Organic Hobby, a Japanese figure distributor, has decided that they are going to lay down some sex upon the American market, and they’re crazy enough to do it at Japanese retail prices. At least, that’s what the press release they sent out today is claiming. The company is planning to bring over that Lain figure that has been popular over here for a while, even though the series is old and the figure isn’t really that nice. They’ll be charging $60 for that. They are also bringing over a Sei figure, from Bakuretsu Tenshi. They don’t say if it’s the Alter Sei or the craptacular thing from yesterday. I am guessing the craptacular thing because they are billing it as 6 inches tall in the press release, and the Alter figure clocks in at over 8 (210mm). Plus, Organic isn’t exactly bringing the new hotness to this country figure wise. I have the Ren figure from DearS. Unimpressed.

The full press release is up after the jump. I changed the formatting a little bit because it came all blocky lined and stuff. Not very easy to read. Although, formatting isn’t helping this thing too much. It’s nice to know Organic is planning on cashing in on my PVC-based erections. “Did I say REMOVABLE?” She’s guaranteed to be my best friend. Seriously, read this thing. It’s the best PR I’ve seen in a long time.

P.S. There is literally no other figures news today. Oh, other than Goth Loli Kanu selling out. Mostly, I linked that so you could see her in the from-behind direction. You’re welcome.
