Famed garage kit maker Bubba's latest kit Velvet from the Playstation 2 cult hit Odin Sphere is getting the PVC treatment. Figure maker Yamato has a less than stellar record in figure quality in the past, but in recent years made large improvements which we hope will be represented in this figure. For the concerned buyers, supposedly Bubba himself is supervising the PVC rendition. Bubba has made stunning figures in the past including the Haruhi bunny garage kit and Max Factory's Etna from Disgaea.

Though I am a bit disappointed that Max Factory is not releasing Velvet, I will probably still be picking this figure up; hopefully Yamato will be able to replicate the paint job as wells as the sculpt accurately. The figure will be released later this year, and we'll keep you updated on any new developments.
