Quite a cute facial expression on this 1/7 scale Kanu figure due out by Griffon next March. Retails for 8,925 yen.
Me probably would pose her without the pantsu though so that she doesn't actually look like shes stripping down. Wonder if they are removable.
See more pics at Hobby Search.

Original text from gurugurutrex below.

After the Ryomou Shimei DD edition DVD inside jacket Ver., here we have Kanu Unchou! Since Griffon Enterprises like to make Ikkitousen figure so much, why did I see this one coming after the Ryomou one? =P

This Kanu figure is sooo sexy in her own way. I think this is the first one that her clothes is not damaged nor have her lower half “eyes” showing but still looks so sexy. To be honest, I really wonder what is it looks like under her skirt. Since it’s under “R-line”, there must be **something** showing. Maybe a bandage or a *cat? =P

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

        She isn't "moe", her appeal angle is that she has a perfect physically mature and well endowed body.

    I'm actually very bored of Ikkitousen figures by now, there is just far too many of them and for me it's overkill. It's getting as bad as Evangelion figures.

      Kanu is Asuka & Ryomou is Rei ^^; Though from the amount of figures, it seems to be the other way around.

          An Ikki Tousen character with hardly any figures eh? Maybe Ryofu Housen, since she's kinda yuri or Ten-I, who hardly has any figures.

    Kanu always gets the "exposure" treatment, not really because it looks better.
    It's basically there to make sure that it sells better.
    Since in the manga and the anime, she is not fully/completely dress for too long =P

    The figurine looks nice but as a fan of Ikkitousen and specifically of kan'u unchou it kind of doesn't 'feel' like her? LOL I'm more fond of this kan-u ( http://animestuff.wordpress.com/2008/11/22/kanu-unchou-take-me-to-the-sky/ ) figurine, definitely the one i'd get before this one ( but i'd still get both LOL ) but the other one kind of captures the 'spirit' of kan-u better because of her proud stance and stern expression that 'is' kan-u! Lol. But nice figurine over-all, it does show her body pretty well.

      I totally agree.

      I'm still looking for the right Kanu figure. All the ones I've seen, including this one, the face is waaaay off. Sure, she looks cute, but it contrasts poorly with her tough-chick personality.

      I'd like to see a Kanu figure with a more serious face. *cue Why So Serious? comeback*

    I love the figures made in Japan, just wanting to buy them when prices make us abandon this idea, here in Chile for example, the figure shown would cost about $ 60,000 Chilean pesos (CLP), but despite of what I love Kanou * O *

    I really love everything about this figure... Her face, lovely expression, lovely hair. Except the fact that she's pulling her knickers down. It's like... Way to ruin an amazing figure for the rest of the world, yes? Even if you remove the panties from her hand, that's quite an unnatural pose. Whyyyyy! D:

    I'd have her hold the pantsu so people will know that she;s not wearing any...

    The pose kinda loses its purpose if the pantsu is removed...she'd be scratching her legs?

    Pretty sure Kanu Unchou is the sexiest anime chick ever .. even though the ikki tousen serious is mediocre at best. Kanu makes the show though. Nice figure

    Looking nice, but since my Kanu collection is already well on its way and this is Griffon, I'll have to pass. The undamaged clothes are a nice change, though.
