Just a few days ago we got the scoop on Hobby Japan's 1/8 scale Ivy figure, and now you can order it through proxy buyer extraordinaire Tokyo Hunter.
This figure seems to have really great flow and a nice sculpt, giving Ivy the fine body that she deserves along with some really great detailed armor. However, I wish her expression brought forth a little more of her crazy/evil/haughty personality from the games. Still, it would be great to have as my only Ivy figure is quite small.
You do have to pay a little extra for proxy services, bringing the price to ¥9,500. A bit heavy, but worth it for Ivy fans, and more so considering her exclusivity. Pre-orders will be taken until June 10, and the figure releases in October.

E3 is going on right now (as this goes live, Sony's press conference is one hour away), so it's only fitting that Custom Made Monday dives into some video game customs this week! Well, we did last week, too, also using E3 as ...
