Nightbat Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) Well, some of you may have seen the 1/5.5 DOA Kasumi that was released by Max Factory: Kasumi #1 This thing sold like hotcakes, so it was gone before I could make a decision Now it's being reissued in may but looking through HLJ's DOA inventory, I suddenly saw this one added: Kasumi #2 Allbeit in 1/6 scale and a "C2 Ver." added to it,... but what is the difference??? I checked Max Factory's website to find 2 release-dated Kasumi's seemingly both in the same pose (I can click pics,... but my japanese is somewhat nonexistant) anybody able to explain these 2 releases?

JB0 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 C2 likely means "costume 2". Which, if I remember correctly, is the same thing in white instead of blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 C2 likely means "costume 2".Which, if I remember correctly, is the same thing in white instead of blue. Gee, not like we havent seen that in the Gashapon DOA figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Hey, I didn't say it was a good reason to redo the thing. It's just my bet on the actual diffrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightbat Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 Thanks JBO Though why this release would be 1/6 instead of 1/5.5 (but who would see the difference) beats me unless Max F. screwed up their scale on the first Kasumi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeo-mare Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 i like the original color better, but i wish it could be done in the skimpier version, Was this just released by Max factory???? i have seen this resin kit recast for years now, whats up with that???

NERV Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 perhaps the resin kit has been aorund for years but this is a PVC statue, prebuilt and prepainted, if the production ones look as good as the test models then it's damn nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 the pics shown look identical to the professionally built up resin ones i have seen, though Max Factory has always been good in my book with paintjobs so i look forward to seeing this. as for baseing it on the resin kit, maybe they did. i have seen a officially released FF X Yuna PVC that is identical to a resin kit that has been around for quite some time as well. so it is very possible. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightbat Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 (edited) Found some conformation on another site that it's indeed the mighty tighty whitey they had it on preorder there too,... for €100+ Edit: Hell, HLJ might as well get my paycheck Edited February 25, 2005 by Nightbat® Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 (edited) Mentioning this because DOA/Kasumi fans are likely also NG/Ayane fans, there's a statue of Ayane in her NG outfit: http://www.hlj.com/product/KBYSV-04 Diamond is going to import it to the US in April, should be $40. There's also a matching very cool Ryu. http://www.hlj.com/product/KBYSV-03 Kasumi always gets more/better figs than Ayane, this is the first Ayane where the face doesn't suck. There's many Ayane figs, but I still don't own any because none have a face that looks like hers at all. (Ayane is WAY high up on my list of game/anime characters--I like purple hair) Now I'll finally be able to have an Ayane.
