Reisen Udongein Inaba by Ichijinsha
A recent get from ToysLogic, and the first thing I’ve ordered from them in over a year, Reisen Udongein Inaba limited edition mini figure by Ichijinsha came with the manga “Inaba and the Ground in the Moon” vol 1. Reisen is the second Touhou figure added to my collection, and also the smallest figure I own to date. She cost me $21.99 total, shipping included. Not a bad price for something so cute, even if she is tiny. If you’re interested in buying her you might have to search around a bit, as she’s no longer in stock at ToysLogic. Cheapest Touhou purchase I’ll probably ever make, and one that I don’t regret at all. More lunar rabbit madness behind the cut.
The manga itself is in Japanese, without furigana to help novice readers. Of course, this means that I can’t really read it fully, as I am no good with Kanji yet. It will be a mission for me to learn Japanese to the point where I can actually read and understand it all. The first few pages are in full color, and the rest in standard black and white. There is a slip cover over it as well. The manga looks pretty cool, but honestly I got this mainly for the mini figure. The mini figure is quite simple, no pegs for the base, no joints or pieces to put together. The highlight is that she’s very cute and accurate to the character. I’m going to have lots of fun taking pictures of Reisen, I’ve already got her with Remilia and took some group pictures, and she’s perfect size to ride on Remilia’s bats: smaller than a puchi nendoroid! Anyways, there’s not a whole lot that I can say about her, but she’s made quite well for a figure of such tiny proportions. Worth a get if you’re a Touhou fan, guess it’s obvious I am by now. I love my little Reisen. Here’s some more pictures of her along with Remilia and her bats.
I’ll definitely be taking more pictures of little Reisen because she’s too adorable to ignore. I think she’s perfect for her size and I almost wish I had an army of little figures like her. I might have to do some photo manipulation with her in the future.

So small … but so cute. For a limited edition, the price is suitable.
Photos with bats are fun.

I love the idea of Reisen riding around on the bats.
On the other hand, it really feels like you’re getting punished if you buy the book for Reisen alone, and not buying the book and it happened to have Reisen bundled with it.
