I am kind of excited when 3A announced this figure, which is a second version of the very much personally sought after 2010's Easter TQ which, even if seen available on the secondary market, the asking price would have blown my wallet off the roof. Because only 25 pcs were made as gift for "colleagues" and "friends". This time 'round it is not a chase, random drop. It was offered for as a pre-made, limited figure but I was surprised at the time window they offered, which was up to nearly 48 hours if I remembered correctly. Thus, very stress free. The difference in these two versions are in the bunny cosplay dress design and of course, the body itself. Comes with a pair of standard hand gloves and wakizashi, which are pink in colour. The headsculpt now seems different from the TQs I have. It looks kinda closer to the original TQ. The TQ have several names - Choco Hunter; Easter TQ; Yutaka Jane and on the brown shipping box, it even added TQ YO as in TKYO. Comes in clear plastic box with Ashley Wood nice artwork on it. A small catalogue is thrown in with the set, with some teasing official background infos for each main lines. No loosey goosey joints, stands quite well and posing is not a concern for the one in my hand. However, the extra hand and leg pegs were not packed properly and nearly gone missing as it dropped out from the box upon opening it. I am glad to have this figure. Now, if only there would be a new CNY TQ.
