Figure maker Orchid Seed updated their official site today with a listing for a black hair version reissue of their Chichinoe+ figure. Her specifications are identical to the original blond version released last year, with a sculpt from Ishiyama Satoshi, 1/6 scale (actually closer to 1/8 at 21 cm long), 6,800 yen retail, with release planned for August (expected in January or February of next year). The design is from the cover of Inoue Takuya’s Chichinoe+ artbook; further details are available at our review of the original release. Images below:
Preorders are already open at Amiami, so they should follow elsewhere soon.
Hmm, I recall that a similar repaint was a wanfesu limited figure in the early part of the year…
Are you sure you weren’t thinking of the Chichinoe+2 repaint? I’m drawing a blank on a reissue of the first kit, though I vaguely recall that too.
Ah! I remember now! I confused this one with the Brown-hair version from WF2007″… ^_^;;
Banzai! No backtracking for the blonde orginal for me – I am rather taken with this raven haired incarnation of Ishiyama’s Chichinoe. A welcome reissue to be sure ^_^
Hell yeah. Didn’t care much for blonde hair, but I fap to black hair. I hope they don’t use the same skin tone as Chichinoe+ 2.
Nice, but I’ve already got the blonde so I’m happy. Not too much “bloom” on the roses in these pics.:p
Very nice. Might have to pick this one up. I prefer black to blonde as well. :D
