Shimazo has more pics of this Shueisha 1/8 scale figure of Haruna due out in September.
PPP looks nice but not too sure about the face. PPP is the new acronym for "Pose, Paintwork and Pantsu." Do pantsu have ribbons in your region too or is it a Japan thing?

    i've been here a year and I still don't know what ba la ba ba ba means.

    I wouldn't really know anything about ribbons in pantsu here, probably only for kids, and i wouldn't be snooping around the local department store to confirm it. Imagine the looks i'd get

          I believe it's because of how the "I'm loving it" sounds more like "I'm rubbing it" as pronounced in japanese ads, Am I right?

    I haven't seen an pantsu with a ribbon on it in my entire life, in germany.
    But i have seen a Jeans where the back of one of the tush pockets was pierced and a laced ribbon was bound truh them, did look cool somehow.
    The frilly stuff is no problem... not my taste though, but a ribbon... no... are they really that common in Japan? I never did bother to check Japanese lingerie shops, since i bring enough undies with me on travels and only visit shops that have stuff i can't get in germany. ^^;

    I can tell U there are ribbons on some pantsu designs overall lol but those decorative ribbons can come off after a few washes if not careful :P usually if wearing a more form fitted outfit you would prefer not to have ribbons or lace on underwear tho ^^:

    Yeah Danny, I was kinda thinking about that on my blog too...

    I'm starting to use so many "Otaku language" that sometimes people won't understand what I'm trying to say.

    I'll probably just include something on the "About..." page.

    You should add なかだし and たまけり to the list while you're at it. Hahaha. Man, Japanese is so pure sometimes, for as euphemistic as other languages (English, for one) can be about things, Japanese is actually straightforward about terms like nakadashi and tamakeri.

    One of my students wore a large blue ribbon in her hair the other day and I was so distracted by its seemingly out of place-ness.

    Never before had I seen anyone in Australia wear a ribbon and it was ... very strange.

    Great Figure by the way, although I tend to collect books and manga over the more physical manifestations.

    In my experience, ribbon pantsu are more common with young girls. I know I had some when I was a little.

    I pre'd her but I'm nervous because I've never gotten a figure made by Piccoro before and the LaLa counterpart they made looks awful in prototype pis, but I think Haruna looks cute. I like how her skirt flares but she'll be going on a lower shelf because I'm not a panties fiend. But since I'm getting the Alpha Omega LaLa and Golden Darkness I've been wondering if I should cancel this one if it's going to be inferior quality.
