I still remember that I didn’t even know who she was when I PO her months ago, this happens a lot actually XD, my imouto aiko told me about this figure, went and look at her and the next thing I know I PO-ed her. Later on I found out that she’s a character from the eroge Chu x Chu Idol and she’s a vampire too XD. The other figures from the eroge are Chuchu Asutoramu and Pixie Hiyori, I only have the later pre-ordered though, waiting for my imouto to bring it back to me from Sg.
My first thought when I collected her from my friend was, WOW the box is so big, but when open up, she’s actually quite small. Don’t let the size fool you though, the sculptor has manage to cram quite a lot of details on her, well except for the guitar strings. She comes with a pinkish transparent base, with a steel rod to keep her floating.
Chua Churam concert LIVE @ Toys Workz, and it’s free XD.
Just love the way her hair flows. Her hair is softer and kinda bendable, similar to Alpha Omega Golden Darkness hair, except for the two thinner strand which is a bit harder.
A bit of paint defect on her hair her, T_T, that’s something to be expected from mass produced stuff I guess.
Close-up of her face, so cute, pretty good detail on her hair accessories too.
Too bad her guitar doesn’t have string, someone did DIY his own string onto the guitar though, but I lost the link to the site.
Such lovely legs.
Absolutely no regret in getting her, she’s a really nicely sculpted and detail figure. Now I just need to wait for my Hiyori Pixie to arrive so that I can pair them together.

As usual, nice review. I also have a chua churam, she is one cutie. I love fang girl and guitar girl so she is a plus plus for me. Very impressed with the details despite the small size of her.
Awesome photos.
Are those Christmas balls by any chance?
Flowers on her hair and that smile is an absolute WIN!!! ^^
Your pictures have more contrast than mine, well mine had sunlight on her which was a bit to bright 😛 . One of my favorites ever. As you said you can’t be fooled by her size, the details are simply amazing, comparing to other figures she might short in size but in terms of wide space she’s bigger than your average figure
@ron~thanks ^^
@CottonCandy~I would get one too if GSC release a nendo chua churam
@Chappy~thanks, yeah the fang is cute and the detail on her is great

@Belela-san~I up the contrast a bit for the shoot ^^. yeah she does takes bit of wide space than other figures
Great photos. Mine still sits in my pile of figures somewhere.

Wow, Valho.
This figure is so beautiful. I loved it.
Very colourful and vibrant~ Really like the shots with the cotton wool as if she really is floating~ How does the base hold up though?
Chua Churam is really awesome and definitely one of the best figures of 2008. You make her even prettier with these awesome photos!
