This Volks 1/8-Scale Kirameki Yoko Box HJ Limited Version Resin Kit is a Hobby Japan mail order exclusive item. This guitar-strumming version of Yoko is based on the song called Pieces of Sweet Stars which is sung by Inoue Marina, who is the voice actress of Yoko in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
Kirameki Yoko Box will measure 10.5cm and will be available exclusively through mail order from 25th September onwards for 10,500 YEN ($105).
Also check out the Pieces of Sweet Stars song below. It’s got a catchy and playful vibe to it. Almost makes me wanna buy the kit.
Here’s another recent FSS kit from Volks, this one being an Injection Plastic (IP) kit of Vatshu The Black Knight. It being an IP kit means it will cost less than Volks’ FSS resin kit offerings at a more affordable 8,000 YEN ($80) and will be available next year.
We have a few updates today from Volks, starting with this 1/100-Scale High Spec Schpeltor K.O.G. from Mamoru Nagano’s much-loved FSS series. This nifty kit is available through Volks’ retail and online store in Japan, and was also available at the recently held Chara Hobby 2009 event (29th - 30th August).
The Tyte blog site here has more pictures of detailed parts breakdown of the kit, and for more official information and pictures, check out the product page from Volks here.
The Dollfie Dream (DD) Dynamite Yoko figure from Volks has just recently been released. Admittedly, most male figure and statue collectors aren’t big fans of Volks’ dolls, and I can understand why since these are more like dolls. But I have a feeling they’re slowly gaining new fans since Danny of Dannychoo.com has been featuring these on his site quite often ever since he was bitten by the “doll bug”.
From what I understand the Dynamite term in Volks’ Dollfie Dream line basically refers to a new body type with massive boobs. Hence the Dynamite reference..lol. And Yoko here would make the perfect candidate doncha think?
Not sure if Volks USA is still taking orders for it so if you’re interested in picking one up, your best bet would be to head over to Yahoo! Auctions Japan and go through a deputy service like Rinkya or Shopping Mall Japan. Dark Dollhouse has posted lots of pictures of the doll itself so be sure to head over if you’d like more pictures of this busty rifle-toting babe.
This Mature resin kit will be Volks‘ second figure from the King of Fighters XII series to be offered during the Hobby Round 2 event which will be held at Ikebukuro, Tokyo on 20th September 2009. The Elizabeth Blanctorche kit will be the other exclusive King of Fighters XII figure to be offered during this event. The finished kit will be 22cm tall and will retail for 10,500 YEN ($100).
Another one of Volks‘ Hobby Round 2 event exclusive figure kit, this one is of Elizabeth Blanctorche from King of Fighters XII. The finished kit will be 22cm tall and will retail for 10,500 YEN ($100).
This gorgeous resin kit of Xenosaga III’s KOS-MOS from Volks is a Chara Hobby 2009 & Hobby Round 2 event exclusive kit, and can only be ordered through these 2 events. A shame really, as this kit is absolutely jaw-droppingly impressive. KOS-MOS will be a huge kit as well, at 46cm since it’s in 1/4-Scale. The price? A wallet-busting 50,400 YEN ($500)! Nevertheless it’s easily one of the most impressive 3D representations of KOS-MOS from Namco’s famed Xenosaga games on the Playstation 2.
Here’s a Yoko Littner figure that will cost a pretty penny. That’s because it’s a resin kit (Not PVC Figure) which will be produced in extremely limited numbers and is a Volks retail & online shop exclusive. Kit will retail for 10,500 YEN ($100) but will be quite impossible to obtain if you don’t live in Japan.
The current issue of HobbyJapan has news of a new Injection Plastic (IP) kit of Five Star Stories’ The BANG from Volks. This will be welcome news for fans of this longtime series who find Volks’ resin kit offerings to be out of their budget as this new wave of IP kits from Volks will be much more affordable. Are you a fan of the series?
