Armed with a “Guandao” (Chinese Pole Weapon), dressed in beautiful Gothic Lolita outfit and a pair of boots, this hot babe is probably one of the otaku’s dreams - or is she not?

I present you, Kanu Unchou from Ikkitousen!

<Warning! Picture Intensive Post!>

I have watched the first season of Ikkitousen, but didn’t really enjoy it that much as it involved much fighting and fanservice. I won’t say Kanu is one of my favorite characters, but in such an outfit, she’s definitely a must buy for me.

What I really like about this figure is it’s hair. The way it defies gravity but still keeping within limits. Look at how it flows!  

I just love this shot. Can’t find any words to describe it!

 

Don’t let her current appearance fool you as she’ll bully you! I kid you not! As the phrase goes, the scarier on the outlook, the kinder the person is at heart… or so what they say to little kids ^^;

Uchijima Yasuhiro, the sculptor of this figure has done a really good job in making the overall feel of this figure great! Very aesthetically pleasing.

   ^ I don’t mind helping her loosen that knot ;-)

 There is also an option for those who have bought this figure - To cast-off her skirt or not.

I generally prefer it to be left on as it looks pretty weird without it.

Was kind of disappointed when I realized they were white. Wanted them to be lacy or something ^^; 

There are a couple of small paint defects here and there but they don’t seem obvious unless you are really nitpicky and carefully inspect the figure.

Mr Pig tried to steal a peek at Kanu’s pantsu but was terribly roasted and served when Kanu found out ^^; 

I then got Kanu to try her hand at a couple of weapons which she kindly obliged. Should hire Kanu as my personal bodyguard. She’ll take em’ baddies out in no time!

This is a relatively short figure post (words wise) compared to the previous few as I didn’t know what to write. Just let the pictures do the talking ^^; Will make a wallpaper out of the last picture if possible.   

\Photography Notes/

The set-up this time is a little different from the previous photoshoots. Besides the usual lamps, I have used a laundry washing bag that I ’stole’ from one of the hotels during my stay there. It acts like a diffuser + white tent top. Also, used custom WB (White Balance) and a remote shooting using a 400D compatible remote.

Also connected the camera to the laptop via USB to preview pictures on-the-go using EOS Utility.

\Post Processing/

Not much of any form of post processing except for resizing of pictures.
