Beware of imitations on eBay (and other auction sites) of the Medicom vinyl toy (VCD) released at the Japanese convention (WONDER FESTIVAL - WINTER 2007) around Feb/March. It has sadly appeared as a cheap counterfeit complete with poor paintwork. It's a real shame, but with the original limited to only 400 units and its price has rocketed. Check the picture below of the beautiful & authentic version. Stands 20cm tall.
