Alter Yagami Hayate

Hayate-1

Took this picture from one of my friend's Alter Hayate last week. She is from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha anime, well, quite famous in Japan.

It's hard to find this figure nowadays, as you can see, this one is an old figure and yes, a DAMN HOT BABE!! You can buy it from Amazon Japan, but with the price of 21400 yen!! My friend bought this one from Yahoo Auction for 11000 yen. Yes, he's damn happy guy and so am I(well as long as I can take the pict).

Overview from Wikipedia

In the plot premise of the original series, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (2004), 21 "Jewel Seeds", highly destructive artifacts from another dimension, are accidentally scattered across Earth. After Nanoha assists an injured extradimensional magician in collecting them, she is drawn into a magical battle against a female mage named Fate Testarossa, who came to Earth to collect Jewel Seeds for her mother Precia. Attracted by their activity, the interdimensional police TSAB ("Time-Space Administration Bureau") intervenes to secure and seal the artifacts. In the end, Nanoha convinces Fate to rebel against Precia, who is defeated and apparently dies.

In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's (2005), Nanoha continues her magical training. Six months after the original series, she and Fate encounter the "Wolkenritter", four mages who steal others' magical abilities to save Hayate Yagami, a wheelchair-using Japanese girl. Since the Wolkenritter are skilled in Ancient Belkan combat magic far superior to theirs, Nanoha and Fate fail to stop them and the Book of Darkness, an ancient artifact bound to Hayate, is activated. A worldwide catastrophe is only prevented thanks to TSAB and, most importantly, Hayate's intervention. In the following years, all primary characters leave Earth to pursue magical careers in the TSAB homeworld Mid-Childa.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS (2007) takes place ten years after A's and is set on Mid-Childa. Hayate, now a Lieutenant Colonel of TSAB, forms a special Riot Force 6 to counter the impending terrorist crisis organized by Dr. Scaglietti, former colleague and accomplice of Precia Testarossa, and his combat cyborgs ("Numbers"). Nanoha, Fate, and the Wolkenritter join the unit, along with four young mages whom they personally train ("Forwards"). Despite their preparations, the unit fails to protect Vivio, a girl targeted by Scaglietti and adopted by Nanoha, and the crisis strikes in full force, stopped in the nick of time by Riot Force 6's heroic efforts. The unit is then dissolved, with its members returning to their original posts.
A Drama CD titled Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS Sound Stage X (2008) is set three years after the Jail Scaglietti Incident. It features the characters first introduced in StrikerS, mainly, the Forwards and the Numbers, investigating a serial murder case on Mid-Childa. Their investigation eventually leads them to the Mariage, semi-sentient humanoid weapons from the Ancient Belkan era, and their elusive creator, Dark King Ixpellia.

Vivio's story is continued in the manga Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid (2009-ongoing), which is set four years after StrikerS. Vivio now attends a magical academy on Mid-Childa, unaware that she is being targeted by an enigmatic female magician, Heidi E.S. Ingvalt, who named herself after an Ancient Belkan Hegemon and seeks to fight and defeat her and Ixpellia.
Another manga, Magical Chronicle Lyrical Nanoha Force (2009-ongoing), set six years after StrikerS, focuses on a new protagonist, Touma Avenir. After Touma rescues a mute girl named Lily Strosek on remote world, he unwittingly becomes a fugitive from TSAB. The ex-members of Riot Force 6 join forces once again to avert a new crisis caused by dangerous Ancient Belkan legacy, the Book of the Silver Cross, to which Lily is apparently connected.

*Need some comments for this pictures because I think I've messed up with my monitor color setting.
