Feeling like a broken record here… Once again we turn to Moeyo! Akibajin blog for the inside scoop: according to their coverage, not only is the Kotobukiya shop limited, Yamashita Shunya designed Shouko-san‘s top removable but this is the first time in Kotobukiya’s history that they’ve fully painted everything underneath. Though typical Moeyo censorship prevents us from determining this for ourselves there’s no reason to disbelieve the assertion, and this may make what was otherwise a rather bland entry into Kotobukiya’s Shunya series rather more desirable (though not quite enough for me to justify an order at 7,350 yen, especially given the awkward-looking castoff). Regardless, here’s hoping this trend continues with future figures in the Yamashita line! (no more)
Yeah, I saw the cast-off feature of Shoko-san while browsing http://www.moeyo.com yesterday…
Not very impressed with the cast-off, not very clean as clothing straps are still visible on the shoulders…But this “cast-off” has to be a first in Kotobukiya figures, and is something to look forward to.
Yeah the “lines” are not making me fall for this figure….pass.
too pricey for me and that cushion really needs to go
too shiny too
Those folds of PVC left above her chest make this an unattractive one to me.
That looks ridiculous.
I don’t really like the glossy flesh paint Koto use. It makes the figures looked oiled. (So far, I have only Princess Leia in her slave outfit) Leia was my first koto and also my last. I did pre-order Belldandy. Since Bell has very little skin exposed, I don’t mind getting her.
As for Shoko-san, I guess it will be on my to-buy only with spare cash list. :)
