The figure was released in late November 2017 and I received her shortly before christmas. Hanasaki Marika was sculpted by Hashimoto Ryou, my favorite figure sculptor if I had to name one. She is scaled 1/7 and 22 cm in height.

The figure includes a few parts to assemble a bath corner diorama with mirror, plant, a cup and toothbrushes, it’s really cool that the doors can be opened and that the light works. It’s definetely a nicely made addition to the figure with a convincing design. Although it is also possible to display the figure on a smaller base without the bathroom closet.

The two toothbrushes and too wide shirt could indicate that the character spend the night with her boyfriend.

The figure has been captured in an interesting scene, where the cute Marika brushes her teeth half asleep. Haha she is actually dressed like someone who fell out of bed. Her slightly surprised and still dozy expression is quite adorable.

Marika is a very curvy girl with mature proportions. Her ripe pawpaws and juicy peach bottom are quite inviting. Of course you would always turn the figure in a way that she would look at you, but she has beautiful boobs for sure.

What is more prominent though are her wide hips and the beautiful big butt attached to them. Bigger butts aren’t so common in the figure market, this pink haired figure is a great exception though. The way the panties are digging into her skin accentuates the nice volume and shape. I love it together with these marvelously sculpted thighs (/∇＼*)○♡.

The figure has no additionally cast off magic, you get what you see, nevertheless it would be no real Native figure without additionally lewdness, below the hanging panties you can notice the figures accurately sculpted sweet spot,
it’s not too obvious so that it’s actually a nice detail of the Hanasaki Marika figure.

It’s very obvious that Marika is sexy, but looking at these cute, striped ribbons and hairstyle one can never be too sexy for having kawaii pigtails.The style of her fringe is very cute and girly, the longer parts of the hair have a more mature appeal. The pink hair is nicely done and shaded in soft and also more vivid tones of pastel pink.

I also llike the figures nicely articulated pose, from boobs to butt … EHH! from head to toe of course (⁄ ⁄^⁄ᗨ⁄^⁄ ⁄) it’s an interesting and convincing pose. I really like how her arm partially hides the left breast for example. Additionally the movement of the hair and white shirt have a kind of elegance and make the figure more dynamic.

The face is great as well with the 1/3 closed, blue and beautiful eyes, distintive eye makeup and flushed cheeks. Together and with the small opening of her cute mouth an appealing expression has been created.

Her expression appears ashamed and of slightly pouting character, maybe we should not stare too much at her butt.

The illustration by Pyon-Kti has been adapted very pretty and faithfully, except the sweat traces, but that is probably difficult to recreate and no desired detail anyway. For me the nice skintexture and smooth body sculpting is perfect.

I really appreciate the great looking bathroom corner that was added to the main figure. It was desinged with love and attention to detail. The “wooden” framed mirror, the tiles around the sink or the faucet itself. The tiny accesoires as well as the opening doors and light feature bring the figure to life. The diorama is also pretty useful for photography.

On summary Native’s Hanasaki Marika is a lovely figure with gorgeous curvy body and appealing face. I like her proportions a lot, Hashimoto Ryou did a great job again with this buxom but at the same time cute character. The quality is great, only on second thought the figure could be scaled 1/6 but it’s allright to see her as 1/7 figure instead.

A whole lot of figure adaptions have been made of Sora, she is surprisingly popular, given her unsocial personality,
that she showed in her VN and anime adaption Yosuga no Sora, but she is a caring little sister. The illustration that this figure is based on was created by Hashimoto Takashi who was in charge of the character designs in the VN. 

The bunny style version of Sora was sculpted by one of my favorite figure artists, Hashimoto Ryou. She was released in late April 2017. I received her before I started my 3 week long vacation this year, so I publish this review a bit late.

The figure is scaled 1/7, comes with a stool that has a magnetic sitting surface to hold Sora in place, the trademark black plush bunny is also part of the set. Alltogether while sitting on the stool, the figure has a size of 27 cm.

Sora has her hair tied into two twintails of impressive length, the deep hanging fringe made photography a bit difficult, but the hidden areas give the pictures an artistic touch. The figure has shiny, yelllow gray ish eyes and the face is quite pretty and has a somehow erotic expression, the slightly open mouth with the sculpted lips is really nice on her. Sora’s gaze over her shoulder is an halfway interested, also halfway desinterested one. while nibbling on a single cherry.

She is a very interesting figure that conveys a strong atmosphere, it’s not what you would describe as cute, although by default Sora is someone I would consider as cute. In this figure adadaption though, Sora appears quite mature with a mysterious aura, the whole figure radiates a sense of elegance, a bunny dress in general is not something I would consider as elegant at all, but Sora with her un-boxum body manages to give the outfit a refined, mature appearance.

I really like Sora in a bunny suit, the slender body and less endowed curves make it look nice and not sexually overloaded as other bunny girl figures that have big boobs and butts. Of course I like those as well, but there is a reason why I have chosen this figure of Sora over the dozen amazing bunny girls from FREEing, like Himejima Akeno. 

The sculpting of her body is really detailed, be it the arms, the lovely thighs or the modest chest, it all looks beautiful. My personal favorite aspect is the detailed sculpting of the backside with her shoulders and upper back.

Sora is quite petite and thin, but she is also a beautiful young girl. Compared to the slim upper body Sora proudly presents her hips in this nicely articulated arched back pose. The pose also lets her butt look firm and attractive,
I also should mention her very pretty legs, the on the stool position lets them appear longer than they actually are. In her league Sora is a beautiful and cool bunny girl in a nicely designed bunnysuit with puffy bunny ears, collar and the obligatory cuffs around the wrists. The top part of the bunny suit is painted in pearl white, it’s shiny texture makes it quite appealing to the eye. Obviously also the sculpting with the seams and creases is perfectly done. Her hips and legs are clad in a dark brown pantyhose with good shading effects that accentuate the nicely shaped legs and bottom.

Final Words

Kasugano Sora – bunny style version is a marvelous, attractive, slender bunny girl figure, her articulation and overall presentation are perfect and create a certain atmosphere. Sora looks just cool, she doesn’t feel cheerful, but she is also not especially fanservice heavy, she is a surprisingly classy looking character for someone in such clothes. This Sora is another awesome and elaborately manufacturered figure made by Alter, but also something special in my eyes.
