Today I will show you a very pretty Sonico figure from Wave, after making number of 1/10 scaled Beach Queens, they returned with nice figures recently of much bigger scale and muh nicer quality. Sonico – bikiny style version has been released in November 2020. The figure is scaled 1/7 which make her 21,5 cm in height, sculpted by Zuiko.

The figure comes with a candy pink base with fluffy white plush on top, not really fitting for the beach, but the figure could also show Sonico during one of the indoor gravure idol model jobs.

I actually planned to review the Sonico – Summer Vacation version from Orchid Seed, but after some brawl with Nippon Yasan they cancelled all my orders and I got my money back. Unfortunately I didn’t find a good deal for her afterwards, maybe another time. Thx to all the delays 2020 to 2021 my carefully planned preorders changed a lot. I’ll have to pay several figure orders in these next 2 months, it’s a bit of a bad situation for me, that hopefully ends soon.

The figures face is quite adorable, sparkling pink eyes, blushed cheeks and a happy open mouth. The sculpting of her mouth could have been a bit more detailed, but that is like the only thing to criticize on this really nice bikini figure.

The hair on this Sonico figure is longer than on other figures of her, it’s done very detailed and has a lovely pink to sky blue gradient. Her trademark headphones look extremely detailed and the bow is made from metal.

Sonico also wears a beautiful necklace, as detailed as her nice headphones.

This Sonico reveals a lot of skin, the nearly nude appearance of the figure aside, it actually creates a happy beach atmosphere. Overall she has nice and gentle colors, Sonico has a beautiful skintone, a beautiful body anyway.

Super Sonico the ambassador of thicc/curvy body, back then Sonico was basically the first popular anime style character with a more curvy anatomy who appeals to both men and women, even with her sexy body she always has been portrayed as a friendly and good girl with an innocent personality. Many figures and illustrations have been made, not all are especially innocent. I bought a number of Sonico figures back in the days, but only the ones I liked a lot.

The bikini, as skimpy as it is still is made very detailed, realistic looking wrinkles and a tight fit, it’s a little funny how the bikini top appears to stressed from holding up Sonic’s proud assets.

Sonico’s flirty pose, is quite bold but with such a cute face one can’t accuse her of being lewd. Honestly, the pose is very good, bend over Sonico highlights her beautiful chest before her arms and sticks out her nice round butt. It is a similar pose like the Sonico – Racing version from Max Factory has, but not quite the same.

The boobs and cleavage look very inviting and soft, the illusion of the soft skin is very well done. Her hips and legs also look soft and squishy, the bikini bottom cuts deep into her skin, wearing it for more than a few hours is probably not advisable. I really like the articulations of her arms and the hands that are placed on top of her leg.

Final Words – This 1/7 scaled figure of Super Sonico is nice, Wave did a very good job her, everything is nicely detailed and cleanly done. She was sculpted very well wih a beautiful body line, it shows Sonico with attractive body fat articulated in a sexy pose. The skimpy clothes work very well in combination with the figures body and the signs of weight and stretch limits are visible, which is more fun than it sounds like. Additionally she has very nice hair and headphones, the face is pretty and cute. Alltogether the Super Sonico – bikini style is one of the better Sonico figures and quite enchanting.

She was manufactured by Kotobukiya and released in August 2020, the figure is scaled 1/7 and measures 26 cm.

Some months ago I started watching an anime named Phantasy Star Online 2: Episode Oracle. Where 3 episodes from the Phantasy Star Online 2 game were adapted into a longer running anime. It’s one of these 25 episode long shows, that are always fun to watch as the story unfolds, it’s nothing mind blowing but a great way to waste some time with an entertaining science fiction fairy tale.

Phantasy Star Online 2: Episode Oracle featured a character Named Matoi, a really pretty and friendly girl whose backstory slowly gets revealed, she first starts as cute side kick of main character Ash.

Before I watched the anime I saw this figure up for preorders, I liked it, but I did set up a condition. In case I would like the character in the anime I’ll preorder her. Unfortunately Matoi had the voice of an angel (Satou, Satomi) and I had to order this figure. The figure is not a 100% adaptation from the game design, Kotobukiya made a collaboration with illustrator Nidy, who gave Matoi a slightly different look and appearance.

Matoi has an adorable face with a cute and friendly expression. There are detailed eye decals and strong blush marks. Her hairstyle underlines the characters cuteness, it’s nicely colored hair, light purple with light blue color at the tips.

A thing that made Phantasy Star Online 2: Episode Oracle stand out in my opinion are the legs of the female characters with their realistic looking proportions and length like the Japanese girl next door. The legs in this anime look so cute and attractive. Additionally everyone has pointy ears which is a big bonus, Elves with nice legs Oh my gosh ♡＾▽＾♡.

Her outfit is inspired by sci-fi and traditional Japanese religious robe elements and of course it’s intended to look sexy. When you watched the first few episodes from the anime you wouldn’t expect it, but Matoi really kicks some ass in her battlesuit, albeit the anime outfit shows a lot less cleavage . I like the used colors a lot, the combination of bold red, white and light blue is really awesome.

The Nidy version really shows the illustrators style, Matoi has a great looking body with a slim waistline and wide hips, she also has wonderful legs and a beautiful figure line in general. Sculptor Sakaki Kaoru did a very good job in adapting the style of PSO 2 and Nidy together, turning it into this appealing figure.

From the backside the figure looks really great as well, first because of all the details of her outfit and second because of the figures beautiful body line based on the PSO 2 character design embellished by Nidy, the thighs are so good.

Matoi has an appealing pose, her torso a little bit leaned forward and shows a nice arched back. She has positioned her left raised index fingers before her mouth, maybe that means, that we should not ask about the thing she is hiding in her right hand behind her back. It’s a pretty, white lily though…

The figure features a very clean paintjob, the tiny and delicate signs are applied with sharp and clean screen printing technique. Additionally the figure of Matoi has good shading.

The generally quality is very good, Kotobukiya is a company I had great and not so great figures from in the past. Matoi though looks very good, the sculpting of character and outfit are very well done.

Final Words – Matoi – Nidy 2D version from Kotobukiya turned out very well, the science fictional outfit is quite stunning, the space shuttle white combined with bold red is really an eyecatcher. The figure portrays Matoi as sweet and also, without a doubt as very attractive girl, the sculptor did a great job with making everything look beautiful and appealing, the figure shows the aesthetics from both the origin Phantasy Star Online 2 and the work of the illustratpr Nidy. Did I mention that she has great looking thighs already hahaha ?

What I like a lot, is that the figure still carries the gentle personality from Matoi, while she is dressed in her battle suit.

From the very few figures, that I received 2020, she is one of the prettiest, so it was a good decision to order her.
