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 whole lot of figure adaptions have been made of Sora, she is surprisingly popular, given her unsocial personality,
that she showed in her VN and anime adaption Yosuga no Sora, but she is a caring little sister. The illustration that this figure is based on was created by Hashimoto Takashi who was in charge of the character designs in the VN. 

The bunny style version of Sora was sculpted by one of my favorite figure artists, Hashimoto Ryou. She was released in late April 2017. I received her before I started my 3 week long vacation this year, so I publish this review a bit late.

The figure is scaled 1/7, comes with a stool that has a magnetic sitting surface to hold Sora in place, the trademark black plush bunny is also part of the set. Alltogether while sitting on the stool, the figure has a size of 27 cm.

Sora has her hair tied into two twintails of impressive length, the deep hanging fringe made photography a bit difficult, but the hidden areas give the pictures an artistic touch. The figure has shiny, yelllow gray ish eyes and the face is quite pretty and has a somehow erotic expression, the slightly open mouth with the sculpted lips is really nice on her. Sora’s gaze over her shoulder is an halfway interested, also halfway desinterested one. while nibbling on a single cherry.

She is a very interesting figure that conveys a strong atmosphere, it’s not what you would describe as cute, although by default Sora is someone I would consider as cute. In this figure adadaption though, Sora appears quite mature with a mysterious aura, the whole figure radiates a sense of elegance, a bunny dress in general is not something I would consider as elegant at all, but Sora with her un-boxum body manages to give the outfit a refined, mature appearance.

I really like Sora in a bunny suit, the slender body and less endowed curves make it look nice and not sexually overloaded as other bunny girl figures that have big boobs and butts. Of course I like those as well, but there is a reason why I have chosen this figure of Sora over the dozen amazing bunny girls from FREEing, like Himejima Akeno. 

The sculpting of her body is really detailed, be it the arms, the lovely thighs or the modest chest, it all looks beautiful. My personal favorite aspect is the detailed sculpting of the backside with her shoulders and upper back.

Sora is quite petite and thin, but she is also a beautiful young girl. Compared to the slim upper body Sora proudly presents her hips in this nicely articulated arched back pose. The pose also lets her butt look firm and attractive,
I also should mention her very pretty legs, the on the stool position lets them appear longer than they actually are. In her league Sora is a beautiful and cool bunny girl in a nicely designed bunnysuit with puffy bunny ears, collar and the obligatory cuffs around the wrists. The top part of the bunny suit is painted in pearl white, it’s shiny texture makes it quite appealing to the eye. Obviously also the sculpting with the seams and creases is perfectly done. Her hips and legs are clad in a dark brown pantyhose with good shading effects that accentuate the nicely shaped legs and bottom.

Final Words

Kasugano Sora – bunny style version is a marvelous, attractive, slender bunny girl figure, her articulation and overall presentation are perfect and create a certain atmosphere. Sora looks just cool, she doesn’t feel cheerful, but she is also not especially fanservice heavy, she is a surprisingly classy looking character for someone in such clothes. This Sora is another awesome and elaborately manufacturered figure made by Alter, but also something special in my eyes.

I’m often drawn to figures in this category, they are pretty, attractive and distribute a summerly atmosphere.

My latest one is the Magic Bullets – Pin Up Girl from Kalmia Project, a figure based on the art of Sasaoka Gungu, before she was announced I already liked this sweet and especially nicely drawn illustration of her.

Her release date was in mid November 2016, my convenient excuse for reviewing her somehow late, was the slow Sal shipping, that took like 6 weeks. I liked Pin Up Girl because of her more creative, casual beach pose and tanlines, the figure is scaled 1/6, in her compact pose she measures 17 cm. She turned out nice and obviously elaborately sculpted.

She is a curvy girl with a more sturdier frame, as the tan lines indicates she might be an active swimmer. The figure has voluptuous thighs and strong looking arms. She has ample breasts as well. Overall she is very attractive and good looking. The figures hands and feet are extremely detailed, every single joint is clearly noticeable as well as the nails.

The skimpy bikini is probably not working for many sporty beach activities, but all right for relaxing at the beach.
The bikini accentuates the soft skin nicely, the triangle top covers the crucial areas and is slightly transparent without revealing too much. Nevertheless it’s a daring bikini, that tightly hugs her impressive boobs, the springy effect of her skin looks sexy. I also like the separate bikini holder straps, the distance from the body creates a nice and realistic look.

Unfortunately the ribbons at the front weren’t sculpted separately, they are part of the bikini and painted inside, on close inspection it’s slightly sloppy, although it’s just a minor thing, separate ribbons would’ve looked more airy.

The figure has beautiful dark purple hair. it is nicely sculpted with nicely separated strands and has a clean appearance, her extremely nice looking fringe shows a nicely applied reflection line that enhances the great look a bit more.

The face is compared to the illustration appears wider and the eyes slightly smaller. she also has a slightly more predator – ish gaze. Unfortunately, I’m a bit torn about the sculpting of her head, it feels like it’s limited to be pretty just from a few limited angles. Nevertheless from the right angles she looks sweet and unfolds her seductive charm.

In general bikini figures are made with an arched back, this figure though does the opposite, it does both, creating a more casual appearance and shows a belly fold, that again highlights the softly sculpted curves of her attractive body.The pose also accentuates her spine in an appealing way. The figures base is also nicely made and detailed, it’s resembling a real beach, there is a starfish and some blueish surge effect painted on it, the base looks really nice.

I also decided to get this figure because of her interesting tan lined skin. The skin color is nicely chosen, it gives the figure and exotic atmosphere, also the transition from tan to pale skin wasn’t done too sharp, it’s pleasing for the eye.

Final Words

Overall the Pin Up Girl from Kalmia Project turned out very good, she is a big figure with and interesting pose with nicely articulated limbs and joints. The figure also has a great looking curvy body, the sculptor did a great job with every area of her buxom body. Her skimpy skin revealing bikini also accentuates everything in a flattering way.

The Pin Up Girl also has very nice colors, next to her purple hair and general shading, her attractive tan lined skin is most obvious. Tan is a nice and barely used feature on a figure and a nice color palette for her was chosen.

She also comes with a very appealing base, I must have buried it under all this sand, but it’s a nice base, believe me.

One minor, although completely unimportant flaw are the front ribbons at her bikini. I’m only more upset that the face doesn’t convince me from every angle, although everything else is really nice, this bothers me.
