Torrance, CA, NOVEMBER 20, 2006 - On the leading edge of Japanese pop culture, Yamato USA, the North American division of the Yamato Group with headquarters in the otaku capital of the world - the Akihabara district of Tokyo, Japan, is pleased to announce the opening of pre-orders for the latest in one of Yamato's most popular lines: TANDEM TWIN Animal Girls Series: Leopard Girl - Schell.

TANDEM TWIN Animal Girls: Leopard Girl - Schell PVC Statue
Yamato is exceeding pleased to announce the newest edition to its TANDEM TWIN Animal Girls collection, Leopard Girl - Schell. Japanese sculptor Kouichi Yamazaki (TANDEM TWIN) has gone to the extreme limits to bring us the puuuurrrr-fect queen of the jungle. But be warned! Schell is on the hunt, tempting her prey in ever closer before she pounces... and her next victim could be you! Think you can resist? Schell also features a removable torso which can be switched out with option parts (not included) where she'll bare all, turning this pretty kitty into a voluptuous vixen.

But Schell wouldn't be a TANDEM TWIN original without a twin. Joining Schell is her equally seductive twin, Leopard Girl - Cloe. And like her twin, Cloe features a removable torso which can be switched out with option parts. Leopard Girl - Schell & Cloe follow in the footsteps of Animal Girls Lynx - Ruby & Emerald, and the soon to be release Animal Girls Lynx - Topaz & Amethyst and Animal Girls Sheep Girl - Worara & Merino.
