I saw this one for no less than $700 when I looked for it again recently lol. I got it for $220 when I bought her two years ago, and I’m sure glad I did.

She is expensive indeed, and rare as hell too. Relatively, anyway. Gee, my favorite anime figures … Uesugi Kenshin takes the #1 spot and has an eternal hold on it. Volks’s Senhime is #2, and I have to re-do her review because I have the original Volks figure now. Two of them, actually. E2046′s Dark Magician was #3, but I’m thinking Metatron might have taken over that spot.

I’ve just started collecting figures, and: Damn right you should be glad you bought it! I cant find this one for any cheaper price than 400!
So which are your top favourite figures?

There are a ton of Kanus out there but I think that this one is still by far the best one. Red, black, or purple hakama, they’re all amazing. I’m really glad I got this figure after I waffled really long and hard on buying her, since paying like $170 or whatever her price tag seemed insane to me at the time. It’s funny how I don’t even blink at that sort of price if there’s something I really want.

What a place indeed! Kanu Unchou was also my first anime figure (well, the first one that I count, I have some old Sakura Taisen figures but I have no idea who manufactured them) but I got Yamato’s old SIF EX one and it’s not nearly as good, in the same way that Slippery Rock University’s football team is not as good as the New England Patriots.

This figure still holds a place of honor in my collection (as it should; it was the first one I ever bought). Funny thing about it though; when I initially purchased her she was listed as the black version. Unfortunately when I received her I was surprised to find that it was in fact the red version. I was somewhat irritated at first, but I quickly got over it. Red or Black, this figure is nothing short of incredible (not to mention really f’n expensive; what a place to start).

Thanks! I guess they figured that they wanted to make the black version a little bit edgier. Or maybe it was a cynical ploy to get people to double-dip after getting the red version, since nothing gets people to shell out twice like boobs. The source is volume 13, I think; I only remember this because I was curious what the asking price is for a used copy so I recently searched for it on eBay and YJA.

Yeah, I think she looks best in red or black. In fact, I’ve forgotten how good she looks; I ought to rotate her back onto my desk, where I put all my favorite figures of the moment.

Yeah this is a damn good looking figure – current number two on my wish list – still want Enter Brain’s Selvaria Bles most of all.

Very nice photos and the setting does seem very suitable!

Gotta agree that the bandages should probably be more opaque – the colour coming through is a bit disconcerting. This version was the one I liked most initially, but the red version has the advantage of being loyal to the source material – The Book 12(?) cover or whatever number it is – I could go and check but can’t be bothered.

Have also seen the purple version of this, but that just appears a little strange – think I’ll have to go for either the black or red eventually.

>> Shiddo
Haha, yeah, the transparency looks sorta strange. Sometimes it looks to me like her chest is wounded and blood is seeping through her bandages.

>> Blowfish
It took me a long time to decide to buy her but I’m glad I did. She’s probably one of my top five favorite figures that I own now.
