Hi Dave,
ah that sucks man, but sometimes damages happen in this hobby, no matter how expensive the figure was.
The front ribbon of my figure is also a little ripped, but not that badly and it’s not that noticeable.
How damaged is your plastic bra piece? is it still in one piece with only the ribbon ripped or fallen off?

You can expect no help from the manufacturer, unfortunately.

Depending on the damage, clear epoxy glue is your friend, it can fix broken plastic parts, but use it carefully and only a little bit.

The wrapping stuff sometimes suck when you don’t intend to undress the figure.
I haven’t heard of more people with this problem, normally you would first take the head off (carefully)
and open the bra at the backside, then you slowly push the top in the direction her boobs are pointing and a little upwards.

Kurz nachdem ich die Vorbestellung damals gesetzt habe, fühlte ich auch das ihr Gesicht etwas doof aussieht.
Irgendwie wurde wohl noch etwas dran optimiert, jedenfalls wenn ich sie jetzt so auf dem Regal anschaue sieht sie fantastisch, das Regal ist etwas höher wirkt aus der Perspektive wohl besser als auf dem Schreibtisch.

Ja, die Pose ist toll, damals war ich schon von der bloßen Ankündigung der Figur enzückt ^^
Bin jetzt auch ziehmlich glücklich mit meiner “letzten” Sonico.
Dankeschön bei dem Wunderkerzen Bild, hätte ich beinahe mein Bett abgebrannt XD

Ah, ok sure that would look more sporty on her.
Yeah I think it’s true, she’s also quite gullible, if her environment weren’t so nice, she would find herself in distress very soon. Still she was quite adorable ^^
Maybe Sonico was cursed to have headphones instead of ears, the illustrators are very persistent about the headphone look, I’m pretty sure people would still recognize her without them.

Something like what you might see at a track event or similar; something that looks like it’s meant for business, instead of having lace or ruffles or frilly parts. You’re right that it does seem appropriate for Sonico. I didn’t watch much of the anime or anything but I have the feeling that she doesn’t have a ton of common sense, at least judging by how she wears her headphones into the bathtub.

Yeah has been a busty busy month XD
It is sexy I tell you! You have the option to choose her look.

A thong! ;p

Like Tier said maybe different underwear for this pose and outfit as well it doesnt really fit? ^^

Mhhh I see, whats your image of sporty underwear? runner shorts, bloomers or just something with a less romantic appearance.
It’s at least fitting for Sonico I think, I actually don’t know what cheerleaders wear underneath XD
Somehow everyone forgot about bloomers, seems that anime culture has forgotten about it.
Orchid Seed sometimes has a few flaws on their figures, I’m glad that I’ve mainly bought the right ones so far.
I can forgive certain flaws anyway, only a “strange” skintexture on the final product would make me damn mad haha.
