Kotobukiya's Clalaclan maid 1/8th PVC statue

The Shining series has produced many lovely figures over the years. It's a shame that the latest title in the series never saw the light of day here. I suppose I can understand why Sega may have hesitated to bring it state-side, seeing as the game was released during the end of the PS2 life-cycle. Of course, that hasn't stopped us from buying the figures, and with good reason, they're all quite exquisite. Kotobukiya never really fails to dissapoint me when it comes to this license, and I'm sure you can see why.

This version of Clalaclan in particular, is incredibly cute. Her maid outfit is well detailed, from the bows and frills, to the folds of her apron. I was also impressed with her eyes--the color is rather striking. The pose isn't quite as suggestive ast the Noire version, but I don't really mind that at all. It's a sweet figure and I'm sure it'll make any collector happy. She'll run you about $69.99, but I'd say she's worth it. Kotobukiya is currently taking pre-orders here.
