ALTAiR's Orihara Izaya really wants to be with youEarlier today ALTAiR updated its blog to announce the re-release of Durarara's!! infamous information broker, Orihara Izaya. Wearing his trademark black hooded jacket, Izaya may be posed holding a switchblade or his black cellphone. The sculpt is nicely done along with the movement of his jacket, which gives the figure an engaging dynamic look. I love that smirking expression he's sporting, which perfectly captures that trollish side of his. Just a quick glance at his eyes and you can see Izaya is up to no good. As a fan of the series, I am extremely excited to see Izaya getting a second release, although I personally wouldn't mind if ALTAiR added some of the other characters (Mikado and Kida) to the line, as well. Izaya's pre-order is set to open tonight at the regular scheduled (store update) time. Ikebukuro's number one troll is set for a December release with a retail price of ¥6,800. Any Tomopeeps thinking of snagging Izaya this time around?
