Uart does an amazing job with this 1/7th scale figure of Ryomou Shimei. Scheduled to arrive at my dealer's on Friday, I'll probably snag a few of them. Hopefully the paint job on the mass productions are just as good looking as the pics here. Uart has a good track record and their figures tend to be just as good as Good Smile Company's. She'll probably go right next to my Fighting Sonsaku piece.

Here's an extra treat for today. Here's some pics of the best Kanu figure to date. This one is not available in the states nor is it ready for pre-order as of this post but once it is, you can bet I'll snag one for myself. This is a work of art in all aspects and in price. At about 20000 yen or roughly $190, she'll cost a bit. Thanks to
Danny Choo for originally posting about this amazing piece.

Here's a great Ikkitousen figure; the Black dressed Sonsaku Hakufu Cerberus figure by UART. This recently arrived in my store this week and I its worth talking about. This figure of course looks great from every angle and is actually rather large. The box is about 14 inches long and the figure is roughly 9-10 inches tall. I wasn't able to keep any that I got in my first shipment since they sold so fast. The pictures you see are the stock photos and I'll gladly do some pics of my own once I can snag one. If you are a fan of Sonsaku, this figure won't disappoint. From what I can tell this is not a cast-off figure but that doesn't matter. There's a bit of fan service in this one from certain angels if you are into that. As you can see from the pictures, the figure looks smooth and fine-tuned, just simply great detail. The only negative I can find might be her teeth. Her eyes, face and body are definitely Sonsaku and thus will be on my display some time soon.

Oddly enough I've only seen only a bit of this very popular series and the little I've seen easily begs for more. Of course I have almost all the figures since practically every
figure that comes out of Kanu, Sonsaku, Ryomou Shimei, and Ryofu Housen are the top sellers for obvious reasons. This anime has probably caused the most nosebleeds with the enormous amount of almost-hentai fan service. Great Guardians is the name of the new third season coming out in a few months and there will be more characters, fighting and panty shots. More info at
