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.

YAHALLO! How is it going with your figure orders near the end of the year?

I will take a look at Yui Yuigahama today, it’s a figure from Max Factory, which was released recently in October. Yui was designed by Shima, measuring 23 cm at the 1/7 scale.
When I really like a figure made by Max Factory I often don’t hesitate with placing an order.

Without knowing the anime of this interesting figure, I knew that I wanted her here on my desk. Before the release I watched Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. It was a jawdrop experience for me, since it is a different kind of school comedy. The main characters are very likeable and surprisingly deep. It was an extremely good anime.

The sharp analysis of main character Hachiman about social life in High School makes this show also bitter, the truth is always bitter, in fact it’s thought provoking. Also with a gloomy attitude, he manages to make good friends during the show, after the homeroom teacher forced the co administration of the Service Club onto him,  two of his friends are 2 wonderful girls named Yukino and Yui, haha and Saika, a boy who rather looks like a very very cute girl.

Yui  Yuigahama is a very bubbly, cheerful teenage girl, she is one of the three main characters.

She is introduced when searching the support of the Service Club with baking cookies, her real problem is, that she is convinced about having a personal lack of talent, after Yukino and Hachiman talked some sense into her, Yui became a member of the club.

At first Yui appears as a somehow superfluous chick, what she actually is not. She is quite conscious about the things happening around her. After all she is a very friendly person and caring towards her friends.

Yui Yuigahama’s figure appears in a rather special outfit here, she was wearing during episode 08, were the High School students prepared a test of courage for a group of elementary kids, some students dressed in funky Halloween costumes and Yui got this sexy latex suit.

Yui’s sweetness has no boundaries.

I ordered this figure based on visual appeal, but after watching her anime I noticed that she’s my type, also her personality. I like cheerful girls that are honestly kind and as cute as Yui.

Highlights:

Face – The sculptor captured Yui’s appearance carefully, she looks exactly as I imagine her when thinking about the anime. She has these pretty eyes which are full of cheerfulness. An deeply carved open mouth with upper front teeth line gives her expression more definition.

Body – For a highschool student, Yui has a developed womanly shape with buxom boobs and hips. The breast look nice and squishy lol. Attention was also paid on her cute belly and firm butt. On closer inspection the detail on arms, shoulders and armpits is also remarkable.

Outfit – Yui actually is a good and innocent girl and was wearing this daring outfit just one time.  Although the shiny black latex suit looks very good on her, it clings tightly to her bodylines and also shows realistic wrinkles and seams, the red garters and silver buckles create a more detailed appearance and a good contrast to the deep black suit.

The glossy top coat creates a convincing texture. Yui can fill the wide cleavage cutout without problems, also her hotpants are rather revealing and a small part of her lower buttocks is visible, which is just so sexy. Other interesting parts are fingerless gloves and high heel boots.

Size – Yui Yuigahama looks great in 1/7, with 23 cm she’s not the tallest girl, but her small and bigger details are noticeable and nicely made. The face also has a nice size, I could admire her cute face for hours. Alltogether and the lively pose of course, make her an elaborate and attractive figure.

Final Words

Max Factory did a marvelous job with their figure adaption of Yui Yuigahama. The very cute, short haired girl looks quite hot in her sexy devil latex costume. The figure is manufactured in a very high quality, she has pretty colors and a very attractive looking body, I like how some skin is showing and Yui has a wonderful sculpted butt, that has to be mentioned ;D

But first of all Yui is a cheerful looking figure that combines cuteness and fanservice very well.
I got her for 10.380 Yen and feel super happy about this purchase.
