Hobby Japan magazine has this preview of FREEing's 1/4 scale Konata Izumi in it's recent issue. As you can see by the Konata Figma in one of the pics, this is a huge statue of Konata. The figure is scheduled for release in June 2009. No price has been given, but seeing as how most of FREEing's other 1/4 scale figures retail for around 11,000 yen or so, you can probably expect Konata to be in that general area price wise.
Overall the figure looks really nice. And looking closer at the pictures, it looks as if her gym cloths are actual clothe. If you look at the top left image, you see that her shirt is pulled up revealing her belly button. In the other 3 front images it is pulled down over her shorts.
This figure is defiantly on my to buy list. Luckily it is still a few months off, so I have time to save up for her. Is this Konata on your want list?
