Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball fans may want to get in their preorders for an upcoming Hitomi figure. Due on August 31, 2006, this 1/6th scale figure features the cute karate master in her Reticulum outfit. The likeness to her virtual counterpart is pretty good, though her hair seems a little too dark and it's hard to tell if she's wearing her trademark hairband.

Interested parties can preorder the figure at CDJapan.co.jp and will eventually be charged around $70 when it ships (not including shipping). I don't know who is producing this figure and I haven't found another website with more info on this fig. Kotobukiya is the company behind this figure, which should have been obvious to me because of their history with Tecmo creating PVC figures of Ninja Gaiden characters, and producing some DOAX "One Coin" trading figures. Follow the link to preorder this figure and check out some additional photos. You can also preorder it from Hobby Link Japan.
