Cecile was released in August 2022, her character was designed by Mataro. The figure was sculpted by Fortunation, a sculptor who started being active since 2019. The pretty Elf is scaled 1/6 and measuring around 25 cm, when adding her into your collection you should take into account that she is a quite tall figure.

I’ve bought her as Antenna Shop Limited Edition version, since it offered a more fancy looking base, a wallscroll and an alternative faceplate.

The normal edition has no extras and a simple base. The base of the limited edition is a nicely designed golden circle with fake grass on it. Mataro already designed the cute Elf Kukuru, it’s nice how the design os a good match with Cecile, nearly like sisters.

The figure has orange – blonde hair with a gradient effect on it, it’s a very nice color tone. Her hairstyle is a modern bob cut at the front, but the Elf actually has long hair at the backside, the long wavy strands are finely sculpted and shows dynamic movement into the left direction.

One eye is covered by the hair, I generally like such details, it’s making the figure look cute yet also venturous. Her facial features are beautiful, and applied with high precision. The eyes are very detailed and the aquamarine color appears very lively.

Cecile is showing a very kind expression with a fairly good amount of blush. The figures optional faceplate gives the figure a “troubled” expression, as if she is not amused by how revealing her outfit is. Although I did order the special edition because of the additional expression, I prefer the standard one.

Cecile is a big and sturdy girl with perfectly voluptuous proportions, while still maintaining an athletic body line. The figures butt is really standing out proud, nice and round, accompanied by strong looking legs.

I think it’s a nice balance of body volume and muscular appearance, Cecile looks plenty strong and sexy. I like to display the elf with bare hips, together with the smooth looking abs on her abdomen, she simply looks fantastic. The bright pinkish skintone with it’s very smooth texture is attractive and the properly applied shading creates a nice depth on the figure.

Her outfit is light and breezy, the dominant colors are aquamarine, gold and white. Beneath to bronze colored armor parts the figure wears fabric resembling shiny white silk, like these fingerless gloves, the stretched stockings or the erotic panties that only cover the most crucial areas. It’s actually very lewd how the panties dig in the middle of the cameltoe.

She is equipped with some armor parts at her sides, shins and right arm. The metallic bronze color is nice and the level of detail is very well done. What is also great about her outfit are all those small details of the outfit, there are small ribbons and fantasy styled metallic ornaments placed all over the figure.

The breasts are covered in the middle and it looks quite nice that way. At her back she is wearing a cape like things that branches off into two divided pieces, color, sculpting and transparency are top notch. A different breast piece is also provided, she has nicely sculpted breasts, they are big, but not so big that they would disturb the figures athletic direction of the design. There are additional nipple covers that you would have to peel of on your own, to have a good view of her nipples.

As Elf this figure is using a kind of unusual weapon, a wide double edged sword. It’s somehow cool looking with it’s shape and additional details, but why do they choose this color, nothing on this figure is dark blue, it seems as Cecile bought herself a limited color variation at the weapon store.

There is also a very short skirt, while I think that it is actually unnecessary, since since it’s too short to cover anything at all and the figure is half naked anyway.

Final Words

I haven’t bought a Vertex figure in previous years, but Cecile is one of Vertex very best figures. She is beautiful, cute and without a doubt is Cecile a very attractive figure, that offers a lot of fanservice with her breathtaking proportions and a marvelous bodyline. The figure features everything we love about Elves but adds quite a bit of muscles and meat to it. It is a high quality figure with next to zero imperfections, which is not happening that often in this hobby.

Kiyou was released in December 2020 and is scaled 1/6 and with 260 mm and the extra volume of the character she has a quite impressive appearance. The sculptor in charge was Tsutakaze Toshi.
The figure was manufactured by Daiki Kougyou.

I’ve always been a fan, their choice of characters to be turned into figures is often really good, it are mainly curvy ero manga characters, that range from demon girls, sexy housewife, girlfriend or Walkure Romanze characters.

The character has been illustrated by Akasa Ai. The figure has the following parts included in the box, a green grass base, a staff as weapon (the tiny circles at the top can be rotated), There are two hair pieces; one with visor and one without, exchangeable arms and a torso without clothes are also included.

Obviously Kikyou is a pointy eared Elf, I mainly ordered her because of that, which might be a bad impulse to spend 20.000 Yen.

Kikyou is a pretty Elf, the cute head is great. The face is nice, on one side it has a mature motherly warmth, but it also looks youthful and bubbly. The eye decals are very well made. The nose is nicely sculpted, but her open mouth is really outstanding with its level of detail and the addition of a tongue. What I also really like about her is the beautiful hair, sculpting and coloring are great.

I think the figure is not bad at all, but I will go into detail about her few shortcomings and the good sides in the following text.

Kikyou is a very nice big figure, she has a great looking outfit. Cape and dress create a good combination. You can display her with cape or without, I like her with just the cocktail dress and choker.

Everything looks pleasant when she is fully or partially dressed, she holds the magical staff tightly under her breast which looks amusing. The cape covers over her shoulders has a nice pattern.

Daiki Kougyou figures nearly always provide a cast off feature. It offers different display options, when swapping parts color transfer can happen, those paint transfers are often easy to remove, but it’s still annoying.

In the nude display option her boobs and wide hips are exposed. In any case I prefer the dressed display option, the nude display option doesn’t look as good as on other Daiki Kougyou figures.

The cocktail dress has a tight fit and accentuates the figures beautiful body, the belly is partially exposed. The blue color looks really great and bold and the white parts increase the contrast. The area of bare legs between boots and dress is very attractive.

Overall, the figures is pretty and the face is simply gorgeous with the detailed sculpt and adorable happy expression. The overall quality is good, the paint is cleanly applied and there are no rough areas or ugly seamlines on the sculpt at all. The only bigger flaw is that the back of the exchangeable torso doesn’t align properly.
