Hi, I’m back with a new figure review, after quite some time it’s my beloved Sonico again.
It’s about the Super Sonico – Paisura Bikini version from Kaitendoh
This review has pictures that are NSFW, except your boss also likes nude, shapely figures.
This figure was made by Kaitendoh, the first time that I review a figure of them. I have not heard or seen that much of this company before, so my expectations weren’t very big, although all previous press pictures showed her to be pretty. With Yokota Ken Kaitendoh hired a skilled sculptor to make this figure. The figures scale is 1/6 and measures 28 cm.
Sonico – Paisura version comes with an optional necklace and additional arm rings you can use when Sonico doesn’t wear her bikini. A nice surprise was the mirror base of the figure, probably appropriate with such an revealing figure. Instructions for the castoff process aren’t included, new figure collectors might be feel a little overstrained by the slightly complex task.
This Sonico – Paisure bikini version is also based on an illustration by Tsuji Santa
Her right arm is raised in a protecive manner, don’t ask me why she puts her arm under the bikini, it obviously making everything even more embarassing for her
Yes, the headphones are a essential part of Sonico, the ones from Kaitendoh are detailed and delicate. Sonico also has nice clean hair, even the finer strands are elaborately crafted.
Sonico is portrayed in a ashamed and nervous state, still trying her best at the shooting to look into the camera. The face of this figure looks good and cute, she has the Tsuji Santa styled trademark eyes of Sonico, thick eyebrows and prominent blushmarks. Her mouth could be a little better, but from most angles the face looks really nice overall.
Sonico is a ridiculously shy and easily flustered Gravure Idol, in this situation Sonico does try to strike a sexy pose, but is actually defeated by her shame when she has been put in a skimpy bikini that is groaning by being stretched over the buxom girls body.
The bikini follows her voluptuos bodylines, with it’s interesting sugarcane and polka dot pattern, the blue part has an color gradient applied to it, which creates the illusion of stretched bikini fabric. The design looks rather fragile, but is bendable to a certain degree.
Compared to the body, Sonico’s feet are quite petite, the plateau shoes are sexy.
I was mesmerizied by the curvy body of this Sonico, she looks just beautiful. The sculpor put some love on this project and captured the attractive plump body of this girl with attention to detail, I think her cute belly, the broad hips and the meaty butt with thighs are amazing.
The boobs of this Sonico figure are really big, only rivaled by FREEing’s bunny version, which I haven’t bought, actually because of this reason. Anyway I like the big boobs of this Sonico, there is no doubt about that. They are nicely shaped and when you look veeeeery close her areola has some bumps and the nipples are also quite detailed.
I didn’t take long until I make use of the castoff option, it’s just too good. The top comes off in a rather artistic way, but it works good. Now her precious boobs are free ;D
I like amount of body fat this Sonico has, the little chubbines gives her a cuddly and very attractive look. I don’t know how you think about it, Pochaco with her proud big belly, who is quite popular these days. For my taste it’s a bit too much weight even though her cute smile is as bright as the sun.
Skin texture became an issue for me and in the end I doubt promotional pictures of certain figure manufacturers. I actually anticipated that the figure of todays review would greet me with the sad, cheap PVC skintexture, to my surprise Sonico had a smooth finish and nice skin.
Don’t mind the small gap between arm and right breast. I could have pushed the arm 2 mm higher, but missed it.
I never tried this before, but I thought that her curves would look great with some oil on her, I have used healthy safflower oil, I didn’t expect this amplification of sex appeal actually, damn!
[for the nervous people: The oil doesn’t damage the figures surface or paint]
Final Words
With so many Super Sonico figures on the market it’s getting more difficult for new figures to leave a lasting impression as the first few figures did, but let me tell you this Kaitendoh did an unexpected great job with this figure. The Super Sonico – Paisura Bikini version is a high quality figure of the character Sonico. A cute face, excellent body sculpting, beautiful skin texture and a convincing “too” tight bikini outfit are the major parts that are praiseworthy.
For me bikini related figures are often a worthy purchase, when they are nicely done like this Sonico, I like the kind of bikini figures that have something to show, detailed body sculpting is essential in order to be appealing for the buyer, when no fancy outfit is present.

She looks much better cast-off without the bikini, put her arm under her bikini doesn’t make sense for me XD and of course the oily one make better lewd fantasy 😀
at least you don’t shoot something on her 😛
wieselhead
Ah really? Obviously I love her bobbs, but with bikini it’s also nice （*´▽｀*）.
Also I have no idea about her arm, well it make her boobs look more squishy (⁄ ⁄^⁄ᗨ⁄^⁄ ⁄).
Great stuff, huh? Haha of course not, that would be a little too lewd XD

The review was pretty neat .
I´m not owning any Super Sonico figure but I might will in the future. I agree that her plump body is pretty well made.The curves look awesome , with and without the bra.I´m kinda amazed by the fact that you used oil on her .This may sound silly but you kinda widened my horizon , I used water before but I never thought of using other substances. I like the reflections made by the oil of course it´s also pretty sexy. It kind of makes it look like she was alive I actually dont know why, but I love it.This review really inspired me.

Hi, Oh thank you so much, to be honest the writing was quite exhausting XD
Ah I see, thats good to hear, I have 1,2… 7 ^-^. Well I like this character a lot.
Yeah, she is really good looking haha. I feared a bit that the color would suffer, but it’s actually just harmless oil.
The effects in the pictures surprised me, really makes her look more real. Glad I could be of help.
Hoshiko
Haha, if you didn’t say I would have asked if the oil would damage the figure. I guess when you take off the bikini, it makes more sense why the arm is underneath the bikini. It looked odd at first. So here’s a welcome to another Sonico? >.<
wieselhead
I actually was slightly worried about that ;p
Ah that is probably true, but I don’t really mind.
Oh another Sonico figure purchase isn’t planned so far, maybe some really appealing and creative figure might convince me once again 😉 like this http://myfigurecollection.net/item/227361

That Sonico looks really happy and quite different from the ones I’ve seen you have thus far.
wieselhead
I guess I have two happy looking Sonico, many are shy, embarassed or flustered (〃⌒∇⌒).
Also more happier figures have been made since last year, maybe new figures of Sonico will show up on the Wonderfestival by the end of this month.
I became rather picky, but would still like to see a few more.

Yeah, the pose looks more natural with the castoff option, oddly enough. Maybe it’s the angle, but after you applied the oil, some parts look like it’s handprints, lol.
wieselhead
Yes, they look almost natural XD
From a few angles she looks strangely tilted, from others not.
Handprints, from me, I’m innocent ^^

Every once in a while a non-mainstream company can make a figure that looks really superb. I’m not a huge fan of the low-leg bikini style that so many anime artists like but it looks pretty good on Sonico here. I have to admit, though, my enthusiasm for Sonico has dropped a ton, not so much because she has too many figures but because Pochaco has too many figures.
wieselhead
A shame the lower part has no cast off otion, I really would like a figure like Kaitendoh’s where I could l admire her precious butt and hips without bikini panties (*´∀`*) I think I’m more attached to the Sonico character than the random anime collector, for me it’s not only her body or sexy illustrations. Though, I feel less motivated to get every somehow appealing Sonico nowadays. Max Factory’s Wonfes announcement showed a Sonico I didn’t expect , I want it badly XD
Huh, well Sonico made the curvy girl type more mainstream, and made the Pochaco girl possible. Pochaco’s popularity puzzles me a bit, she’s litterally fat.
