I have a troubled relationship with Infinite Stratos -- to put it extremely mildly, I wasn't much of a fan. Yet for all my bellyaching, I love Charlotte Dunois, the adorable girl-next-door type lost in a cast of overbearing personalities. I suspect I’m not the only one who has a soft spot for Charlotte, because here is the fifth scale figure of the character, putting her well ahead of her harem competitors in figure count -- and boy is it a doozy. With a bubbly expression on her face, Charlotte seems to be having the time of her life prancing around in her bunny suit, and the bunnies hanging onto her seems to agree. Did she ever wear a bunny suit in the show? Nope, but as far as I’m concerned, the less I am reminded of the anime series, the better. I have much better things to fixate on, like Charlotte’s hips, legs, fishnet stockings...ahem.

Charlottes is due out in October for the retail price of ¥7,800 yen, not too shabby for a 1/7th scale figure with real fishnet. Pre-orders are now open at the usual suspects -- will she be hopping into your collection anytime soon?
