The Europeans always seem to get games and gear last, whether it be consoles such as the Playstation 3 or the Final Fantasy titles.

By the way, that's 3 months after the USA version which was released in March.

Ikkitousen: Kanu Unchou Nure Seifuki DX - Import Preorder

Xenosaga III KOS-MOS Ver. 4 - Import Preorder

Alter by way of Beagle has announced a reproduction of the popular KOS-MOS Ver. 4 figure which was originally released in December 2007 at JPY6800. The figure is based on KOS-MOS' turn in Xenosaga Episode III. Akin to the first figure from Alter, KOS-MOS' hair is a translucent blue color that trails away from her head with wild abandon.

Her armor is a mix of lingerie, garters, and metal plates which leave little to the imagination. On the weapon side of things, KOS' right hand hefts a nine-barrel Gatling gun which is almost as tall as she is. The figure is set to 1/8 scale and measures 21cm (8.26") tall. The sculpture is by Yagyu Toshiyuki and we consider ver. 4 to be something of a masterwork. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late Nov 2008.
