Update: I finally found the time to review these chibi figures!
Title: Hakuouki Supicotto (Speaking mascot?) 薄桜鬼 すぴこっと
Price: 4,410 yen (1 complete set contains 6 boxes)
Release date: 7 July 2011
Description: 60-65 mm. Each character will speak 2 lines from the anime.
Available from Animate Japan/Movic only. CDJapan offering proxy service! Check ’em out!
Made by the same company who gave us Durarara!! Trading Voice mascot figures. The strange thing is they’re currently only on sale at Animate Japan and Movic. I wonder why? The Durarara!! chibis had a general release and this set doesn’t look anything like an Animate exclusive either :-\
This post will feature the general overview of the figures. Each figure will have their own review post with a short video clip of the voice function.
First up, the box packaging from top view.
Bottom of the box.
Side view. Love the chibi illustrations that the figures are based on.
The other side features the two lines each character says.
And another side.

p.s. what do you mean by proxy service? (╥_╥) searching for them in cdjapan..
@mai-chan: Proxy service as in people in Japan to help us buy on our behalf since Animate doesn’t ship international. You can try the services out and find out which is best for you in terms of service charges, delivery charges, etc. You can also try tenso.com, fromjapan.co.jp and cdjapan etc to compare.
i’m sooo tempted to order too ☆ (≧ω≦)
Yay~ looking forward to your video review! I can’t decide because I already have the Kotobukiya ones.
@riya: I have those too and I prefer their design! Kinda sucker of me cos I wanted Harada (yusa’s voice) OTL;;
Awwwwww me wants :3, I love Souji and Hajime <3
@Asamisa: I’ll most probably do a video review when I get them :D
I was originally planning to get them but I thought the chibis were just “okay”, somewhat lacking.
Though the Saito one is pretty nice and Heisuke’s has a je ne sais quoi to it.
@Oru: yeah I’m getting it mainly because of Harada (Yusa) and the other seiyuus. they are still cute but I think the kotobukiya one-coins beat them hands down.
There was a hetalia version with voice by the same company too. I passed them tho. No budget at that time.
