78 bucks? That's a pretty nice price, considering that, I believe,
Hobbylink charges MSRP, which is 9800 yen. I won't have dough to spend
for a few weeks; I hope a Kanna doll sticks around that long-- while she
isn't my favorite (Kohran beats her by a hair), she -was- the first
character I beat the game with, and those are kickass dolls.
Since we're on the subject of figures, I'll again point out that you can
get Sakura, Kohran, and Iris LMfigures from Action Ace
(www.actionace.com) for $6.95 each, plus $6.95 shipping-- these should
all still be in stock. These little statues are all around 8 inches
tall, and really nicely detailed, depicting the girls in their battle
outfits. That price is a sweet deal even if you buy only one, because
the figures tend to retail for at least $20 at other places. So if
you're looking to add more Sakura Taisen loot to your collection and
these figs are on your want list, that's a good place to get 'em.
