When I was in Otsu last summer in a little shop there was a finished
Kanzaki Akari (from Battle Athletes) resin figure I would love to have had,
but it was around $160.00. So I had to pass and just get the plastic Rei
figure (the one with the interchangeable heads and arms, can't remember the
brand right now) for a cheap $30.00. (That is what the price tag said in
katakana..chipu)
