Torrance, CA, November 27, 2007 - 'tis the season to be shopping, and Yamato USA has just the thing to bring a little holiday cheer to the otaku in everyone.

SIF EX: IKKI TOUSEN - Ryofu, 1/7 Scale PVC Statue
You don't need to be a fan of the 'fan service' anime/manga Ikki Tousen (a.k.a. Battle Vixens) to appreciate sculptor Eiichi Ishida (STUDIO DRESS)'s take on Ryofu Housen. Wielding her signature houtengeki, this battling beauty is ready to throw down to keep her rep on the Toutaku team. Think you can take her? Only one way to find out. SIF EX: IKKITOUSEN - Ryofu is Eiichi Ishida's follow-up to Yamato's wildly popular SIF EX: IKKITOUSEN - Kanu Unchou. With creds like that, she can't loose. Window boxed, Ryofu comes decked out (or not) in a cast-off jacket and display base.

Yamato USA's allotment of this item is sold out! To add this piece to your collection, check for availability with our retailers listed below.

CREATORS' LABO #013: AIR GEAR - Simca PVC Statue
Meet Simca from the popular manga title Air Gear by mangaka Oogure (Oh! Great). Simca is the beautiful, yet elusive, object of hero Itsuki Minami's affection. He loves to watch her fly high on her AT (Air Trecks); and so will you with this wonderful figure crafted by "French Doll" of the renowned sculpting team Cerebus Project TM. Defying gravity, Yamato's CREATORS' LABO #13: AIR GEAR - Simca comes complete with a set of decorative decals and themed base, all packaged in a collector's style window box. A genuine collectible for fans of anime/manga, as well as the appreciators of toy art.

1/15 MEGAZONE 23: Garland - Factory Color
Yamato continues its Megazone 23 line of 1/15 scale, fully transformable action figures with its Garland - Factory Color. An awesome cool silver paint application punctuated with red details adds a sleek, heart-pounding style to the already impressive Garland. You can almost feel the drift. Yamato's 1/15 Megazone 23: Garland - Factory color comes packaged in a five panel, flip top window box complete with host of accessories including Shogo action figure with alternate head, pulse cannon, and set of decals to trick out your Garland in your own personal style.

1/12 ARMORED TROOPER VOTOMS: Fyana (Woodo) Action Figure
Two years have past since Yamato released the ultimate action figure, Chirico Cuvie, as part of its ground-breaking 1/12 scale Armored Trooper Votoms series. Now, Yamato is extremely excited to offer the much anticipated Fyana perfect soldier. Sculpted by Maki Asai, the same sculptor of Chirico Cuvie, Fyana features all the amazing articulation of Chirico, and more. And like Chirico, Fyana can easily be boarded into her 1/12 Brutish Dog. She also comes with a host of accessories -- two kinds of helmets, interchangeable face and body parts, and themed weaponry. The package even includes new head parts for the Chirico Cuvie action figure to give him a fresh, new look.
