I don’t know what to say anymore. Here is ANOTHER Taki Ikkitousen figure Tachyon special edition. And only limited to 100 pieces. I guess they do make money this way by having their ugly figure selling as limited edition. Oh, by the way, Taki’s paint job sux big time. =P

Oh my god, is that just blatant purple shading!? I paint GKs and could do better than Taki!
I looks like someone took those flip flops from her and beat her black and blue.
Another Taki Tale:
Once upon a time, there is a place call Taki corporation which manufacture Ikkitousen figures. One day a new worker name Bob came to apply for the job and one of the managers decide to test his painting skill. They brought him 100 Kanu Unchou Swimsuit Ver. figures for him to show his skill in small dark room(Saving energy, dim lights). After painting for 2 days, he realize he was using a darker paint then he should. Realizing he is not gonna get accepted into Taki, he left without saying anything. The boss from Taki walked by and saw all these painted Kanu Unchou Swimsuit Ver. figures and went “Whoa, how did these get painted, I guess I’ll saved another XXX yen from paint jobs for these figures.” Box them up, we only have 100 here, so lets make it a special edition and will only sell 100 copies.
LOL, nice story! XD
Poor Kanu and thats the sad story Taki has there
Well it is taki quality. Who buys these kind of “quality” products tho I can’t imagine…
Even if it is Taki, I will have to say this has to be the worst paint job for their figures I have ever since. How far are they going to fall?
Well, aside from the ??? paint job I think this one looks alright.
Lamentably,yes ,it looks like some absurd made by someone with serious eye problems,probably a DALTONIC.
Poor Kanu it looks like her body isn’t getting enough oxygen rigor mortis is setting in, the brusing of course.
This has got to be one of the finest poses of Kanu. I bought her back in September 2009. All of my anime is of Kanu, with the exception of a few Ryofu, Fate Stay, and Kusami..
When I receive my girls, I leave them out to air, the smell and then by day two rub them down with baby oil. In this case by day two, I also saw what I thought my eyes were deceiving me, the light or tree shading the light, but there was my new Kanu. Her body turning purple, like a disease spreading.
Long story short..it is her hair they have put on her that reacts with her body once she is retreived from her clear window box. I thought oh God,…gone, ruined and yet so beautiful but not this!
I took a chance and stripped her body of the tan coating, removing her clothes, thongs and all, and stripped her body of this purple color. Whenever her hair was near her, it started to spread like a disease, so I kept her hair away. Eventually I ended up throw away the hair and reshaping her head into a regular human head and then repainted her upper crown, re-did her eyes – with bluish eye shadow, pink lips, painted her fingers and toe nails pink and bought – ordered a long, extra long blonde doll wig a three and a half inch doll wig and glued it on her. Different clothes – pink cloth panties, made my own school socks – white,, with a white halter top that ties around her breasts on back of her.
Added real 14kt white gold braclet for her left wrist, along with a real 14kt yellow gold ring for her left finger. To include, I made her a tri-14kt yellow gold chain belt to go around her waist. In all, I have now a much better, and as more..a very beautiful Kanu in this pose. I am so relieved that she looks so better and as beautiful I have hoped to imagine. I would add pictures here, but do not see a way. Perhaps I will put those on my blogsite for those who wish to see the results with Kanu. The purple was removed with three levels of sandpaper – Tamiya, most of my materials were of this brand.
Now I want to see that, please post them.
