Definitely getting her! This is one nice figure from Griffon, and may be the first good one I’ll get from them..

I love the new Tandem- But I already ordered the original and I can’t afford to get all the repaints too. Oh well.

Great info though!! Do I have to wait until march though to get her??? Awwwwwwwwwwww

I love Yamato and Tandem Twin’s PVCs, and Anne-Rose is a no-brainer for my collection. Big, to scale, beautifully sculpted, and the repaints are always very different, also this one has a different chest armor piece.

Funny how the 1/7 is more expensive than the 1/6.

Strangely I have no Haruhis on my shelf yet… must correct the anomaly soon.
Looking at Griffons site, it seems resin kits are now just a sideline – I stopped making these when one too many figures I’d built were subsequently issued as PVC! PVC figures are also much harder to pirate… fairly soon actual kits will go back to being a very niche interest for the more obscure (or extreme) subjects larger manufacturers won’t touch.

Thanks for the scoop. Hmm…the Gothic Lolita Haruhi looks really good. Will keep an eye out for her. 8)

As for Anne-Rose, I expected as much from Yamato with a re-colour version. I guess I will order 1 of her too. 8) One thing I like about Tandem Twins figures is that they are big (30cm) and to scale. No cheating unlike some manufacturers (Orchid Seed…) we know. 8)
