Veteran illustrator Tsukasa Jun updated his official site yesterday with two items of note: first, the news that Megahouse‘s Excellent Model CORE Holstein Hanako-san PVC figure who we’ve been tracking since May is expected to finally see release at the end of November. Secondly (and of much greater interest) is the Hanako-san gallery posted synchronously, which reveals the finished version of what we very strongly suspected and in September confirmed: she’s made for an easy upper body castoff. These two bits of information taken together present a formula for very brisk sales indeed, so if you haven’t placed your preorder yet I’d recommend doing so soon. Via Play Asia, perhaps? *cough cough* Pilfered [ERO] gallery below:

It seems cow girls are in season this fall, and I couldn’t be happier. :3
For those on a budget she’s still available for preorder from HLJ and Hobby Search, though a quick search doesn’t turn up any international shops carrying the alternate Guernsey version.
I really dig the abs on this model.
Moo. :3
It’s a great and horrible time to be a collector.
I wish the Guernsey version was available to us international consumers. I prefer the original Holstein, but I would have gotten both versions. Lame.

Agreed, so sexy. :3

Heartily agreed on both counts. I’m guessing there is some place that ships the Guernsey version, but if all else fails you could proxy it from… damn, it seems Hobby Stock preorders are closed. I guess you might have to hit Yahoo Auctions. -_-

I pre-ordered from HS as soon as I saw the post, especially with the final decisive pics of the product, if you know what I meant ^-^
I love Tsukasa’s work, and it seems to translate into figures incredibly well. OSIRIS has really been on point with his recent Mega House EM CORE sculpts too. Looking forward to this one.
I order this from play-asia before I even knew she was castoff……
now that she is castoffable, I am sooooo happy I order her long ago.
Looks like HS’s pre-order list is full after the cast-off fact is confirmed. She was readily available until now. Luckily I pre-ordered my pair as soon as the pre-order option is available since I’m a big Bullet fan, and an even BIGGER cow-girl fan. Somehow girls in cow-suits make me…never mind. :o

Woohoo, a Russian anime fan. :D
Just wanna say: добрый день. мира.
Now, isn’t it nice if our leaders can all get along too? :)
My poor bank account… It won’t see another penny until December…
I love the idea that she’s a cast off, but I just get over the fact that she’s a… cow :(
Aesthetically it just doesn’t appeal to me. Getting it anyway, because I know how my luck works. I’ll not buy it, then see it in a friend’s collection and kick myself for missing out XD
I wish i could get the dark skined version but it go well with the other Daikyo cow-girl model i’ll be getting.
