MAG Oboro Muramasa: Momohime 1/6 Scale Figure - Reissue Import

Alter is re-releasing the Momohime figure in November 2012.
 
 NCS Product Synopsis (2009)
 «©NCSX» In the Oboro Muramasa game, a kunoichi named Momohime and a ninja named Kisuke were the agents of destruction in a side scrolling platform action game. Momohime had style, speed, and deft sword handling skills which she used to chop down flighty ninja foes. Kisuke was cool too but Momohime cut a more presentable silhouette. 

    Alter pays homage to Momohime with a pretty 1/6 scale figure which measures 21cm or 8.26" tall. Momo's color scheme mixes pink and blue with two stalks of fuchsia which cover her lower legs. We're somewhat leery of the one-foot-pose because some of our Alter figures on display have a tendency to lean and falter to the effects of gravity.

    Preorders are welcome to ship in November 2012 at JPY7800 or US$109.90.
