Amemiya Natsumi is a character created by illustrator Kekemotsu featured in one of his doujinshi named “Gokuusu Mizugi de Okasaretagari ga Kakusenai” Where Natsumi works as teacher, and advisor of the swim club of a boys school, you can probably imagine what kind of story that is.

On his Twitter account Kekemotsu has many illustrations of Amemiya Natsumi, most aren’t nearly as daring as the one that was chosen to be turned into a figure, I actually would have preferred her to be in a different pose, that is my problem. But nevertheless, I really fell in love with her character design and didn’t really think twice about ordering her.

Original Character Amemiya Natsumi has been released in January 2022. She has been sculpted by Deira, who also was in charge of Dragon’s Crown – Sorceress and Peach Maid – Ami and some more A really talented figure sculptor. This figure has been made at an amazing 1/5 scale, although they have chosen a compact pose for her.

The figures body has a nice volume and her features are nice, smooth and thicc.

Overall her face turned out extremely well made in terms of craftsmanship and it successfully gives the figure an extremely lively expression. I think that very important on a relatively big figure, she has to look convincing. Her face is really adorable and charming, starting with these beautifully designed eyes and raised eyebrows. The facial features are very smooth and pretty, too. Of course the figure shows strong arousal. She has a sensual mouth with the upper teeth showing and tongue sticking out, her tongue is wide and super shiny.

A tongue out expression can easily look kind of derpy, but I think that the sculpt of her face is really beautiful and the horny, flirty expression of her is both cute and erotic. Her swimsuit, yes she is wearing one in case you didn’t notice, has a nice design with white and light blue colors.

The shiny look and illusion of thin fabric is quite appealing. When I think about, it swimsuits in anime are always hotter than bikini’s, maybe since they often look more like shiny latex suits. The pose focuses on Natsumi’s big plump breasts and the the big muscular legs. They are definitely a highlight of this figure when you are into that kind of stuff.

She is leaned backwards sitting there with spread legs on a starting block. The figure is still wearing shoes and a jacket, while the swimsuit is peeled down at shoulders and the boobs are exposed,
the beautiful and ample boobs look soft and are squeezed together what gives them a realistic appearance, the shiny and detailed nipples also look sexy. At the sides of the bikini you can also notice the sideboobs.

They gave the swimsuit a nice, rubber like texture with an illusion of wetness, the skin of her underboobs shines trough the swimsuit which is a nice effect. It’s interesting how lewd the figure looks even though she is still kind of dressed up, Amemiya Natsumi looks overwhelmingly hot and I love that part about her.
In the default display option, Natsumi lifts up the bikini at her private parts with her fingers, that is just enough fanservice for me.

There are alternative body parts, lower body and a hand to exchange, so it is possible to display the figure in a even more lewd manner with exposed vagina in open appearance with the alternative hand you can create the scene of her spreading herself… Sorry I left it in the box since the figure is already very arousing without exchanging parts, I didn’t want to ravish the figure as a result, so please bear with not seeing her vagina in this post.

As beautiful as this figure is, there are certain small imperfections you won’t expect from such a first grade figure,let’s see there is the thing with her hair, it has a handful of brown paint blobs at the front, not a single one can be found on the backside, though. The other thing can be found in the inner side of the left hand, there is some excess material, which is probably very easy to fix.

Overall quality control has been lacking on this figure, which is a shame. Personally I’m not bothered by such little imperfections, especially since this figure as whole is a stunning piece of craftsmanship.

As she was announced I was instantly drawn to the figures design, I especially liked her detailed and attractive facial expression with the beautiful eyes. Furthermore she was sculpted by Deira, who already did a very good job on the WHS Sorceress design. Maid Ami is part of the Peach Maid Figure Series, in her small box she has a nice looking chair and as alternative sit on device, a soft pillow also is included. As duteous maid Ami has removeable skirt and panties.

I was really looking forward to receive this figure, to my surprise Maid Ami turned out as 1/8 scaled fîgure, in general “Native figures” are scaled 1/7 at least. To sum it up, I was very surprised about the small figure with the big boobs.

Nevertheless after I accepted reality and the figures size, I came to the idea to use doll house sized items for her photosession, I became quite crafty to build a nice room for Maid Ami with wallpaper, curtains, a window and a carpet.

Let’s take a closer look at Maid Ami from the Peach Maid Figure Series, she has dark hair styled into a twintail hairstyle with a cute ribbon decorated frilly maid cap on it. The deep hanging fringe gives Ami’s expression something erotic and also mysterious. Furthermore the expression portrays the character in a sullen mood although she doesn’t seem to be disinclined by playing the ecchi maid. The figure is not just lewd she also has a partially cute appearance actually.
Ami has a very pretty face and very nice purple eyedecals with attractive reflection points.

Considering the figures small size, the mouth looks great and adds a lot to the figures distinctive expression.

Ami is a pretty young maid with an attractive and seductive body, she has nice legs, but most prominent are her luxuriant sized breast with nicely shiny and pointy nipples, which Ami give a gently push upwards. The figure has without a doubt a provocative pose, sitting on the front edge of the seat and her back leaned at the back rest. The pelvis is tilted forward and the legs are spread in an inviting manner.

