The main Hyakka Ryouran line has been in the works for a LONG time: the first release was way back in October of 2009. Well, three years later we’re getting the release of the 7th girl in Alter’s lineup, who is also the second to last: only Charles is left! Yagyu Gisen will actually be released exactly three years after Yagyu Jubei barring any delays, as she’s an October release with a retail price of ¥7800.
They went with a simpler pose here, but I’ve been really looking forward to her ever since the sculpt popped up in magazine scans. The detail on Gisen is pretty spectacular: just look at the pattern on her tights, gloves and swords! The scissor swords will be poseable, and you can also remove her eyepatch to reveal some delicious heterochromia. Orders should open on the 13th, and at this rate I suspect we’ll see the last Hyakka release around March (not counting the swimsuit girls–I wouldn’t be surprised if Alter did ALL of them). It’s been a long road, but all of the figures in it have been so amazing–I’m sure Gisen will be no different.

You’d think they would be a bit lackluster because companies are gearing up for their Wonder Festival reveals–but you’d be mistaken! There are many lovely ladies here as usual, including a rather stellar batch from Kotobukiya and a extra scary Cattleya, along with some nasty exclusive surprises. Check them out after the jump!</p> <p><strong>[UPDATE]</strong> Updated with a few stragglers.</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/ScansJan2013Header.jpg "Magazine Scans: January 2013")

And, of course, the obligatory boy as well! This week was pretty sparse in terms of numbers but it was chock-full of awesome releases. Almost every one (aside from a rather bland loli and a re-release we have) was a must-get for me and Stephen. So hit the jump to check them out!</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/Roundup610Header.jpg "PVC Pre-Order Roundup: 6/10~6/14")

It’s like being a kid in a candy store except none of the candy can actually be purchased and it’s all very expensive. This month we have exactly what you’d expect: more <em>Queen’s Blade</em>, Miku, <em>Hyakka Ryouran</em>, <em>Seven Sins</em>, and a whole lot more. So hit the jump and let’s get started!</p> <p><strong>[UPDATE]</strong> Updated with scans from FREEing & AmiAmi Zero</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/MarchScans2012Header.jpg "Magazine Scans: March 2012")
