What can be better than buying a figure of an attractive dual katana weilding girl wearing a sailor fuku with a drama CD that has her voice and theme song? Good Smile Company and RED have teamed up to bring you Shuraki, a series of 1/8 scale PVC statues that include a drama CD and a special booklet with illustrations and background info on the character. The idea is a bit Queen's Blade-ish in the sense that each heroine will be designed by a well known Bishoujo artist. The first in the line up will be Akatsuki with her Sailor Fuku and Dual Katanas, she seems to have all the making of a popular heroine. Her accessories will of course be her weapons but she will also feature removable clothing to exchange with a battle damaged Sailor Fuku!!! Akatsuki will also include a Drama CD with an original Drama and original theme song. Ami Koshimizu of AIKa (Agent Aika) and Code Geass (Karen) fame is cast as the voice of Akatsuki in the CD drama. A 24 page booklet featuring illustrations, info and stats on the Akatsuki herself will also be included. No release date or price has been given yet but as soon as it's announced you can bet I'll report it here!
