Re-release of Kotobukiya 1/8 ToP figures

[Tsukino]

I know a lot of people here probably remember the 20cm cold cast figures Kotobukiya made of Arche and Mint a while back.  Personally, I've had about zero luck finding the Arche one for a few years now.

Well, Kotobukiya is re-releasing the models as PVC figures for only ¥4200, so anyone who wants one can now get them (though not of the same materials).  There's also a figure of Tear, apparently.

The Arche one can be seen here, Mint here, and Tear here.

I still want to find the cold cast Arche figure, just because I've been looking for it for so long, but the only "success" I ever had with that was finding out that a store in Toronto that won't ship to the US (where I live currently) has one. 

Edit: I know they probably announced this a long time ago, but I didn't see any mention of it here, so I thought someone might not know.

I didn't know that. I might have to get a PVC Arche. I bought the Mint cold cast statue about a year and a half ago. I had to pay $180 for her, but even now that there is a much cheaper version I am still glad I bought the cold cast version because she is beautiful. I still remember how I felt when I first played the DeJap translation and Cless found her in the prison all alone with her mother in the next cell. Games don't tug at my heart, but Tales of Phantasia ripped it out in that moment. That is why I paid $180 for the Mint statue. Thanks for the info about the re-release. I may even want to get the PVC version just to have in case anything ever happened to the cold cast one. What Tales game was Tear in? If she's in Abyss, I haven't played it. But it's on preorder at GameStop and I look forward to it.

If I had that much money, I might spend it on a figurine.
