There are about 5, I tried to get the best shot I could. I can look past little paint scuffs and chips, but problems with the vinyl bother me more.

 Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 1/12/09
I have the same one but no bubbles on the surface. I also have a clear HP and I notice that there are more (internal) bubbles than I would normally expect from JP vinyl, but then again I attribute this to the overall shape of the figure. Bubble or not tho I'm just KHURAAAZEEEE about the Dorols.

Trying my best to keep up with Shikaruna Koubo (not the easiest thing in the world with 100's of one off's out there). Updated the database as best as I could, thanks Josh (Krudler) for input on HP releases.

I've yet to notice any bubbles that have surfaced, though. That really is rough  and hey Robert, where's the pics of your newly scored Dorols?

 Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/13/09
Received my set today. Oh how I wish I could read Japanese. The drawings were all great to browse through but I really want to know the story behind each monster. The new 4-Armed Zagora is great.

Wow, that is the nicest Chiwos I have ever seen. It really uses the translucent effect in a subtle way that I don't know I have seen before.

 Re: Shikaruna Koubo Database- updated 2/13/09
Great pics Daniel. Love the clear blue chiwos. I still think Shikaruna should get it's own forum here. This thread is 14 pages long! Then again the trooper one is up to what 27?

That's an awesome Chiwos, Akuma. I also have a blue vinyl based one but most of the paint on mine is on the inside... no camera today for me though. :/
