I find the timing on the arrival of this figure amusing. Yesterday, I was having a conversation with Eva about how I would shell out major cash to have figures of any of the male cast from Persona 4, especially Yosuke, Naoto and Teddie. This morning, I wake up and find an email in my inbox from the eternally incredible Aiya telling me that Hobby Search has opened preorders for a "Kuma" figure -- in other words, Teddie (Kuma was the name used for the character in the Japanese version of the game).
Wave scooted just that much further into my good graces due to this figure, which is due out in August and retails for about $24. If you're wondering why the price is so reasonable, Teddie measures in at about 3.5 inches, so he's only about the size of a trading figure. While I would have preferred a 1/7 scale figure of him, I'm not complaining -- just glad I can have him on my toy shelf!
[Thanks, Stella!]

I haven't played a lot of Tekken games in my life, but I am enjoying Kotobukiya's Tekken Bishoujo figures. Overall, it's a solid line of figures. The latest one to arrive is Emilie de Rochefort, otherwise known as Lili. This figure has its unique charms, as I was pleased to discover during the review process.
