about takara's 1/6 cool-girl ex machina deunan knute
the dust hasn't even cleared for Hot Toy's 1/6th-Ex Machina Deunan Knute when Takara Hobby's Cool Girl-version (CG) Denuan has hit the net and collecting-community! [teased here] sporting rooted-hair and what seems to be "more" articulation" - HobbyLinkJapan lists it @ 19,800YEN (US$178), while Blister.jp has it @ 17,600YEN-preorder (SRP 20,790YEN). CG-Denuan is slated for a February 2008-drop ~ /// CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMAGES
from the images tis seems the armor-attachments are removable, altho the "finishing" or "craft" may not be as detailed as Hot Toy's (witness the exposed straps on fore-arm armour-attachment) - but then again, that would explain the removable battle-armour, innit? ... will do a side-by-side visual comparison post with a HT-Denuan soon :) - as for articulation, Takara has at least managed to show that Deunan could kneel and wield her primary (compared to only "hero"-stance poses of Hot Toys'), innit? *cool* ... and in the arena of weapons, i'd love to see more details of CG/Takara's before deciding, as it seems HT's looking mighty fine compare to these ... *heh*
