Akiba Hobby reports this evening that a figure we’ve been keeping an eye on for awhile now, Yamato’s Tandem Twin sculpted Doubutsu Nee-chan Inu Aruma, is in fact castoffable. This is a sensible move on Yamato’s part given the slow sales of some of the other items in their Doubutsu Nee-chan series, and given the recent announcement of exchangeable chest part Momo wasn’t an entirely unexpected development. She’s currently available for preorder, and I expect this revelation will bump her up on the priority list for many (myself included). In other Tandem Twin news, he’s currently working on a catgirl resin kit that should be released by year’s end (my money is on WHF Ariake 17 in December). (no more)
Yet again another figure I am sooooooooo happy I pre-order. Love it love it love it love it.
Heh- whoooops that was me up there, not Anonymous- sorry- yes, I am using this mistake as an excue to view the figure again…..
I am hardly surprised. :) From the pics of the prototype, I can spot that the chest armor is removable, even though they didn’t state it as a special feature in their ads (just mentioned the whip and visor only.)
I have a hunch that at least 1 alternate color version (light purple one?) will be released too. It’s standard yamato practice. :)
After saying all that above, I did pre-order the figure too. But only 1 piece, saving up my money for the alt-color version. (I usually get a pair from other manufacturers) :)
