Well, after completing my first full route (all endings) with Hanako, I'm in love more then in any anime or VN character before.

The thing is, that I would simply pay whatever amount of money is required to obtain an actual KS bishoujo figure of Hanako (I have a rather wide collection of anime figures, but never I felt so much attachment to a character like this). 1/8, PVC would be perfect. As for pose, I think that one of the default ones (shy, or the one covering half of her face) would just hit the right spot. So, who would also love this kind of goods to come out someday? Maybe it could be aranged somehow, since the market is especially keen on KS right now, so figures would sell like metaphorical fresh buns in preorder (if made with extra care, like most of ones designed and produced by Kotobukiya or MAX-factory)? :3

Just an idea, since I do not know the details about how exactly the market for figures work under the shell.

I think it would be a very cool idea, but unfortunately I dont think it would ever happen

Making those and selling them for profit would violate the license.

I think there are some figures floating around after most popular VN's, and since this is all money and demand, then KS has a rather unique demand on it's relatively huge user base for this to work. I think it would pay off greatly for any company to push some figures off to global market. Yet I'm not a marketing specialist, so you might be right as well.

@Mirage_GSM: Not unless IP owners would actually agree, isn't it right?

Yes, not if they agree.
But they have stated explicitly and repeatedly that they won't agree to any such proposal.

That's a shame. As a dedicated player, I would feel highly complemented by the fact that someday, somehow I can re-play my favorite route with a figure of my "2D wifu" ustanding near the screen. Even if that means that the development team would actually see some money for the awesome job they did throughout the years.

Guess who needs a figma? Rin, Hanako, Lilly, Emi and Shizune
