This is a super do want. I don't think I've ever wanted a figure as badly as this. Jack Frost is the mascot of videogame company Atlus, who make those awesome Shin Megami Tensei titles! In those, Jack Frost is not only an enemy monster, but he is very easily recruited. And adorable! Now thanks to manufacturer Art Storm, I can own him!
The figure stands up at 230mm. Simple math conversion tells me that's about nine inches? The sale price says he costs 5,505 yen. In USD, that's about sixty dollars. Of course the retail price is ten dollars higher than that, but this site still has their sale going on.
I doubt there is a Megaten game I've played without Jack Frost in my party. I've played nearly all the English releases and some of the Japanese ones. They're among the best RPGs ever. If you liked RPGs as a kid and hate the crappy direction RPGS have gone in, try out Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne and Persona 3 -- they are two of the best I ever played. This Jack Frost figure comes out Summer 2010, and I can't wait.
Having this Jack Frost sitting on my TV while I play these games would make me so happy.
