TOYS Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls Yagyu Jubei - Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Yagyuu Jubei Mitsuyoshi is a legendary samurai whose life and times have been chronicled and fictionalized by numerous written works, manga, and television series. Jubei is a male figure (trust us, we checked) from Japanese history but in Samurai Girls, Jubei has become an attractive ginger with big eyes, an attractive figure, and a sassy attitude. She also has a thick length of braided white rope attached to her back and a pair of thinner braided ropes which encircle her thighs.

   The Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls Yagyu Jubei figure measures 23cm or 9.05" in height and is constructed of pre-painted PVC. Yagyu is fixed-pose and grasps two swords which she thrusts out in front of her. Two black scabbards are affixed to the sides of her thighs to ensure that the blades have a resting place when the moment of antagonism has passed. Yagyu's outfit is pink and red so she looks like a flower. Sort of.

   Preorders are welcome to ship in July 2011 at JPY6800 or US$100.90 from NCS. Due to the size of the figure, NCS recommends only shipping by UPS Ground within the United States to avoid onerous air-service charges.
