thats a rip off

of what?

The price is a rip-off.

Sometimes, some artists should learn their maths a bit... the coma is ALWAYS on the THOUSANDS (should be 51,000). Or he's using French-like coma and it should means that's it's only 5.1 yens, a bargain :}

Actually Japanese people split the digits in group of four.
Your `ALWAYS' is plain wrong.

Am I the only one that thinks it strange that a working woman can't afford a pet for Flanchan while an idle shrinemaiden and a NEET can?

If she was being paid to work, then yes.

so THAT'S where they keep getting them.

Maybe they are wild ones...Or it's Tewi behind it.

I don't think a yukkuri would be durable enough for Flan. It wouldn't last five seconds.

Alice isn't exactly a NEET, she's a dollmaker. I'm sure she manages to pull in alot of money in conventions and such, and blows them all on stuff like this. Just like how real-life otaku somehow buy figurines costing obscene amounts of money.

Reimu obvoiusly just mugged someone for her Yukkuri.

51000 Yen? That's around $550! Talk about a ripoff... more so if we remember that Sakuya's a tightwad.

It's not atypical for cats/dogs to cost that much or more. It's a bargain for a pet that's also intelligent.

For a certain value of intelligent, yeah.

For a certain value of perversion you mean? Gives an entire new meaning to giving head, and knowing some otaku/touhou fans... O_O;

I spat out my soda at this.

I would save up and buy one. Probably a Patchouli, Cirno or Chen one.

In today's global economy, that Yukkuri is $547.74 now! That's effectively a 1% discount!

You forget about their irregular jobs...one makes dolls for both the medical and toy sector while the other is, for all intents and purposes, Gensokyo's government.

51000 yen for a single Yukkuri? Highway robbery, right there.

Wait so how did Reimu get one? You telling me that she happen to have 51000 yen lying around?

Yukkuri prices skyrocketed so vendors can pay licensing fee from the copyright holder
