both 7" tall and come with removable accessories. Each figure comes with a stand and an exclusive Japanese audio drama cd. The CD stores in the base of the stand, a nice touch.

Up next is the cute and sexy Mirei-San statue. Mirei-San comes from the mind of the famous illustrator Shunya Yamashita. The figure is 7.5 inches tall and comes with changeable hair, hands and removable high heels. This figure will come in a white and black version.

The bread and butter of Kotobukiya's offerings was their Star Wars vinyl model line. Each of these is highly detailed representations of key characters in the star wars saga. The figures are 12 1/2" tall and pre-painted, all you have to do is put them together. P2113316 The most exciting announcement for this line was that Kotobukiya is doing a set of figures inspired by the famous Ralph McQuarrie concept art!
