Kanu Unchou Battle Damaged Version - Preorder

Toy manufacturers continue to push Kanu Unchou of Ikkitousen fame on the toy collecting public and there's no slump in sight. Maybe she'll eventually match the girls of Evangelion in terms of longevity in the marketplace. If so, we can expect to see 5-6 new versions of Kanu every year henceforth if history is any guide.

The latest Kanu toy announcement comes from Griffon and the Ikkitousen Dragon Destiny warrior is depicted in a compromising position. She's on all fours and is somewhat sprawled. The "Battle Damaged Version" designation refers to Kanu's shattered clothing. In fact, her clothes are so battle damaged that they're not there any more. She's still wearing her shirt but her skirt has been destroyed and lily-white skivvies are in full view. The figure is set to 1/7 scale and measures 7cm in height. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late December 2008 at JPY7000 or US$72.90 from NCS.
