Check out this sexiness: a figure of Teddie from Persona 4! photo

I find the timing on the arrival of this figure amusing. Yesterday, I was having a conversation with Tomopop's Eva Duenas about how I would shell out major cash to have figures of any of the male cast from Persona 4, especially Yosuke, Naoto and Teddie. This morning, I wake up and find an email in my inbox from the eternally incredible Aiya telling me that Hobby Search has opened preorders for a "Kuma" figure -- in other words, Teddie (Kuma was the name used for the character in the Japanese version of the game).

Wave scooted just that much further into my good graces due to this figure, which is due out in August and retails for about $24. If you're wondering why the price is so reasonable, Teddie measures in at about 3.5 inches, so he's only about the size of a trading figure. While I would have preferred a 1/7 scale figure of him, I'm not complaining -- just glad I can have him on my toy shelf!

[Thanks, Stella!]

I'm right now (day off) playing Persona 3 for the first time, so I'm already looking forward to playing 4 and seeing what this little dude IS, because I see it everywhere.

Due out late August? Forget about it.

I refuse to buy it... I'm still waiting for a Yukari figure.

A Chie figure would be nice too.

As I was playing P4 this morning before work, I looked at Teddie and thought "I want one of those on my shelf."

Chie and Yukiko figures would be pretty damn awesome as well.

Tell me it comes with Suprise inside (you know the one) and we'll call it a deal.

I would prefer a nice Yukiko figure myself, but if I see this at Anime Boston I am grabbing it instantly.

I would kill a man with my bare hands to get a Naoto figurine.

Naoto is a girl, but you don't find out until later in the story.

I feel sorry for those who already missed out, but a Yukiko figure was already released, and it looks damn fine sitting on my shelf. Good luck finding it though as it's sold out everywhere I look. Here's what it looks like:

I'd love a Chie figure though. As for Teddie it's too small for my taste. I'll stick with my plush for now.

A figure would be pritty bad ass too. I have a Akihiko figure from a while ago that would look good next to it.
