Kobaru - New Releases

The shinbashi area is a good place to find both an entertainment district and a train station. Actually they are on top of each other around the old elevated tracks. I've also seen some pretty amazing photos of a nighttime festival held at and around the SL square. More drunk office people though than any girls.

The official products were released yesterday, and boy did I get some surprises at their daring 'details'!

 

People at the Toilet set:

Punishment Girl set:

The last set could be easily passed off as female Kamen Rider!

 

 

Salutes Kobaru on the daringness of these sets!

The first and last could be a repaint of an earier figure and with some upgrades (minor paint change) they could be passed off as cosplayers.

Yes rub on is good! More pictures came up on the Kobaru rub on decal sheets on HS:

Now to find out which is number 1, 2, 3 etc or they are already arranged from Left to right 1, 2, 3 etc... If that is the case, number 1 seems to be the most useful ones with the lane markings and the arrows...

I've been hoping something like these sheets would become available before too long. I pre-ordered mine as soon as I first saw the pictures on Hobby Search's website.

BTW the 1999.co.jp site says these will be available from around the middle of November

Just got the HS email that they are shipping

This actually looks good! It's not out for pre-orders yet, right?

 

*Edit - sorry saw this at Ami Ami open for pre-orders and went straight ahead.. At 1290yen it's a good catch and it looks nice, and I need a good looking Koban ~~ :)

OOhhh these are nice! Carpark is a great idea, and bus stops can now be easily applied just about anywhere... I love the idea of the taxi line-up which is so common in Japan especially in front of train stations...

The 'Bus Only' marking is PERFECT for making the Tomytec moving bus system to NOT stand out so much. Stick a few of these on the moving bus lane and you have a 'Bus' Only lane!
