Creators' Labo #024: Tsukasa Bullet - Compact Hog
From its Creators' Labo, Yamato introduces its latest master creation: #024 Tsukasa Bullet's Compact Hog. The second in a series of PVC statues based on the original illustrations of TSUKASA JUN (a.k.a. Tsukasa Bullet), this gorgeous 7.25" (kneeling) figure is magically sculpted by G.O. (Cerberus Project TM) with such exquisite details from her helmet, shoulder armor, and leather outfit to her soft, supple flesh that she nearly jumps to life. It is an outstanding piece of art with unique mixture of cute girl, art deco, and mechanical details. (The piece is named after the gun in the girl's hand, an imaginary piece designed by TSUKASA JUN himself. The compensator of the piece reminds the artist of a hog, hence the name - Compact Hog. Imaginary Gun Specs - Caliber: 45ACP; Capacity: 6 + 1; Barrel Length: 3"; Weight: 31 oz.). Shipping July / August 2010.

Sculpted by French Doll (Cerberus Project TM), this 8.25" PVC statue of Oki Kiki features exquisite details and a dynamic flow from her school jacket to her damaged scarf to her tattered wings. Comes complete with naginata (long handled sword), detachable parts, and base all packaged in a Japanese collector's style window box. So order now before she kiki's you're butt. Oki!
