So I was looking around a site and there was coverage on the Comiket of Taiwan, also known as Fancy Frontier. I was looking at the cosplayers but then, I found something that amazed me and never knew that was in the process of being created.

Yes. That is what you think it is. And now currently, I'm looking for a site or someplace to buy this little guy off of >> If anyone were to able to find it, then please link~

Haha. yeeeah. It's on a site that should not be looked at by minors because of the ads at the sidebar. XD

I wish that there was info on it though! D:

I didn't catch that and I am not about to go back to check (even though I am well over-age ;) *onion hero pose* )

I am checking all the usual sites...I just wish I knew some form of the language D: *only knows Japanese* -_-;

I saw it on Yu Wo's blog earlier, and it was being sold together with the new 1/2 Prince novel editions (new cover art by Xiao Qiang, who drew the artbook). I tried to order it, but I gave up after trekking through all the Chinese...so much Chinese...OTL It was limited edition, by the way, so I don't think you can order it anymore.

I gave up on the figurine, but ahh, I hope YesAsia stocks that new novel edition sometime...

Yeah...I'd link you to the part of Yu Wo's blog that mentioned it, but I can only find it in the Favorites in my main PC at the moment...*on netbook* I wanna go home...DX

Anyway, yeah, I think it was a limited edition deal; if you paid extra, you could order it along with the novel. The deal ended, so now the option of buying the figure is gone...as far as I know. Ah, here's a related site:

http://www.kingstone.com.tw/

KingStone is the site Yu Wo linked to for buying the novel and figurine from. Good luck!

Even if you can't get the model with the book, I figure it'd still be a nifty thing to get if you're a fan as it does come with little extras.
I'll attempt to buy it, as I just ninja-ed my way into getting an account on the site, despite being fail at the language. Once you're a member, it gives the choice of overseas shipping. So I'll let you know how it goes xD

Edit: Ordered. Much to my own disbelief at myself. The exchange rate from TND to GBP is surprisingly good, I won't really mourn the money loss if it never arrives.
You can pay with Paypal, and if you type everything in caps for your address, it doesn't really get mashed up. 666元 for the order by itself, 477元 shipping, totalling to 1143元. About £24, or $38, all in all.

Yeah, that looks like the same one.

I'm not 100% sure on the extras xD I think it's mostly artwork-based stuff. I seriously cannot read that much Chinese yet, so if someone could translate the numbered section of the description? That'd be awesome. This'll be good incentive to focus more on my reading skills though.

Hopefully there are more than enough copies for everyone....cause I ordered 3 (one for myself, two for friends ^_^ )

XD

Hmmm, perhaps a DA blog would be in order, but I don't want to bump the Yu wo contest down....*ponders*

Hmm...it seems the artist has drawn not only the cover, but also title pages and the character introduction. There are also some extras like a bookmark, but I can't tell if that was for a limited edition deal or something...

The title for the book basically says "1/2 Prince New Edition (01) + '1/2 Prince / Zhan Bu Lou Illustrator Ver. # 1 Type' Bundle"...Don't know who/what "Zhan Bu Lou" is/means...><

I think the second part with "illustrator ver. #1" is referencing the figure cause that's what it says on the box.

3 weeks? That's awful. Well impressed with how fast it got here, was checking it's progress daily on the DHL website. Though I almost missed it being delivered, I was halfway up the street, waiting for a bus, and ran like a boss to grab the man before he left with it.

Home now though, not abusing the iPads in the Apple store for internet access this time. Will post up some pretty little photos later, and find a nifty way to sneak Prince into my college photography project that I'm shooting at the moment.

More pictures of the products on Yu Wo's blog!~ http://www.wretch.cc/blog/kim1984429/13527811

Hmmm the description of the product reads:

- 1/2 Prince volume 1 synopsis (Lazy to translate everything)

- The seven unique points about this series:

1. There will be 8 thousand words in a volume rather than the usual 6 thousand, and is going to be remade according to the MH light novel rules. (I think MH is either an online novel website, or publishing company. Lazy to look it up)

2. The entire book will be proofread and re-corrected by Yu Wo

3. It will be re-drawn by the popular artist of the "1/2 Prince Beautiful Visual Paintings" series "Little Strong". Not just the cover will be re-drawn, but there is also a large increase of important elements like insert pages, character introductions, title pages. (I think it's some kind of online artist who draws a series of 1/2 prince pictures)

4.Prince - PVC style bookmark 01 (Originally enclosed special edition) (This translates reallllly weirdly. Just look at Mr. MINTJAM's photos above. @-@)

5.Complimented with one discount voucher for the goods at the autograph session

6.Complimented with an activity corner (Special edition when one buys the full set) (I have no idea what the heck this is, even in Chinese.)

7. Includes a serialized side story "DREAM creating dreams" (Number of volumes undecided)

- Author Synopsis: Yu Wo (Lazy to add)
- Author Synopsis: Little Strong (Lazy to add)

Thank you, Ray!

To expand and clarify, Little Strong is the artist who drew the official 1/2 Prince artbook (illustrations found here).

It's probably made out of the same material that most figures are made out of (PVC is it?).

Gah! I wish I could open mine up, but I told myself I would wait until the other package got here....also, until my friend is able to come over (April 8)..........wish me luck T_T
