I admit that I had a lot of summer season related figures in previous months, I only have one more and we can focus on the naughty nuns category instead.

Today we take a look at the strong Hololive girl Shirogane Noel, although I don’t consider myself a fan, but I can appreciate appealing figure designs. After Minato Aqua – Aqua Iro Super☆Dream♪ version, Noel is my second figure based on the Hololive universe. In the first place I only buy figures with appealing looks, I have no problems with buying figures from origins I don’t know.

While I would prefer figures based on anime I watch, generally speaking I’m ok with any kind of beautiful figure. Hololive provides appealing designs, it’s quite amazing to see figures made based on youtube fantasy characters anyway. The characters have a short half life time in the entertainment industry, shorter than Kancolle, you should enjoy it for the time being and get the merchandise you would like.

The release date of the Shirogane Noel – Swimsuit version was in November 2023, the sculptor in charge was Katahara Itashi. This figure was manufactured by Good Smile Company. The scale is 1/7 and seems to be pretty accurate when comparing it to other 1/7 scaled figures from GSC.

While those sandals are probably not good for using them in the ocean or even the pool, they nevertheless look really great.

There is another figure of her available in knight armor unfortunately for rather expensive 27.000 Yen, the Noel on todays review was surprisingly inexpensive with its 18.000 Yen.

There are rumors that her voice actor does erotic ASMR videos on a different platform. I stumbled upon it and I can say that really is something else, I can understand why people would like it, pero!pero!pero!

This Noel bikini figure has a quite creative base with it’s slightly angled position, the swim ring adds more dynamicism to the sculpt what makes it a more interesting looking figure, the recreated water looks very nice, it is made with epoxy like material and surprisingly heavy. This is probably one of the prettiest swim rings I have seen on a PVC figure so far, from the plastic like gloss to the bulky and thin wrinkles on it, it all adds a distinctive realistic look.

Her hair is very detailed with it’s elaborate and separately sculpted strands, the light purple color is quite appealing. Her attractive face has beautifully designed green eyes while one eye is closed, the happy looking mouth is adorable and the figures radiates a generally positive atmosphere.

Noel is a beautiful girl and she is also quite sporty, her muscular arms look fantastic and so does her abdomen of steel. But the girl isn’t only hard muscles, her bouncy boobs look really beautiful and impressive. The bodysculpting is pleasing to the eye, further details thai could be overlooked easily are the good looking armpit and a beauty mark on her left breast.

Her bikini is a fashionable piece of beach attire, the blue and white colors are really pretty. The bikini top is connected to the neck, the cross connector in the middle, above her chest looks cool and supporting. Over the high cut bikini panties she is wearing a miniskirt, I would say she looks more dressed that way.

Small details like these small belts around the arm or the right thigh are nice to look at. There also is a cute scrunchy around her wrist, the adjustable sunglasses are funny the shinyness and transparency of them adds a good quality feel.

I have bought the figure because she is extremely cute and I didn’t need even 2 days to decide to make the purchase. Suomi KP-31 – Midsummer Pixie – Heavy Damage version was manufactured Pony Canyon by one of the Good Smile Companies sublabels.

The outstanding thing about the figure is the head, it’s actually what I would call perfect, the eye decals and general facial features a clarity and sharpness of unknown quality. I really like the beautiful beautiful face of Suomi, like the whole figure design, the beautiful eyes obviously feature the style of illustrator anmi (アンミ).

As heavy damage version the figure obviously has no happy expression, her mouth shows a bit of frustration, still it is looking very cute and adorable.

Her hair is painted in a pleasant blonde color, the hairstyle is really adorable with the side bun and the sculpting of the strands and the hair between the eyes. The hair is further detailed with a hairband and a scrunchy, additionally an ice crystal brooch and tiny bunny ears can be found and seen.

The figure has been released in late November 2023. Suomi is scaled 1/7 with around 13 cm of height she is relatively small, but the scale is about accurate for a small person. The figure features a good anatomy and a very well articulated compact pose. Suomi is petite and offers a lot of youthful atmosphere.

In Girls’ Frontline the characters are named of firearms, Suomi is named as machine gun KP-31, the secondary weapon of Simo Häyhä, a popular sniper from Finland. Rumors talk about 500 – 800 killed soldiers in 100 days of the “Winter War” against the Soviet Union. KP – 31 has a rate of fire of 900 rounds per minute, although the drum magazine can only offer 70 rounds.

The figure is based on the following illustration, featuring Suomi’s style from the summer event.

The figure obviously is ought to have fun at the beach, I like the tropical atmosphere and summerly appearance. As heavy damage version her bikini bottom part is torn and reveals the characters naked butt, the exposed butt is cute, the fanservice is there, but definitely not in a lewd direction. They placed a sea urchin and starfish on her butt *ouch*. The jacket is tattered but the bright blue color still gives it a fashionable coordinate, the white, frilly bikini top is still intact.

All parts except for the base and machine gun are directly attached to the figure and can’t be taken off. The weapon is done in a very detailed way, I can’t say that I am a fan of the crude design and who takes a machine gun at the beach.

I bought the figure because of her visual appeal not because I am a weapon otaku or fan of the game. Beach and bikini figures are making me happy, the summerly feeling and a bit of harmless skin revealing is always welcome. The petite appearance of Suomi is very nice and she really is a beautiful and sweet looking girl. The quality of the figures hair and face are outstanding, her body also is very well done, the sculpted outfit is made with a little less precision than the rest, but I don’t really mind, the figures quality is still on a very high level.
