Pages appeared on the Goodsmile official site today for a pair of new PVC figures coming from Art Storm: Kyoudou Senna, sculpted by Cerberus Project‘s French Doll, and Shion, the work of Cerberus’s Sunny Day. Both are characters from the 2003 Alice Soft eroge Daibanchou, both are 1/7 scale (22 and 20 cm tall respectively), and both are due out in March of ’08 at 6,800 yen retail. Art Storm is reaching into Cerberus’s back catalog here with both of these first appearing in resin form at events in 2004 (Senna, Shion); both sculptors have since improved their craft considerably. Castoff status is unknown, but at least some removal options seem likely; preorders are up for both PVCs at Amiami already, and should appear elsewhere soon. (no more)

Regardless of the fact these both look quite good, suddenly deciding to make PVCs out of stuff from nearly five years ago strikes me as suspicious; I guess we can expect to see a Daibanchou anime adaption at some stage next year.
I don’t wanna come across as a total negative nancy, but that pose is all wrong for Senna. Her fighting pose from Big Bang Beat would have been perfect.
I could come to love it between now and March, though.
Well, Banpresto has been releasing tonnes of stuff about Lupin Third for quite a while, and Lupin and gang are already 40 years old and counting. :)
I don’t mind. At least it allows the adult me to collect stuff I couldn’t afford when I was a child. :)
Anyway, both items look good. Not surprising actually, since they’re from Cerberus. :)
Cute designs but not personally compelling. Seeing Cerberus Project sculpts under one of GSC’s production lines is heartening though, I’d really love to see a PVC production of French Doll’s Melty Blood Ciel. If GSC’s cast-off work with the Shuraki line is any indication, Ciel would be the perfect follow-up in that territory.
