From the manga Le Cirque de Karakuri aka Karakuri Circus by Fujita Kazuhiro, this beautifully designed twin set of figurines looks too nice to miss. Before this I knew nothing of the series but like any good figure, it makes buyers interested in the original work that spawned it.

This set is from Megahouse’s Excellent Model series and features two characters, Taranda Rizelot Tachibana and Shirogane.

Shirogane is the female lead and is a dollmaster that can manipulate this evil-looking blood-sucking doll Arurukan. Shirogane apparently never smiles in the manga. She’s dressed in blue and yellow striped leotard and has silver short hair. The pose is fantastic and Arurukan as the base makes it a must-buy. The Excellent Model series seems to have really cool bases. Before this it was the Blood+ one with Saya riding on Hagi. The details are so fine that the shape of her ribcage is visible!

Taranda is a beastmaster (mistress?) with the power of  "Charm Eye" which is the ability to tame animals. She’s chasing this man-eating tiger that ate her twin sister. The highlight of this is of course the nurse-like uniform and the WHIP!! WHIPPPP. I like how both girls are proportionate and not overly endowed. Petite girls are best.

    Hi Sir/Madam,

    Actually Im interested with Karakuri Circus manga. Since Im staying in Malaysia, Im having difficulty to find Karakuri Circus manga(English version) for a couple of months. All the bookstore only sell in Chinese language. Would appreciate if you could provide some info where I can buy English version manga or downloadable website.
    Your kind assistance would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.
