>>Kent A look at this Moeyo post should answer your question: both top and bottom are removable. :3

Hi Shingo, you had stated before that this Movic�s Musubi (race queen ver.) PVC figure is castoffable. Does that mean as usual, just like her previous version & Sekirei Tsukiumi that their top & bottom can be remove?

>>Serf
Nowhere other than the official Movic site has Musubi listed yet. I’ll be sure to make a post as soon as she goes up for general preorder.

Thanks Shingo. I didn’t start visiting your website till Nov 2007, so I haven’t seen the earlier news posts. (still catching up on the reviews postings only). My loss though. 8)

No. We otakus don’t lick our castoffable dollies…;)

Anyway, I usually soak and wash them with warm soapy water after taking them out of the box to remove any residual chemicals on the surface. One cannot take chances with one’s health. Anyway, it doesn’t take more than ten minutes to wash them. 8)

It’s a shame that the Kino figures got delayed indefinitely. Not that I’m getting one though.

Shingo, do you have a FAQ or any other resource that might help someone trying to snag one of those 700 preorder slots?

>>blacklotus We confirmed Musubi's castoff status several months ago here at HD, along with the news a couple of weeks ago that her release was moved back to February. Apparently HJ didn't get the revised date in time to make it to the presses. I haven't heard of anything resembling a product recall here. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's happened, and I've been keeping an eye out for any such news on the figure front (not that I think many of us have a habit of licking PVCs, but better to be safe than sorry).

Thanks Shingo. Learnt what Pepto-Bismol pink means today. (We don’t have that in Singapore. We have a Chinese brand called Po Chai Yi for the same purpose. 8))

And I agree. Should have coloured her Santarina Red instead. She definitely looks castoffable. Hope she will be available internationally. Scheduled for Jan 2008 release. Most webshops will be on holiday till 05 Jan 2008. 8)

BTW, I wonder if anyone has heard any news in Japan for recalls because of excessive toxic stuff in the paint used? Thanks.