The figure has sculpted genitals, the puffyness covers and prevents a too explicit appearance, I like it that way. It’s cute and I don’t have to feel too shameful about it.

By default Ami is a half nude figure, but the parts of her maid uniform are nice nevertheless. She wears a maid cap, a choker, arm and handcuffs, the top was probably lost somewhere in the action, it’s not part of figure at least.

The skirt is pulled up and is hanging over the chairs seat. She optionally wears pink panties, compared to the prototype the panties always look a little disarranged on the final version, but that is all right. A funny detail, that one might overlook on first sight are the holes and scratches in her stockings, a bit kinky, but it adds more detail to the figure.

Final Words

On summary Maid Ami by Progress looks really pretty and lewd lol. As expected from the sculptor Deira, the figure is very detailed and has an distinctive facial expression. It was my main reason for ordering that figure and I really love the scowl combined with the lively eyes. The figure has a nicely articulated pose, it is quite expressive and together with the nicely shaped body a beautiful and attractive figure was manufacturered. Well about the size, the 1/8 is just a bit lackluster, while sitting on her chair she merely measures 16 cm. Sexy figures should at least be scaled 1/7 to unfold their appeal and details. Ami actually is a very detailed figure, her body, the clothes and also the chair look really nice. Unfortunately the pretty figure is just so tiny in my eyes, it’s my fault for not checking the scale properly in advance.

On another note, unrelated to the appeal of Maid Ami, I think that this figure is a bit too raunchy for me, of course as straight male I enjoy pretty girls in ecchi poses, but I feel a bit shameful to display her in my house. I like all my topless figures and I also think that Ami has cute genitals, but alltogether this ero figure is just a bit too ero for me.

A few weeks have passed since my last figure review, I just wasn’t in the zone, but today we will take a look at the Sorceress from Dragon’s Crown, one Wonderful Hobby Selection figure made by Good Smile Company.  The figures origin is the fantasy Rpg Dragon’s Crown by ATLUS. I did not have the chance to play it, but I bought the top expensive merchandise.

The pretty figure was released on the 6th of June 2016, Sorceress is scaled 1/7 with base she measures 24 cm and was sculpted by Deira. She was sold as GSC Shop exclusive under the Wonderful Hobby Selection label, it is an expensive thing, I feel like I spent a small fortune. I decided to get her nevertheless, I liked her presentation and playful, flirty look.

Though my first impression actually wasn’t really wonderful, the figure was shipped already connected to the base. Unfortunately on it’s way to me this connection snapped and as I opened the box, the broken peg came in sight. Annoyed as I was, I politely contacted the support. It is a costumer friendly support, you send them a picture of the damage with a few written words and they will help you. Yes, GSC send me a spare base, I was glad at first. Unfortunately the spare base arrived with a broken peg, too! I was surprised, honestly, Are You Shitting Me! Well, a reasonable demand would have been to ask for another base. I did not since I considered the damage spare base as an insult and so I fixed it myself somehow.

When everything is assembled, the figure has a cool and dynamic design. The figures pose shows burlesque incluence, a bit funny and a bit teasing. she is sitting or nearly lying on her interesting base with one leg pointing at the sky and her magical wand at hand. The base is quite a little diorama, a pile of nicely painted rocks, piled up on a stone floor with a scary skeleton soldier included. Also more smaller details are to discover, like the ” missing” shoe.

The figure is really attractive with her mature lady appearance and all the sex appeal. I love her face the most, though. The position of her eyebrows and the narrow painted eyes are so sexy and show the confidence of a real lady. I also like her distinctive full and glossy lips, she has such a lovely face overall. It’s framed by this pretty, curled, red – brown hair. The strands of it look great and elaborately sculpted. I really admire the effort that the sculptor put into making a really beautifully sculpted and painted face with some sexy direction (/∇＼*)｡o○♡.

Sorceress controversial ingame design is a little different compared to the figures, her breast size was reduced a lot for this figure and somehow the face portrays her in a more cheerful way than before. Still, she’s nicely buxom with wide hips, her reduced in volume, cleavage turned out so marvellous. Apparently she has very long legs, look at these mighty thighs, too.

The Sorceress is wearing a rather classic looking witch outfit, ok it has the focus set on being seductive with a corsage accentuated by lace, fingerless gloves and also a widely flowing dark purple skirt she looks very appealing, not to forget her lovely big witch hat, it’s so cool.

After unpacking and dealing with the protective film, the figures clothes are seriously dissaranged. Getting the belt closed as it was before took more than one attempt and paint transfer happened around her waist. One other thing is that her magic wand likes to fall off easily, the connection peg is a bit too short. In my opinion the Sorceress is a nicely desinged figure, but mass production appeared a little rushed on her, base connection and assembly after getting rid of the protective film, tarnish the otherwise positive impression.

Final Words

Ignoring the high price and the unexpected broken base incident one can’t deny what a beautiful figure GSC’s Sorceress is. The details and sculpting is indeed very appealing. The slightly alternative style of the Sorceress character looks really attractive, it’s a nice complex figure. Not perfect though, in the end I honestly have to say that, I expected a bit more from the Wonderful Hobby Selection name. I probably won’t try to buy another figure from that line. Although, the latest figure, Kouwan Seiki is really, really cute (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))).
