Amiami put a preorder listing up this evening for Griffon‘s (R-Line‘s?) upcoming [ERO] Kanu Unchou (LTD DX ver.) PVC figure from Ikkitousen. This is a PVC version of an earlier released Griffon garage kit and is sculpted by Ikeda Ryouichi, clocking in at 1/7 scale and 6,825 yen retail. Unlike the original resin kit she comes complete with a “damage version” interchangeable shirt part, and is set for release in December; looks like a winner to me, and I hope Griffon decides to keep on converting their resins to PVCs like this. Edit: Y reminds us that this figure originally came out in PVC as a Hobby Japan mail order limited item earlier this year. It seems the only difference between the two versions (other than the additional damaged shirt part) is the green trim of her uniform blouse, and a bit more slippage up front.

Cast off enabled for the top?
Is the interchangeable chest the only difference between this one and the adesugata one released back in April as a Hobby Japan exclusive?
Oh wait, looks like my HJ exclusive has a blue shirt and this one a green one
>>MK
I don’t think there’s anything to cast off there; she looks pretty naked to me.

Yeah, this looks really similar to the HJ limited version. I’m a bit surprised that they’re offering it with such a minor change.
Shame they don’t have an interchangeable covered top. I can’t very well justify this purchase if I can’t show her off to everyone (given my room is a public place due to my mother coming in to see me every day! )
I have th HJ limited version, but i’ll be damned, bacause those minor changes look even better than the HJ one. I may have to fork out for her again…….I do love Kanu though.
Wow, this is great news. I can’t wait for her to be on preorder at HLJ. This is wonderful news indeed, I’ve been looking for a great Kanu PVC statue, and I think I’ve found it. You’re the man Shingo.
Aw, I just got the Hobby Japan version last week and now there’s a version with an interchangeable top? This sucks!
