What is White Album, you ask? Well, first it was a visual novel, and then it was adapted into a manga and an anime series. It follows the adventures of two female idols, Yuki Morikawa and Rina Ogata, who are both members of the Ogata Productions agency. I had already noticed Good Smile Company had announced the Yuki figure (in fact, it's up for preorder at Hobby Search already), but when I saw Mikatan's blog this morning I realized Rina was on the way too. Is it just me or does she remind you a bit of Asuka Langley?
Yuki retails for about $64 and is due out in December, and while Rina's preorders have not been announce dyet, I'd suspect her price and release date to be similar. These twofigures are actually based on an original illustration, which you can see in the gallery. I find them pretty, but since I have never played/seen anything from White Album I will likely pass on them. Anyone else familiar with the game or series that would recommend it?
