After seeing the prototype Jon posted earlier this month, I found myself falling in love with Kotobukiya's latest Xecty Ein from Shining Wind. Getting a glimpse at the final product has me even more excited, though I admit that I prefer her original outfit just a tad more. Still, the uniform looks very sharp, and Kotobukiya rarely disappoints me when it comes to quality.

It's figures like these that make me wish that Sega would keep releasing the Shining series stateside, but I suppose that's just wishful thinking and I'll just have to settle for the lovely figures they keep pumping out instead. If you're interested in picking her up, pre-orders have started over at Hobby Search for about $71, and I'd say she's more than worth the price. It's just a shame that you'll have to wait until March for her.
