Ikkitousen Kanu Unchou by Daiki Kogyou - Preorder

We're admittedly apathetic towards pretty much any Kanu Unchou figure that's headed our way over the next few months. We have approximately 30 of them in our private collection that have been accumulated over the past few years and we don't want any more.

That is, until we saw Daiki Kogyou's stunning rendition of Kanu as a Shinto shrine maiden in the vein of Koyori (aka Miko) of Sengoku Ace/Cannon fame. The upcoming figure is sculpted to 1/6 scale and measures 28cm or 11.02" tall. Kanu wears a traditional red hakama (skirt) and tabi on her feet. Shrine maiden normally wear a white kimono shirt with fluttering sleeves but this is Kanu. She slings the kimono shirt on her back and braves the world wearing only white bandages which cover her bosom.

Kanu is armed with the legendary Blue Dragon Crescent Spear and a wooden base is included for display purposes. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late Dec 2008 at JPY16590 or US$178.90 from NCS. «Photos»
