Aka the line where everyone is an adorable loli! Two “volumes” (aka sets) are getting released at once, so let’s start with Volume 2. It includes Satori Komeji, Koishi Komeji, Patchouli Knowledge, Kaguya Houraisan, Yuyuko Saigyouji Yuka Kazami, Aya Shameimaru, Reimu Hakurei, and Cirno, as well as a secret release. And if you buy a set <a href="http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIG-COL-4417&page=top" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.amiami.com']);" target="_blank">on AmiAmi</a> you get a bonus Sakuya Izayoi! A case of these rubber straps doesn’t come cheap though, retailing at ¥5,780 a pop with a September release date. At least you get all ten!</p> <p>Volume 3 comes with Yukari Yakumo, Ran Yakumo, Chen, Suika Ibuki, Hanaoogi Ibaraki, Suwako Moriya, Tensh Hinanai, Marisa Kirisame, Youmu Konpaku, and a secret figure, as well as the AmiAmi bonus Nofuto Mononobe. It retails for the same price as Volume 2 <a href="http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIG-COL-4418&page=top" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.amiami.com']);" target="_blank">on AmiAmi</a> with a November release date. This set contains almost all of my favorite Touhou girls (Yukari, Ran, Chen, Suika, Marisa & Tenshi) and Volume 2 contains pretty much the rest of them (Cirno, Aya, Sakuya) so this is pretty tempting despite the high price!</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/TouhouPetanko23Header.jpg "Overload On Cute With The Touhou Project Petanko Volumes 2 & 3")
