Pretty much. Even Koto Bishoujo fans facebook had no idea until the solicit.
Maybe Gonk can chime in and provide some info?

I love it. But with no giant company to pay a license fee to, what's the excuse on the high price tag now? It's like I said, with every new preorder, these Bishoujo go up in price. It's getting out of hand.

In any case, I buy bishoujo for the characters. Characters I like ...in Bishoujo form, that is.

These type of Bishoujo pieces I can do without.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I was so excited, then I saw the MSRP and could think of nothing be four letter words. $160, Koto, are you out of your minds? How is anyone paying these prices for this scale? That forces me to be out before I could even get in on this line, and I freaking buy 99% of Shunya figures, of any sort. (The 1% missing are the exorbitant bishoujos like this.)

To be fair, these prices are competitive when compared to Iron Studios 1/10 scale pieces.

These prices for IS 1/10th scale items is absurd too!

Yeah, it wasn't that long ago that they were $100 or less.
