With the regular edition up for preorder last week, the official Nitro+ online shop today took the wraps off their limited edition Kuro no Franco PVC figure from Zoku: Satsuriku no Jango. As expected the three major design differences are her expression, the addition of a scarf, and the striped undergarment so brazenly flaunted in place of the original white. Those preferring this version will likely have to acquire it via a proxy, as she’s only available from the Nitro+ shop. (no more)

Wow….I’m liking this version better…due to the face and the scarf. I like the plain white panties better.
Any idea what’s the significance of the strip panties, especially the light blue and white stripe ones? Alot of limited edition figure seemed to have this panty design. Is it because this panty is standard issue for high school students? I really want to know what’s the fetish behind this panty. Thanks. :)

Striped panties are called “shimapan” in Japanese and are more or less an otaku myth (along with bloomers and non-blood related little sisters). There is no correlation between the moe fetish for them and any clothing preference that actually exists in Japanese society. I’m not sure why blue and white is the favored color combination, but it seems to have caught hold as the pattern of choice in the minds of otaku…
