Volks, when will you cease to make me happy? I mean, you know, in the realm of today. If you liked the Densha Otoko live action series, or like me, liked the opening more, then get ready to have your otaku stroked in a major way. Volks has announced the release of two 1/6 scale Resin casts of characters from the upcoming spinoff OVA from that opening, Getsumen Toheiki Mina. I guess the gimmick is that everyone is named Mina or something as the two characters are Tamamushi Mina and Haduki Mina, from youngest to oldest. Starting with Tamamushi, I will assume she is supposed to look like her Jewel Beetle namesake to an extent. She is cute and innocent looking with cherries and… mouse ears? on her head (maybe they’re bunny ears. There’s a tail… whatever). Not sure what specific ears they are. She is very well carved as is Haduki who sports leeks coming out of her neck and… I guess brown rabbit ears. I don’t know they’re sort of artisticly rendered, so it’s hard to pinpoint. She is dressed more sexily in a traditional china dress and those long glove thingies. I forget what you call them. They are both due in October for 9,240 yen a piece.

Three pictures of each of them after the jump.

There was a wallpaper of all the characters from the OP a while back. I’m sure more nice ones’ll come out, too. These look magnificent.

Yeah, the official site is up too. I will post that today. I meant to do it yesterday, but I thought it was maybe old news. >.>
