The face looks a bit different from the original illustration but still looking good. More pics at Hobby Search.

Original text from wcloudx below.

Really nice looking figure by Orchid Seed scheduled for May 2009 release ^^

Although the price is a little bit hefty for a 1/8 scale figure at 9,300 retail price.

She's up for preorders now at Hobby Search ^^

  To keep the temperature in check? It looks like a twin thermometer to me. First mecha musume that I thought looked decent o.o

Looks really cool. I'd order her if I could afford it. And I think her face needs more blush on the figure version compared to the illustration.

Is she keeping scalpels in her her pantsu?!? O___o

I like the decals on the mecha thing on her back, though I wonder if they can pre-order such detail on the retail figure. The thermometers are rather too ecchi, even for me.

The thing that really held me back is the ugly seam lines on the front of her uniform (3rd picture in http://www.amiami.com/shop?vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=FIG-MOE-0547&template=review.html )

Overall, it looks nice, but I guess I'll pass.
