Fans of CLAMP’s Chobits anime and manga rejoice: Amiami has just posted a listing for a new Chii PVC figure from sculptor N.S Gun (Cerberus Project) and maker Lilics (Artstorm). This isn’t the first time Lilics and Cerberus have teamed up to produce a Chii figure; the first Lilics figure on the market, in fact, was a PVC rendition of this 2002 vintage sculpt. It was released at a quality level and price point that made it unpalatable to most fans, and is still sitting around in dark corners of hobby shops here today; I have higher hopes for this newly announced kit (2003 original here), as both the sculpt and the price point seem far more reasonable this time around. A serious item to consider as its July ’07 scheduled release approaches. (pictures below)


Even if it wasen’t Chii, i’d be ordering for that amazing facial expression. Damn you Hideki.
I’ve preordered this too! What a collection I’m going to have! ^^
I haven’t quite decided on her yet. It’s certainly a tempting figure, and I don’t dislike Chii, but something is holding me back – maybe all of the other preorders I’ve racked up recently. ;; I’ll probably hold off on a decision until shots of the PVC sample come online.
