At first I wasn’t very interested in getting her, because of underwhelming promo pictures, lately I started to visit Orchid Seeds blog more often, because they sometimes show interesting pictures of the progress of their upcoming figures. There they had a post about Aizawa Nao, which changed my opinion about this figure from not being interested to I really want to get her ;).

In comparison with the illustration from her medium sized box, the figure appears more pretty with her more beautiful face while the pose resembles the illustration more or less closely.

This figure comes with a big blue cape, a pumpkin where she sits on, a normal and an ecchi bra, a tail and a transparent, purple, round base with her name printed on.

Nao has nice looking hair with these single sharp strands around her forehead, behind her head she has a huge and voluminous ponytail hairstyle. Despite her meneater appearance, she has a lovely face expression, with the piercing yellow greenish eyes, the detailed eyelashes. Together with the friendly sculpted mouth and the well placed blush marks a nice expression is created.

The pose of the figure turned out less risky as on the illustration. Well, she is also sitting bend over on her pumpkin with squeezed boobs and spread legs as well, but her boobs appear a bit less voluminous and the arms of the figure cover her crotch area from lecherous eyes.

In her risky outfit she looks like some kind of female Supervillain, her upper clothes have a shiny latex like texture with dark outlines and a gradient effect that creates a slightly transparent look.
The figure comes with an optional cape, it is blue on the outside and orange on the inside with a pumpkin brooch at the collar, since I prefer her with bare shoulders I’ve put it back into the box.

A pretty and fancy part of her outfit are the stockings and the fingerless gloves, which have a nice dark blue to light purple gradient with white stars on them. The little devil tail can be placed in a hole at the backside of her purple g-string. As shoes she is wearing the well known high school model, we know from many animes, there are small pumpkin buttons as little diversification.

The pose is interesting and very well articulated, even though I could have imagined different poses for this figure, I prefer arched backs and strongly squeezed aren’t really my preference.

Nevertheless Aizawa Nao is a very attractive figure, she is showing a lot of skin and I especially
like her bare shoulders and the colorbones. she has smaller boobs as in the illustration, but they are still big and have some puffy nipples. You can cover this are with one of the two bra parts, well the ecchi one doesn’t cover much, to exchange the parts you can pull off her right forearm.

(thx to alamarco for the hint)

I was always searching for an easy way to create fog in my pictures, dry ice sounded quite convenient at first, but it was only sold in big blocks here and appeared quite dangerous to handle. A fog machine would have been too overdimensioned, well there are small ones with less output for around 400€, I also heard they were smelly and leave sticky arrears. Luckily I found what I was looking for at a shop for pet supplies, it was the  Super Fog Nano from Lucky reptile.

The figure isn’t connected to the pumkin via a peg, the pumkin has intentions for the butt and the hands of this figure, she is very well balanced, considering that her feet are slightly in the air.

Qualitywise this figure is very well made, her skin is smooth without rough areas aside from a small seamline above her g-string. Also the paintjob appears very clean, it nearly shows no overpainting, but on a close distance they slacked at the small orange buttons on her shoes.

Final Words

Im happy about the purchase of Aizawa Nao, she has a very pretty face and also a nice body. The fancy designed outfit with the purple colorsheme looks very cool and Im glad that the sculptor did some changes to the figure in comparison with the not so nice original illustration.
She looks a lot more adorable in figure form

After the Super Soniko – bondage version figure and the lovely Dwarf, Aizawa Nao was the second figure that I received from Orchid Seed and Im quite satisfied with them and I will probably order more from them in the future. In case you like your figures a bit more sexy Orchid Seed is a alternative to tamer companies like ALTER and GSC, in terms of quality they are also on a quite good level.

The figure of Aizawa Nao isn’t very popular, I only saw two japanese reviews of her, which is probably due the non existent origin and because of the first promo pictures which didn’t do her justice at all, but because of that she’s still availabe at most shops for around 7000 Yen.

Hello Kitty to Issho – Vocaloid – Nekomura Iroha

This is not the little sister of Megaman, Nekomura Iroha is an advanced Vocaloid synthesizer, but I never heard of her before, even though there are a few song of her on youtube. She is made by Griffon Enterprise and will have a height of 17,5 cm. The release is in November of this year.

What first met my eye were the creative design and the very cute appearance of this figure. I really like the tight, red shinobi styled dress, the speaker gloves and the shiny helmet. Nekomura has a nice petite body and her cute face with the friendly big mouth are also quite enchanting.

Aizawa Nao – Comic Aun 2008 Cover Illustration

Here we have Aizawa Nao from Orchid Seed, she is scaled 1/7 and her release date is this November as well. This figure was announced earlier this year, but I admit that she didn’t convince me with the early promo pictures of her, the lighting is pretty bad, but some days ago I saw a picture of this figure as a final sample on Orchid Seeds blog. From what I’ve seen there, I decided to place my order for her. I love her pretty face with the bright and piercing eyes and the red brownish hair. Her pose is quite interesting and I like the fancy Halloween style outfit a lot. She will great next to my other 1/7 scaled figures Sonikoand Menace. As to be expected from an Orchid Seed figure there are 2 castoff options, I prefer the one without cape, but with bra.

Soniko Bondage version “Candy Pink”

This figure is also from Orchid Seed and scaled 1/7, her release date is in January 2012.
I already have the black color version of this figure and I’m not the person who buys the “same” figure twice, but of course for my beloved Soniko I make an exception :D. This new color version features a nice combination of baby blue, white and pink. In private I also hope the new version will have more prominent blush marks than my other one with the black outfit. Maybe I’ll sell the version I like less later, but for once I’m planning to display both of them together.

Choco*Ochi, Super Sonico Collection x Mota

Concealed behind this strange title is a set of three different chibi figures of Soniko, they are produced by Orchid Seed and will have a size of 8 cm. This set will be released in February 2012 and contains a casual dressed Soniko with guitar, a naked apron Soniko and a Soniko cosplaying as Al Azif. You can exchange some parts of them like the face for example.

Oshino Shinobu

So far Good Smile Company made  nice figures from the popular Bakemonogatari franchise.
Aside from their Hachikuji Mayoi, I was partially interested in all of them, but there always was a small part inside of me who made me pass in the end, sorry Kanbaru and Hanekawa. But I instantly fell for their Oshino Shinobu, she is scaled 1/8 and will be release in March 2012.

This Shinobu figure is sculpted after the illustration of the BluRay cover. The base looks very creative with the donuts and the parts that belong to the other characters from this anime.
Shinobu herself looks very cute, with the beautiful red eyes and the soggy donut in her mouth, she also has this lovely light dress and the helmet is also a very cool item, it can be taken off btw.

I will probably order the Black Hanekawa figure from ALTER, but so far I couldn’t bring myself to place another order. I also would like to order Naoe Kanetsugu, Ichijou Ayane and Astraea.
I don’t trust Kaitendo enough to pay so much for Ayane and Astraea will probably go on sale.

And like always my updated Preorder Roadmap from November till March.

Im really looking forward to receive the lovely 1/6 scaled Asuka from Max Factory next month!
