After her unveiling yesterday on Orchid’s official site we assumed it would only be a matter of (short) time before her preorder became widely available, and it seems we were right: Hobby Stock has a preorder listing up today for Orchid Seed’s Tsuzuki Shiori (bikini ver.) PVC figure, with other shops presumed to follow shortly. I’ll be watching Amiami like a hawk… In other news from Orchid, they’ve announced a new “amaloli” color version of their recently released gothic lolita Ryofu Housen PVC figure. This pink dress version is apparently limited to sale via wholesale supplier Shinpo, and release is expected in the spring (preorders close on January 25th) at 6,800 yen retail. On the garage kit side of things, the Linda-designed Q-Six resin kit we reported on earlier this month went up for preorder and back down again with astonishing speed, with the first wave of production shipping on the 28th. Horribly color-reduced GIF images of the [ERO] kit can be found here. We’ll be on the lookout for further news on all of these items as it comes to light. (no more)
























Linda is looking real good, other than her chocolatey left leg :>
As an aside, Xecty from Shining Wind has come out today. Any word on her supposed castoffability?
I’ve got no word on Xecty’s castoff potential as of yet. Will post if anything turns up, though.
Tsuzuki Shiori is a really tempting purchase! All that’s left is the confirmation on the cast-off feature for me to pre-order this voluptuous figure! O_O
Posters on 2chan are speculating that she’ll be an “unofficial castoff”, given that she’s from a mainstream anime and there’s no castoff precedent from other Witchblade figures. I doubt she’s as fully finished underneath as many other Orchid castoffs, but I’m guessing her top will be removable with relative ease… though that’s pure speculation at this point.
It seems that Xecty has is castoffable.

Sadly it looks like we’ll need to break the upper shirt.
(And worst of all is that my preorder won’t arrive until february,and I want it NOW)

Haha, I was about to post a similar picture from 2chan. You’re being misled by that one, though – the nipples aren’t finished. I don’t know how I feel about these half-assed castoff jobs; I wish they’d either go all the way or glue the clothing on in a way that clearly meant it wasn’t supposed to be removed. I guess it’s the reward for those with good figure modding skills…
Here’s a picture that tells the true story. ;_;
Oh,I fell in that one like a kid.
(Mental note:when global domination is achieved ban those fakes under death penalty)
That was fast. 8(
Then again, Q-Six kits are always hot sellers.
Guess I have to look for recast versions now. I don’t suppose they will produce a few more batches right?
Also, this sold-out Linda kit doesn’t have the panty-less version included right? Wonder what happened to the special parts version…
As a consolation, I pre-ordered Shiratori already. 8D
Thankfully the Ryofu amaloli version is not an exclusive. Preorder is up at Hobby Search
>>blacklotus
This sold out Linda kit does indeed include the “special parts” version, and they’ll probably produce more that also include that version if past behavior is any indicator. I’d keep a sharp look out with a proxy service at hand if you’re interested in supporting the creators here, as for once it’s actually doable thanks to their online order system.
If you’re referring to the Questioners Amane PVC, where is she up for preorder? I haven’t seen any news to that effect…
>>Y
Yeah, it seems she’s only exclusive in that there’s a single wholesaler distributing her instead of being up for grabs from a variety of them.
Thanks Shingo. Definitely interested in the original Linda kit. Already had quite a number of Q-Six items. And I rather buy the originals. The bootlegs aren’t exactly value for money nowadays. PM me (blacklotus) Thanks.
BTW, you don’t have a spare Milk Tank
Teacher NeNe kit + special parts that you’re willing to part with, do you? Just asking. I’m still looking for that…PM me (blacklotus) if you ever want to part with that kit or auction it. I do have a spare completed version of NeNe. Thanks.
Oops. Sorry about that Freudian blooper. It’s the Shiori pvc figure that I pre-ordered. 8O
