Alter has a triple release today, following the WF2010 Summer showcase. Saten, Hideyoshi and Yuri Lowell have preorders open. Ruiko is from To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, one can wonder why she’s first before Kuroko Shirai. Kinoshita Hideyoshi is from Baka to Test to Shokanju, the famous trap of the series. Yuri Lowell is from Tales of Vesperia.
Name: Saten Ruiko
Series: To Aru Kagku no Railgun
Release: December 2010
Price: 7,140 yen
Scale: 1/8 (210mm)
Sculptor: Mumei
When I first saw her in shots from Wonfes Summer 2010, I thought her grin was really strange. But seeing these official shots, it looks a bit better. Though I think the price tag of 7140 yen is really high for her. However you can get her with promotions on certain shops they have going right now. I love Saten, she’s got a great personality, and she’s the only one at Level 0 in the group. The sculpt and paint job look amazing, much expected from Alter.
Name: Kinoshita Hideyoshi
Series: Baka to Test to Shokanju
Release: December 2010
Price: 6,800 yen
Scale: 1/8 (180mm)
Sculptor: Houjun Otoyama
Hideyoshi already has a few figures, and is proven a popular trap. He is often mistaken as a girl with his feminine appearance. Object of many cosplays and cross-dressing alike, now Alter makes their PVC figure version. He looks good, I love the paint work and the face is perfect. He also comes with his summon character, now I wonder which character Alter will do next!
Name: Yuri Lowell
Series: Tales of Vesperia
Release: December 2010
Price: 6,800 yen
Scale: 1/8 (215mm)
Sculptor: Mirano
Yuri Lowell is the main character of Tales of Vesperia, the tenth major release in the Tales Series. A young man from the imperial capital, Zaphias. Yuri comes across as sarcastic and cynical, possibly due to the way the nobility treated the people of the Lower Quarter. Alter has done yet another amazing job, the details on this one is outstanding! Great pose and base, it’s not plain like the two, very neat. The price is very reasonable aswell. Alter has also included a deformed version of him, very cute.
