I'm happily married and I *still* want to go out and buy this Kanu. Simply Amazing. Thanks, Shingo! Oh my gawd. I’m happily married and I *still* want to go out and buy this Kanu. Simply Amazing.

I've liked this one since I first saw it.

How wrong is that? ^^ I don't have a striking affinity with Kanu anyway, so not in my forseeable future.

Regarding the face, I think it’s personal preference, not the pictures. I don’t really like having her face hidden by all the hair, and the face itself isn’t quite as Kanu-ish as I’ve gotten accustomed to.

I understand your comment about Mitsumasa, but I just can't get enough of his realism + signature style + basis art = final sculpt approach. With being a big Shunya Yamashita fan as well, their collaborative efforts and the fact that REFLECT reproduces Shunya's art in 3D better than anyone also plays a big roll. So where the hell is the Vispo Asuka w/Motorcyle PVC + Die-cast bike any-damn-way? When it eventually comes... the price tag will send otaku the world over into the couch cushions for every last penny or yen they can find. >>Shingo

You have to hook them into holes in the shackles, it's a bit tough but if you do it as instructed on the card that comes with the kit it's not too bad. Oh, you're asking about the shackles themselves. They're plastic, and each in two separate parts - they crack in half like an egg, and you just snug them around her wrists. Hope that makes sense, I can take a picture of the process if you'd like. >>oopai power

Yeah, I'm cheating pretty badly here... I guess I don't have one ironclad favorite sculptor, I tend to follow the themes and if an unknown talent sculpts something promising I'll enjoy it regardless of prior exposure. That said, I definitely have a "thing" for Vispo that may be similar to your taste for Toushirou. I like Mitsumasa (Reflect) a lot too, but he's not quite prolific enough for me to swear fealty to him in the same way... >>the_pseudokings

I'm sure my Toushirou worship makes that conclusion no surprise to Shingo, but never the less, I had to say it, and it's true. I take issue with some of the comments made about Kanu here in the "responses" section. Exactly what part of being chained up is going to make it easy for Kanu to look happy and brush her hair? Would some of you prefer she "put on a happy face" no matter how demented that would end up looking? Come on. Anyway, excellent review Shingo and excellent figure Yamato! Can't wait for mine... but I have too. Shingo, I'm curious, who are your 3-5 favorite sculptors right now? I'm going with #1 TOUSHIROU! (of course), #2 REFLECT, #3 Sunny Day, #4 French Doll & #5 Takeshi Hamasaki. #3-#5 are basically always in flux, but I really think Toushirou & REFLECT are the best. Current honorable mentions to Zenko, Eiichi Ishida, OSIRIS, & Tanaka Senu. I knew it. 10/10 all the way.

First would be the bangs. They're too long and obscure the face too much. Next is the seams on the panties. They look rough, and don't match up well with the legs. I guess the arm is pretty stupid too, as it wouldn't display with the figure too well. Great review! ^_^ From the pictures, I find a few things I personally don’t like. First would be the bangs.
