The figures release was in July 2019. She was sculpted by Shunzou. Natsukusa is scaled 1/6 and is 27 cm tall.

I was looking forward to receive the figure, although the first thing I noticed about it was the troublesome castoff feature, when she arrived at home her dress was already popped open the panties didn’t fit into place. So the first impression of this figure was a mayor letdown, honestly. I ordered this figure because of her enchanting appearance in dressed state. For the review I skipped the castoff feature, since the dress and stuff is too much trouble to deal with.

Natsukusa greets us with a wide and very sweet smile. Her aquamarine colored eyes are very clear and crisp, it’s nice how her eyes are aiming to the side. The figures face reminds me a little of Tony Taka just a bit more lively ^^.

The figure has nice brown hair with cleanly sculpted and carved strands, the parted bangs create an interesting look. One odd thing is that the left strand of hair is attached to the shoulder via 2 block shaped pegs, in my opinion a totally unnecessary thing. Surely the arm must come off, to take off the dress, but what has the hair to do with that.

Natsukusa apparently is a beautiful girl from the countryside, her body is very pretty and shows the figures nice womanly curves. Generally she has a sturdy build frame with nice bare legs, an ample bosom and wide hips.

The innocent summer dress doesn’t look especially innocent on her, though. Its a nicely sculpted summerly dress with a pretty lacy seamline, it looks light and thin and all the folds create a realistic outfit. The dotted ribbon around her waist is a nice additional detail. Around her left arm and right leg are thin white ribbons attached. I also love the huge straw hat of the figure, optionally you can also place a sunflower in the figures cleavage.

Pulling and tugging at her summer dress makes everything look a bit teasing and flirty without being too bold overall.

The pose and body language of the figure are great , I really like the tilted head in combination with the position of her eyes.

Final Words

Natsukusa overall is an enchanting anime figure with a wonderful holiday atmosphere, her overall appearance is great, although there are a few problems with her outfit, like I really can’t use her panties, what a shame XD
The character nevertheless has a really good looking face and a dynamite body.

I believe that without castoff option the figures dress would fit much better, here and there it hangs around a bit loose. The dress material on the other hand is very hard and allows not much movement and I would not recommend to put it on and off too often. Anyway the positive things outshine the bad things, Natsukusa is a wonderful figure barefoot and with straw hat.

The figure was released on January, 28th. On time without further delays, which became rare in this industry.

Takagi-san was sculpted by Itandi, the figure is scaled 1/7 and measures 16cm in height. She is sitting at her desk, it’s a great idea to present the figure in such a picturesque way, combined with the detailed school furniture.

I instantly became a fan of Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san, I like “first love” settings a lot, because iat the young age it is pure and very sweet. The manga based anime adaptation is a romantic comedy that consists of short stories.

The main characters are Takagi san and her friend Nishikata. Takagi san often lures Nishikata in for him embarrassing situations, not in a mean-spirited way, but much to her amusement. The poor guy often tries to counter her teasing, but that always ends in defeat for him. While being no match for her pranks, Nishikata would never abandon her. Her affection towards him is obvious, he has yet to realize his feelings for the charming young girl Takagi san.

The desk and chair look very good, like a realistic miniature of the mass produced school furniture that you would probably find in every japenese school. I like how the book and workbook are placed on her desk and the super detailed writing in them is also very cool. The smaller utensils on the table also look nice and adorable.

I actually fell in love with the charming young lady, her laughing is really enchanting and she has a beautiful smile. Nishikata and Takagi san attend the same class, but she seems to be more mentally matured and smarter than him. Nevertheless she finds interest in him and enjoys when they spend time together. To lure him out of his comfort zone and shell she uses her teasing and pranks, to some it might look mean, but it’s just her set of tools to get close to him.

The figure is an adaptation of her first appearance in the anime, where she observes what Nishikata who sits next to her is plotting. It’s a casually charming pose and the figure wears a curious expression on her beautiful face.

The manga, that is illustrated by Yamamoto Souichirou features a very cute character design with a big head, the simple yet pretty hairstyle reveals a big forehead, she also has nice thin eyebrows and big hazel brown eyes. The mouth is wide, it’s level of detail is really great. Her lively face is adorable and has a certain mischievous element.

