Online shop Web Omocha posted a listing this evening for yet another PVC incarnation of Ikkitousen‘s Kanu Unchou, a castoffable swimsuit version from infamous maker Taki Corporation. This new figure is a measurable departure from earlier entries in their Kanu lineup, firstly due to the price – a relatively modest 7,140 yen retail. Unlike previous versions she only comes with a single costume and is very slightly smaller roughly the same size at 25 cm tall (no scale specified Amiami’s listing pegs her at 1/7 scale); from the images available it seems the face sculpt may be a significant improvement over former attempts as well, though no sculptor information is specified. She’s set for release in June, so we’ll see then if this is the turning of a new leaf for Taki or merely another page in their sordid history of unfortunate figure creations. Images below:
Finally a Taki Kanu I can buy without shame? Can it be? ;_;

Let’s believe ! looks promising !
most definitely a marked improvement over their previous attempts…still need to work on the oppai and cast off features though… Taki’s oppai sculpts (whoever they are from) always seem to look “fake,” kind of like they are horrible, terribly done implants, and their cast-off clothing should be a bit more form-fitting.
Taki sure loves their Ikkitousen though hm?
Oo, worth a look.
…wow… I think I… want this one.
Would like a better look at her face before deciding, but I am really tempted.
Will most deffinately get this one, can’t really see any faults thus far.
I never though I’d say this towards a figure released by Taki Corp…But here goes –> “I like, I like, I LIKE!!!” XD
Definitely one of their better looking Kanu figures. Looks like I will be adding it next to the first two Kanu PVCs Taki Corp made.
Oh my goodness… my jaw just dropped. This year is like “Year of Kanu”. xD So many announcements and new releases. Those tan lines are pretty sexy.
Truthfully, I hate how many Kanu renditions we see flying out the door every month. But this one, along with Orchid Seed’s Summer Vacation model, might have to top my list of pre-orders.
^^^ Seriously, correct me if I’m wrong (which I probably am) but from my standpoint of a casual observer it seems like Kanu has had more figure incarnations than any other gal around. She certainly ain’t bad to look at, but there’s such a thing as oversaturation. Would be nice for the fans of her to finally get a version that’s not censored though.
Well, if even Tandem Twin’s original sculpts looks bad, I guess we should be more generous and let this Taki’s sculptor develop and improve his/her skills.
I guess this will be a definite pre-order for me. Hope I won’t be disappointed in the final product.
And hopefully, Taki will credit their sculptors real soon. 8)
I must say that this is a definite improvement, but I’ll wait. I still have hardly any money to spend these days..
Very nice. I’ve ordered Orchid Seed’s swimsuit Kanu already so this may have to wait.
