Obitsu 27 cm SBH bodies discontinued

Per an email from Parabox, Obitsu has discontinued making the 27 cm SBH (soft-bust) bodies. 

I do not have a link to an official announcement - it may be on the Obitsu Manufacturing website, but I don't speak Japanese...

Here’s the official announcement:

Does the slim refer to the male bodies? I hope they come out with those new boy bodies they teased a while back if they're going to discontinue those.

 

the 27 was my first-ever aftermarket doll body, and set the standard in sixth-scale for me from around 2011 thru 2019,

when i was finally able to begin upgrading my favorite 1/6 girls to the 26.

YMMV, of course, but for my ends, the 26 has offered such a dramatic all-round improvement, that i've scarcely even been able to look back;

I would LOVE a 30 (or even 27, 28, or 29) cm version of the 26-cm body. It is really nice. 

Thank you for the link, @ragnamuffin. Sometimes Google translate works for me - but frequently, it doesn't. 

indeed, something around a 30cm. or so would be a marvelous way

to bring my old late-90's 1/5-ish TSUKUDA HOBBY Mamotte Shugogetten! Shaorin up to date;

Somehow I missed this, do you have a link to the announcement/teaser? :'o 

I am surprised they discontinued this body, but the old hard plastic bodies are still around!
I'm so bummed though, this is the body I wanted for my Obitsu Fairy and my pullip hybrids! The new body is beautiful, but this one filled out barbie clothes really well, LOL... plus the new body always seems to be sold out on parabox's website. 😕
