Persona 3: Mitsuru Kirijo 1/7 Figure

In the Persona 3 video game, a brunette named Yukari Takeba and a redhead named Mitsuru Kirijo are the first two characters that the protagonist encounters. Yukari's an attractive girl but Mitsuru is in a whole other league by herself.

Kotobukiya apparently agrees and produces a 1/7 scale Mitsuru Kirijo fixed-pose figure that's sculpted by Kosuke Arai. The fiery-maned demon slayer wields a sword while a white holster is wrapped below her waist. Inside the holster is a gun which may be swapped with the sword. The Mitsuru figure measures 21cm (8.26") tall and a multi-function circular base is included for mounting, display purposes, and storing the accessories included in the package. Mitsuru wears a black skirt which may be doffed to reveal her lily-white dainties underneath. Preorders will ship today. New orders are welcome.

Revoltech Oruta Saber Figure

The Revoltech toy collection adds another member this summer with a rendition of Oruta Saber (aka Dark Saber) from Fate/Stay Night. The normal Saber persona normally wears a bright blue and silver outfit but Oruta Saber is evil/dark and wears goth hues. Contrasting her golden blonde locks is a black and navy colored armor ensemble which seemingly absorbs light.

Similar to other Revoltech toys, Oruta Saber measures 15cm or 5.90" tall and features Revolver Joints which allow for freedom of posing the figure. Once a joint is positioned, it'll ratchet into place and stay there until you change its position. Two swords are also included in the product packaging - a standard silver weapon and an ebon sword with crimson sigils.
