[Figure/Hobby] Fine Scenery Noir et Blanc - Diana (ディアナ) and Morte (モルテ)

This Fine Scenery Noir et Blanc Figure, Diana and Morte both look very nice. It release on last week - 27 June 2007. The paint jobs (face, mouth, skin tone), the pose, the sculpts are perfectly done. Beside this, the packaging is fantastic! And both of it look very sexy. And also it can be striped(Both Diana and Morte's cloth also can take off). The 1st batch come with a manga as well.

My friend just get it today, the "real" thing is really nice, I cant think of any word to describe it. It's nice and very detail. And the package look like a cookie box, but the package is nice design. The price is worth for it.
