Musashiya's Love Plus garage kit reminds us that Nene is really the star

It always seemed like Manaka was the "star" of Love Plus. At least it seemed like she received more attention than the rest of the cast. But now that people have come to know the measurements of Nene, she's been popping up a lot more. Mostly in bikinis. It's no doubt that Nene is a rather, um... shapely woman.

Musashiya looks to cash in on the Nene popularity with a new 1/6 scale garage kit of her posed casually in a two piece swimsuit. Normally I would rag on Musashiya (2nd to the now defunct Taki Corporation) but I'm a bit thrown off by this sculpt. Maybe because it is unpainted but everything about this figure seems to be top notch for something coming from sculptor WOOD. I'm probably blinded by her curvy hips and fuller figure as those are right buttons to press for me. I know Nene is a busty character but she seems a tad larger here.

If you're looking to get your hands on this lovely kit, you'll need to book yourself a plane ticket to Japan for Treasure Festa in Kobe 2 on October 31. This will be an event only exclusive available at the Musashiya booth and retail for 9,800 yen. What do you think? Tempting or pass?
