Ok, let’s be perfectly honest here: this Professor Layton Revoltech figure is on-fire hot. If I had a saltier lexicon, one surely unbefitting of a gentleman like Professor Layton, I’d say it wassh*thot. At the very least, I would explain the extent which it issoRaven.
Brass tacks: This buddy comes courtesy ofKaiyodo’s Revoltech Yamaguchiline of figures. He’s five inches tall, fully articulated, and comes with a handful of accessories: two faces (thinking and “I’ve got it!”), a coterie of hand gestures, his trusty notebook, a brick-patterned stand, and a cuppa, as well as a table and chair in which to enjoy said cuppa.
I have to admit that I don’t know much about Revoltech — most of my collecting is done chez Kid Robot and tokidoki — butTiny Cartridge saysthe good Professor will only set you back a reasonable $26. I’m not even sure where you’re able to pre-order this lovely package — I find my lack of Google-fu or Japanese language skills disturbing in this case.
The good news is that if any of you fine readers knows more about importing Japanese figures than I do, you’re able to enlighten me about how to get my grubby, gaijin mitts on one. Even better news — Professor Layton goes on sale in March, which is just in time for my birthday.
Which is actually in May, or whenever this figure goes on sale. Whichever comes first.
