She was available at a reasonable price when I started out, but I wasn’t really deep into the PVC world and focused more on vinyl so I skipped over her due to the price.

She retails for ¥8,000, an amazing price for a 1/6 scale figure, and I can’t believe they kept her original pricing! Orders are open until March 31st and will be released in July, though I expect most proxies will sell out far before the end of March due to how coveted this figure is. Orders aren’t open at the regular places yet, but we’ll update when she is available!</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/AlterSaberAlterMaidHeader.jpg "Saber Alter Maid Will Clean Your Floors")
