Cool, a fellow Kanna fan on the ML! :)
Yeah, there are a few other Kanna figures besides the 2" inch one. First
off, there's the a very expensive 1/5 scale model which was released by
Tsukuda Hobby. It's more a doll than a model, as it's got joints, real
clothing, real hair, etc., etc. It's also rather expensive, as I've seen it
going from $79-$100. I remember that www.ncsx.com had a number of these
figures (and one of the same type, but of Maria) for sale. That's where I
got mine from. It's not on their website, though, so just e-mail them and
ask about it. Also, Hobbylink Japan has this figure (don't remember their
URL, though, but just do a search and you should find it easily enough), so
you could go to their site and check out the picture of the figure to see if
you want it. There are also a number of UFO Catcher Dolls for the
characters (including Kanna), but I have no clue where to tell you to find
these, as I got them through pure, dumb luck. www.luthienenterprises.com
has another figure of Kanna, this one's by Banpresto, has her wearing her
Hanagumi uniform from ST2, and is about four-five inches tall.
There's also more than one 2" figure. There are 2 by Tsukuda Hobby that are
really small and look cute but are somewhat cheaply done (one in her regular
outfit, the other in her Hanagumi uniform from ST1), plus there's also one
by Sega that's a bit larger, comes with a stand, and has SD Kanna in her
karate gi, striking a pose (very kawaii!). Sega also re-released a set of
keychains for ST2, also very well done, so you can also get SD Kanna in her
Hanagumi outfit from ST2.
There's probably more out there...I really hope Sega releases a Real Model
of Kanna soon. If you find any other Kanna figures, please tell me about
it, 'cause I'd love to buy 'em. :)
