Dollfie dream Kanu Unchou

Introducing my 2nd doll: Ikkitousen Great Guardians dollfie dream dynamite Kanu Unchou (関羽雲長). Kanu is released at Dolpa 20 which was held on January 10, 2009 with an MSRP of ¥58,000. I actually never watched any of the Ikkitousen anime, but when I first saw photos of dollfie dream Kanu, I was captivated by her face and decided to get her if possible. I actually found her with a very small mark up on Yahoo Japan Auction, so I place the bid without much thought. Kanu comes with metalic 20mm animetic eyes, original head and original wig. She has a dollfie dream dynamite body with dark skin color and a large bust. This makes her very distinct among all the other dollfie dreams released to date. But it also makes her a bit difficult to pose and care for as there are no hands available that matches her color and can’t get any other optional or spare parts for her because they are either not available for the dollfie dream dynamite body or the skin color doesn’t match. So I will have to get by with the two set of hand that came with her and be extra careful with her. There’s more information on her at Volks’ official web page (in Japanese). She arrived together with my 3rd doll Tohsaka Rin, which I will introduce later. 😉

Dressed up with the default clothing set. Her hair is just so beautifully long.

    if i could have a dollfie, i’d no doubt choose kanu. do you know if she’s on sale somewhere? i’m pretty sure she’ll fetch a good sum of money by now.

    • These days, Kanu is pretty hard to find. But from time to time there’s a Kanu dollfie poping up on Yahoo Japan Auction. If you know how to use a deputy service to get item off Yahoo Japan Auction, then you can always just go that route. Here’s a search URL for Kanu on YJA. But of course this is assuming you know how to navigate through the Japanese auction site. No dollfie on it when I searched for it today, but like I said keep an eye on it and sometime there will be one going by.

    WHAT IS PRICE DOLL KANU

    • Kanu is very hard to find in today’s market, so really it’s hard to give a market value for it. But I would say it probably worth more than $1500 in today’s market.

  • ok thanks i livin in costa rica

    • I actually did a eBay search, and it in fact listed one Kanu from Hong Kong for $6000. Now I do believe that price is overly inflated. But still the price just shows how rare Kanu today and how hard to get it now.

  • THANKS FOR YOU SPLAY
