Kurushima Kanu Uncho at a previous Wonfes and immediately fell in lurve with her. I tried not to fall too much in lurve with her because I cant make kits.
Luckily, the good folks at Kurushima decided to release a fully painted cold cast version of her. Even luckier, I was able to acquire one from beNippon ^^
This is the first cold cast figure in my collection - previous to owning her I had no idea what they were like.
She came thoroughly packaged in polystyrene. Her fringe, right arm and swirling hair had to be assembled with some super glue but no biggie.
Kanu's weapon of choice.
Shes quite heavy and cold to the touch. Not too familiar with the processes involved but I hear that cold cast kits are made without heating up the liquid before its poured into the cast? Any experts here that can give us a lowdown on PVC, ABS, Resin and Cold Cast?
Theres not much shadowing on her skin so if you want her curves to stand out then you are going to have to place spot lights near her.
Its been raining in Tokyo for the past few days which is why today's figure shoot is indoors but would like to take some more pics of her when the sun is out.
She comes with a what appears to be a heavy polished wooden base with a hole in it - her right foot has a metal peg in it which holds her in place.
And to answer the question of why there are so many Kanu figures - I dont know the exact answer but after speaking to figure making comrades, it seems that its not only easy to get a license for the Ikkitousen girls, but also easy to get approval to make figures of them with their eyes hanging out all over the place ^^;
A figure maker first has to get permission (license) to make a figure. The maker then makes the figure but then still has to get final permission before it goes into production.
This is the reason why you see "No Photos" or "監修中" [かんしゅうちゅう] next to figures at a show - it means that they are still in the process of getting final permission to put the figure into production.
Some license holders will say "yeah sure" but some will say "change the color of the pantsu" or "make the skirt non-castoffable."
A perfect example is the Max Factory scale Haruhi Figure. The pantsu color was originally orange and notice how they ended up gluing the skirt down - even though they designed the figure to be castoffable.
Now back to the Kurushima Kanu figure.
If I had any complaints it would be that they made the pupils to prominent - you can see them a mile away through her torn sailor fuku! ^^;
Not really a complaint but would have preferred a more moe expression.
Her loose socks could be more loose though.
Shes standing at the moment to the left of my Apple Cinema display with the light shining from below the glass table looking very smexy indeedee.
One of my fave shots.
Survival Japanese time.
"Kirei na oppai desu ne" [奇麗なおっぱいですね] = "What a nice pair of eyes you have."
You should use this the first time you meet a nice girlie.
Survival Japanese time 2.
"Kirei na oshiri desu ne" [奇麗なお尻ですね] = "What a nice bottom you have."
You should use this the first time you meet a nice girlie or chappie.
Survival Japanese time 3.
"Kaminoke kirei desu ne" [髪の毛ですね] = "What lovely hair you have."
You should use this the first time you meet a nice gorilla.
"Ketsu" [ケツ] is another form of "bottom" but is a bit vulgar and should not be really used.
"Shitapai" [したぱい] is the word for the bottom part of eyes ^^;
Your kinda figure or showing too much for your liking? Which brings me to a question - do you hide any of your more sexy figures when your parents/friends are about? Do you find yourself replacing the skirt before folks walk in your room?
MM grabs a bite to eat.
Hmmmm.You can almost smell her fart. Ah, my mistake. Kanu does not fart.
Kanu is 1/6 scale, 26cm tall and retails for 20,790 yen.
Caption that photo.
Which do you prefer - this Kurushima or Alter Kanu Uncho?
Thanks once again to beNippon - unfortunately this is sold out but beNippon have other Ikkitousen goodies. By Danny Choo on 2008/08/26 13:33
