GA Graphic brings the scoop this evening with a full gallery of Solid Theater’s Himomizugi no Onna no Ko (“string swimsuit girl”), the first new release announced from the brand following its acquisition by Movic. As promised the original Solid Theater brand name is retained, though distribution is now credited to the parent company. This may be the first time full details on the PVC release have been compiled in one place: the kit is based on the September 2006 cover illustration by Miwa Miwa of eromanga serial magazine Monthly Comic Papipo (月刊COMICパピポ), which has since ceased publication. The sculpt was produced by Shinano, who other than a few capsule figures has been active primarily on the garage kit side ([ERO] Karen from Ai no Chikara and Sumire from Jokei Kazoku ~Inbou~ with circle Gankura). The figure is scheduled for release in August at 1/8 scale (20 cm tall) and 7,140 yen retail. We’ll be on the lookout for preorder listings, which should be appearing shortly. (no more)

Shinano sculpted a previous Solid Theater PVC of a maid character that was also from the cover of a eromanga. There was a Hobby Stock exclusive blond repaint if memory serves.
Oh, he did the “Maid no Onna no Ko”? I have that, but never got around to reviewing it. Now that you mention it I do see the similarity… And there she is. Durr… should’ve done my homework a bit better on that one, thanks for bringing it up.
Archived here in case the listing disappears when Solid Theater’s official site moves to Movic.
*gulp* she looks fantastic
Finally! I have been waiting for this to somehow solidify. It has been making me nervous, because she looks amazing. Well, I suppose the wait isn’t over until the preorders are open.
Wow…she looks great. I wish she had barefeet-but for now she is gonna get a pass.
She really does look fantastic, I’m very seriously considering a preorder once she’s listed by my sources. I was really impressed by that GA gallery.
Oh and Shingo, you are very welcome.
