For those who may not be as into watching figure skating as I happen to be, you may not have heard of Mao Asada. Let's get you up to speed! She's a phenomenal 21 year old figure skater from Japan, who won the silver medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics, and actually got a Guinness World Record for having performed the most triple axels in competition.

This leads us to the incredible Digital Grade Master Mao Asada PVC figure that is a Premium Bandai Exclusive. You can now pre-order her through Tokyo Hunter for what looks like a July release. She'll cost you ¥11,800, which might seem a bit pricey, but gosh she looks gorgeous! It's spot on in her resemblance, and if I had the cash I'd totally throw it down for this. If you're interested, I'd go ahead and hurry on those pre-orders before she skates away.
