I’ll be going for the Kanu one. Looks good.

I agree wholeheartedly about being irritated when the sculptor is not credited. It is an insult to the sculptor of a solid piece, and an insult to the collectors when it’s a crappy piece (if you know who sculpted weak ones, it’s easier to avoid making the wrong choice on iffy figures in the future). I am honestly less likely to buy a figure if the sculptor isn’t credited. That’s not to say it’s a deal-breaker, but it forever annoys me not to know who sculpted a piece. The Mega House Koyori from Sengoku Ace is a perfect example.

Wow, Kanu has cock-eyed nipples.

I’ll give credit where credit’s due. These 3 prototypes do look good. However, since it’s by Taki, I think I have to wait until the actual pvc figures are out. Also, I dislike the fact that Taki don’t credit the sculptor.

Ryomou is really the only pose that’s not…. awkward-ish. The others don’t look ‘natural’.

God, did any of that make sense? =p

Damm- Nurses and sexy poses along with Ikkitousen characters are win win win….

How could they screw it up that badly….

Heh, I think they just stick to producing these wonderful little figures:

Seems like some of that one ended up in our beloved Ikki vixens :(

>>DJnerate
Agreed. I think these are a cautious step forward for Taki in terms of the sculpts (Ryomou’s face is the most accurate I’ve seen from them yet) but I’m still on the fence.

>>Deibi Manabu
When they’re finally produced they’ll probably end up as hideous hellbeasts like most of the other things Taki has put out thus far, alas.

>>suneo
I’m with you there. Despite the high probability of failure I’m still tempted. :/

>>johnny barracuda
Thanks, I spotted those at Amiami last night as well but in the heat of other updates didn’t have time to add them here before I went to bed. The post is now updated with the newly available images.

>>Supabota
That’s my current assessment as well… if I do go for these Kanu and Ryomou seem like the two with potentially redeeming qualities, the Hakufu I can definitely skip.

>>Y
She might not end up that bad… really. Maybe. Or maybe not. :(

I find it funny that Ryomou is the one with the castoffable top, and not Kanu. I’ll probably pickup these two and skip Hakufu.

With one look you can tell that they are Taki creations, but I think they are getting (slightly) better lol

What doesn’t seem right about these is the fact Taki is behind their production! @_@

I like nurses and I like all three characters, but something just doesn’t seem right with these. Damn Taki Corporation.
