Wave announces Kuma figure, better known as Teddie, From Persona 4

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 agree that we need some male figures. Would definitely like one of Naoto but REALLY want one of the adorable Kanji. XD But I'll settle for a Teddie figure, especially at that price tag!

And look at how cute he is in mid-stride. Needs a button to make his walking sound. =D
I would shell out major cash for main character/Yousuke/Kanji myself ugh they should just bring out the whole cast! :O

it maybe small but it's totally worth getting :D Now I wait for a Jack frost figure.

Thats tiny! That would look great on top of my silver PS2.
I didn't know that Teddie's name was Kuma in the Japanese version of the game. That's interesting.

Ya, I would rather have it in a bigger size, but since I wasn't able to get the plush, I think I'm going to order it.

And ya, I would totally pay for figures of all the Persona 4 characters. They are all so great, especially my Naoto :)
I want this so bad @.@ My cards officially need to get cleared off so I can order more awesome stuff like this! -- Why Teddie! Why did you have to come out now?! XD
Awww. I was hoping his head came off. He's really adorable, though!
$25 is a bit much for such a tiny figure, but I think I need him. :>
I hear there's version's A,B, and the regular version at the Atlus store.. :O maybe there's a difference?
@Aiya, Do you mean on the Japanese Atlus website?
Only thing that could make this better was if the head came off ;)
@Garison yeah it's on that amazing website :( Who knows there might be a version where you pop off the top of his head.
I can't tell you how much i wish there wasn't a fucking dude in that suit.

Nendoroid Hatsune Miku 2.0 is ready to go

Tomopop Review: Kotobukiya's Tekken Bishoujo Lili

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. Read on to see what I mean!
