Mon-Sieur Bome Collection Vol. 14 and 15 have been revealed as C1 and C2 Kasumi from Dead or Alive!  Set to ship in late August, each figure will cost Y4500 (around $49). For those who don't know, the Mon-Sieur Bome Collection is a collection of pre-painted, pre-assembled PVC figures. These are basically aimed towards those who like garage kits but don't have the skills or time to paint and make them. The collection is known for it's nice sculpts and reasonable prices, and is perhaps the most well-known PVC figure maker. While I like the fact that Bome is doing Kasumi figures, I'm not quite sure I like the pose. Ah well, I'll probably get them anyway.

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.
