I've had some trouble with them, but nothing disastrous or that would require breaking the kit in a way that didn't look fine when put together again. >>J0tar0Kjo, HengLon

Just a note that this post contains further information on Chibusa’s castoff procedure.

>>HengLon

I don’t know whether it’s more appropriate to ascribe that trait to Wafuudou’s figures, to Cerberus Project figures, or to Wafuudou’s Cerberus Project figures specifically. It might be attributable to the snug-fitting sculpts more than anything… I’ve had some trouble with them, but nothing disastrous or that would require breaking the kit in a way that didn’t look fine when put together again.

Indeed a natural looking pair of breasts is provided, but they aren't coverable, there isn't a piece of cloth provided to do so. This is very regrettable, otherwise I would be purchasing her after in a flash after this great review.

Makes me wonder if this is a particular design characteristic for Wafuudou Ganguten's figurines?

The castoff big boobs is sort of connected to both arms via 4 glued points at the end of her her shoulder pads (the 4 orange coloured ties). These don't seem to be able to be put back once removed.

Thanks for the review Shingo, I had no idea at all she was castoffable, really chuffed now since she's on her way as of early last week.
