For such a hugely popular and anticipated Nendoroid, it's been odd that we've only seen scans and quick shots of Nendoroid Hitagi Senjougahara up until this point. That's not a problem anymore though as Mikatan has thrown up a full, comprehensive preview, showing her off in all her glory.
She's looking nothing short of fantastic, with an array of accessories including her iconic stapler and switchblade (along with hands to hold them), a replacement ponytail hairpiece and smiling and neutral faces. Perhaps most impressively GSC have included replacement arm and skirt parts and enough stationary gear to replicate her famous skirt-lifting key visual pose (which was also the basis for their 1/8 scale figure). It's a little busy on such a small scale but still an great effort!
Hitagi is included as part of the 'Bakemonogatari Premium Item Box' which also includes pin badges, posters and a new short story by Bakemonogatari author Nisio Isin, fittingly called 'Hitagi Figure'. Mikatan details the order process through Kodansha in her blog, but that's for domestic Japan only. The good news is the box is also listed on most major retailers at ¥5700, so have some links and happy pre-ordering!
