Witchblade 1/6 Orchid Seed - Masane Amaha Witchblade Ver

Masane Amaha as the Witchblade by Orchid Seed. I had decided to re-shoot this figure as the earlier picture sets did not do justice to the amazing quality of this figure. Based on designs from the Witchblade Anime from Gonzo, Masane Amaha is depicted in Witchblade battle armour with wrist blade and hair tendrils.

Ikki Tousen 1/6 Griffon - Kanu Unchou Dragon Destiny ver

While waiting for the DvD box version of Kanu Unchou I decided to review Griffon’s China dress version of Kanu Unchou, this is a large figure at 1/6 scale with dynamic pose. Kanu’s recognisable long wave wraps around her to the front of the body with the assistance of built in wires. Her dress is a striking pearled white with coloured rose patterns sporadically painted on.

Ikki Tousen 1/8 Kotobukiya - Hakufu

Ikki Tousen 1/8 Alter - Kanu Unchou

Easily one of my top five purchases of my year, this version of Kanu Unchou is frankly amazing. Alter shows why its top of the game for figure productions with this figure. The sculpt is a imposing visage of the war Goddess Kanu. I would speculate that almost all Ikki Tousen fans have or wish to have this figure in their collections.