Takagi san wears a nice looking sailor based school uniform with a white blue design, the short sleeves indicate that it is the summer version. There’s also the red tie and the other things a school girl should have.

The figure is sculpted with an convincing articulation, her arms rest on the table with the right hand she supports her head. It’s nice how her left forearm rests on her workbook, the workbook has been sculpted with an cavity for it.

Final Words

I’m really happy about this really great figure of Takagi san ♡. Itandi and Phat Company really pulled it of to adapt the sweet 2D character into a figure. It’s been some time since I’ve watched an anime as sweet and enchanting as Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san. I’m quite pleased about everything about this figure. Unfortunately I’m too old for her, but fortunately it’s just anime and I can happily accept her with open arms as my waifu, she is a lovely character with a wonderful personality. I would buy a matching figure of Nishikata, would be cool if Phat Company had plans for it.

A second season of Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san is at least planned.

This figure was manufactured by Emontoys and released in early November 2018. She is scaled 1/7 and measures 23 cm in height. The sculptor Takahama Kan is relatively new in the business and Emontoys hasn’t made that many figures so far, I didn’t really know what to expect, but I was really convinced by the promo pictures from the shops.

I don’t consider myself as a fan of Sword Art Online, I have watched every season, but with very mixed impressions. Nevertheless I have enjoyed the movie and it’s lasted adaption SAO: Alicization has been very good so far as well.

This is already my second figure of Asuna after the Titania version and later this year I will receive a third one ^^.

Asuna is a friendly and caring person, she survived the Sword Art Online incident and doesn’t show any mayor aftereffects from all the mess she went through because of it. in Sword Art Online she is the doting all time girlfriend of Kirito and has a high tolerance towards all the female competition from other girls that Kirito is befriended with.

After the SAO disaster Asuna still plays MMORPG’s, she and her friends play Alfheim Online. Asuna and Kirito have a virtual daughter named Yui and a comfortable house in the virtual world, that is often used as conspirative meeting place for them and their group of friends. The outfit and appearance of this figure is based on Asuna in Alfheim Online.

Asuna’s time to shine was in Sword Art Online II during the Mother Rosario episodes. There she met the player Yuuki and her Party. In no time Asuna became close friends with Yuuki. It was a nicely written arc, heartwarming but also very tragic ending, even though I have rewatched it for a second time I ended up bawling and teary eyes.

Asuna was captured while wearing a serious expression, in general she is a cheerful person, but when you get on her bad side you’ll get stabbed. Overall her face looks great, the shape of her head is appealing and she has beautiful eyes decals. Everyone in Alfheim Online is a Fairy like creature with pointy ears, I really like Asuna with pointy ears.

The figures hair is a good adaptation of Asuna’s appearance in the anime. It looks very pretty with its nice sculpting and dynamically flowing long strands. The combination of bright and darker shades of light blue is just great.
At the last third the strands length they start to fade into transparent material. The level of detail is really fantastic.

The outfit of Asuna has a great design, it’s a snow white uniform like dress with a dark blue rim with realistically sculpted wrinkles and folds. Around her waist she is wearing a fluttery cape. It looks really nice how the clothes seems to follow the figures movements. I also like the detailed sleeves at the arms, the blue lines have been applied carefully.

Asuna wears dark blue thigh highs and pretty boots which design also follows the one from the outfit.

The scabbard is attached at her black belt and she holds her rapier sword drawn, ready for some action.

An optional part of the figure are the blue, translucent fairy wings, although finding the small hole for the peg is a bit tricky, Asuna’s figure looks very cool with the wings attached to her back.

The figures relatively wide base is clear blue with light circles on it, that look like stylized impacts of water drops. Attached to the base is a translucent part in shape of wide circular swirl that moves around her feet.

Final Words

Asuna – Undine version is a wonderful figure, her stunning outfit that combines the colors white and blue in a very appealing way. The figure has been put into a very dynamic way that presents her detailed hair with flowing strands. It’s also nice how the clothes seem to follow the movement of her body. The scowl on her face gives her a cool fighting expression. Usually I prefer my figures to have a smile, but I sometimes make exceptions. Judging from my impression of this figure, Emontoys appears to be a very good figure manufacturing company.
