ASCII Media Works (manufactured by WAVE) is going to release the Kawashima Ami ( 川嶋 亜美 ) China Dress Ver. ( チャイナドレスVer. ) PVC figure from the light novel/manga/anime “Toradora!” ( とらドラ! ). Will be released in February 2012. Around 200mm tall, 6,000 yen (taxed in ) + shipping and handling. Dengekiya exclusive.
**Aisaka Taiga China Dress Ver. sold separately**
Here is the Kawashima Ami that we saw in the magazine scans yesteraday! Based on the same illustartion of the Aisaka Taiga China Dress Ver. which was released in November 2010, Dengeki finally decides to give us the Ami! This Ami is made by the same sculptor “Abira” ( アビラ ) from the GK circle “Puradzuma Houriki Model” ( プラヅマ法力模型 ).
Original GK by Abira
The original Ami GK which was first sold at Treasure-Festa 2010 in Ariake 4 had the same pose and facial expression as the original illustration. But somehow they change them in this PVC figure version.

I liked the sitting version better for display with Taiga. Better composition, imo.
Love this figure! Pre-ordered!
I usually don’t approve of changing from the original art, but I gotta say, I like the new pose better. It’s not as dynamic or unique, but the kneeling pose looked kind of awkward.
