Limited edition and production exclusives are extremely depressing events!!!
But I know I’ll regret it if I don’t at least try to get my hands on him (T-T) He is the only anime character I had a major crush on (for some reason I can’t explain) ever since I watched the first Darker than Black season. It was like a love-at-first-sight (一目惚れ) kind of thing. Probably the first time in my many years of anime watching lol~ It’s really strange ^^;;

With middle man fees and so on, you can expect to pay at least 24,000 Yen for him. It is –REALLY– depressing. The last time there was an exclusive Gundam 00 RAH figure of Setsuna F. Seirei which cost about the same but I’m ok with not having him since I wasn’t a big fan of him.
But this time, it’s Hei. I hope I can get him. His announcement totally killed all my budgeting plans. There’s no guarantee of securing a piece, so I can only keep my fingers crossed :(
Hei is voiced by Kiuchi Hidenobu 木内 秀信.

i’m verrrrrry lucky i get this Rah for my lover Hei *-* it was very expensive but Hei-sama he is deserving it ^-^
i have my Hei-sama this is as dream ^ô^
@Gin Sama: Yep worth every cent :D will regret if I couldn’t get my hands on him lol~ Glad you have him too!
Hey Ponytail… this figure looks like bangin from “Japanese words of anime fans, by anime fans, for anime fans” blog. I have not see Darker than Black. What do you think?
@Tasuki_Honey: hmm… now that you mentioned it, he does look like Bangin-san at certain angles but Bangin-san hasn’t cosplayed him before X3
Gaa~ You’ve got to watch Darker than Black!
Ohmygod, Medicom! You disappoint me. This is so depressing and heartbreaking. Why the hell make this an exclusive? I want this RAH so bad, arghhh! I’m not sure I can afford paying additional fees for an agent. Ah, so depressing. I would have to cancel all those preorders I currently have ToT… We shall see though!
@Jima: Yeah :( I had a feeling he might turn out to be exclusive but was hoping it won’t happen. Let’s hope we can both get him! I have to work extra hard for more $ cos my preorders can’t be cancelled (T_T)
I was wondering when they were going to release him. Seeing this post made me happy but then sad. He’s totally so expensive and he isn’t available without having to get a middle man service?;_; sucks…
I hope AmiAmi puts him out at least. They managed to put out the Eva. Kaoru one from what i remembered.
I do wish you best of luck getting your hands on him! He looks awesome~
@sigma: Me too! I just re-watched the OVAs (the period between S1 and S2) and then found out about this (T_T)
The RAH Eva boys are general release items so most stores carry them. Unless Medicom Toy made additional stock of Hei for international release, he is unlikely to be available on other online stores (T_T)
Thanks sweetie! Need all the luck I can get now!
LOL pony, I can’t even dream about him T___T… please get him and take his clothes and show us! XDDD ah but if he’s your big crush, maybe you don’t wanna share his intimacy with us! XDDD
I quite enjoy the 1st season of Darker Than Black, and it was mainly because of Hei. Sure he’s a handsome and cool guy (and I agree with you, it’s difficult look at him and don’t fantasize *__*) and this figure is a must-have, he truly looks awesome! But being a RAH and besides that, exclusive, makes him really unaffordable to me.
Serious, I really want you to get him, good luck!
@planck-chan: Thanks dear! Need all the luck I can get! I hope I can get him… 800 pieces and only for local release (T_T) I think the competition is stiff! But I can only hope.
I’ll definitely make a detailed review of Hei if I can get him! :D He maybe my big anime character crush but I’ll be happy to share XD
Generally, I think they’re quite generous this time in terms of all the accessories he gets. Comparatively, Setsuna’s RAH was quite boring for the same price.
