We first saw her at WHF Ariake 17 and then again at Wonder Festival, and thanks to a Hobby Channel update last night we now have the release details for Yamazaki Kouichi‘s (TANDEM TWIN) Doubutsu Nee-chan Inu Brenda, coming from Yamato as an alternate color version of their earlier announced Bonnie. According to the Hobby Channel post Brenda is scheduled for release in September at 8,190 yen retail, 18 cm tall (scale unspecified), and comes with several option parts including base, glasses, eye mask, exchangeable chest part and face part, handcuffs, and ankle cuffs. With her listed at Hobby Channel we can expect preorders to appear shortly. Images below:

Jeepers- did Bonnie come with the handcuffs? Sweet jeebus…….that’s a deal for me….
She looks so hot to with the chain leash being held by Annerose………
Oh god; which one should i get!?
there seem to be subtle differences like blonde bonnie has her tongue sticking out, but it sounds like brenda has more optional parts.
I guess its going to come down to color schemes.
Thye both come with optional faces. They both come with that zipper eye thing.
Have we seen any pictures of her altertnate chest?
I can’t remember.
Okay, now Yamato USA has got to list it so that I can preorder it. I massively prefer this version over the standard Bonnie, and as a huge Tandem Twin fan it’s a total no-brainer for me.
Oh yeah, for anyone wondering she’s basically a really big 1/6 Scale. Most Tandem Twin’s are 1/6 Scale-ish and she’s a companion piece to the Alma & AnneRose Inu/Dog Girl (as pictured above), which is a really big 1/6 (though I believe officially non-scale).
I think the alter bare chest pictures are found in Tandem Twin’s site.
Yeah. Bonnie and Brenda are both hot. I want them both. (The handcuffs and anklecuffs seal the deal for me. Also, Yamato’s recent figure releases are actually of good quality, as compared to their troubled Macross Valks)

Bonnie didn’t come with the handcuffs, they’re unique to Brenda. The face options they come with are different for each kit; Brenda doesn’t come with the tongue-out face. We have not seen any pictures of Brenda’s alternate chest yet, only Bonnie’s.

I’m kind of regretting ordering Bonnie now that I’ve seen this, and I’m feeling a bit like they hoodwinked me into the temptation of ordering both. Sigh… I’m holding off on Brenda for the time being, but the longer I look the more my will crumbles.
Regarding the scale, I agree with your assessment and I’m sure the published listing will as well whenever Yamato gets around to updating their description (if ever). I probably should have included that estimate in the original post, but I’ve been erring on the side of caution of late so as not to misrepresent any aspect of any figure I post about… it tends to come back to haunt me if I do. :/

The bare chest pictures are currently only available for Bonnie, not Brenda yet. I’ll be keeping an eye out for those.
Dang. I like the colour of the version better than Bonnie, red is good. I think I may very well cancel my Bonnie pre-order and get Brenda instead.
I like Bonnie’s color scheme more than Brenda’s, it makes her seem more innocent and when paired with the dominant Alma or Annerose gives off a more erotic air.
Dangit!! I like the tounge out face- but I’m going for the bondage!!
Thank you for the updates Shingo!!
The one thing I really appreciate wrt Yamato figures is that they are really generous with the size. Most of their standing kits are about 1 foot tall. (Compare to Orchid’s overestimation of their 1/6 or 1/7 scale figures, which are actually closer to 1/8 or 1/9 scale figures…)
Agreed- the Tandem Twin pvcs are quite generous in size. I have a few and they are NICE- some of the better ones I own.
