I’ve always viewed Bandai’s Chibi-Arts line as kind of a ripoff of Nendoroids, and a pretty blatant one at that. The plus side is that they usually make characters who don’t get Nendoroid versions, which is certainly the case with these two! We have C.C from Code Geass and Princess Shirahoshi from One Piece. Both are really adorable, and they each come with animal companions: C.C with the helmet-stealing cat and Shirahoshi with a… mini shark? Shirahoshi retails for ¥3,800 and will be released in August, whereas C.C’s release info is unknown. While I’ve been avoiding the Chibi-Arts line so far, I don’t think I’ll be able to resist these two cuties–that is, if I can actually snag them before they sell out!

Is that Kallen I see beside CC? Hmmmm.
It’s definitely possible: Bandai had a ton of stuff marked Do Not Photograph and I highly doubt they would just do C.C!
I really love these 2. I might end up trying to snag them.
A Kallen would interest me more than CC, tbh, so kinda hope that it is. Also does CC have a standing set of legs or is it just that?
I think it’s safe to assume that she comes with standing legs, I can’t imagine an “action figure” being released without the ability to stand (unless they’re a mermaid). However, they haven’t shown any other legs yet and she’s been at several events which does seem a bit unusual.
