Asuna is my very first Blue Archive figure, I generally don’t like bunny girl outfits, but here I made an exception for the exceptionally beautiful Ichinose Asuna – Bunny Girl version from Max Factory.

I would say Asuna – bunny girl version is a typical Max Factory figure like we love them, nicely made, sexy and with a great facial expression.The figure was sculpted by Chieri, who made a lot of nice figures in the past and apparently still does, it’s nice seeing sculptor Chieri at work for this figure again with his unique skill and technique applied to the sculpt.

Asuna’s official character design is made by Mx2J. With her bunny ears Asuna is measuring 29 cm at scale 1/7. Ichinose Asuna was released in July 2023. The first thing that meets the eye is the figures enormous… , frisbee sized base. It’s covered by soft, white fake fur, the outer rim has a root wood like texture.

The base is that big because it has to fit the ridiculously long hair of the girl, I noticed her impractical long hair at some point. You can also display the figure without base, the small stool holds her up properly and the tips of her hair are looking sturdy enough.

Blue Archive is a lovely smartphone game, I like playing it nearly daily to improve the stats of my crew. The Gameplay is fun with the military theme and tactical possibilities. It’s story feels very much inspired by the setting of Academy City from A Certain Scientific Railgun with shady adults and students with a heart of gold and rifles in their hands.

You take the role of a teacher to help the female students with their everyday life and problems. It involves a lot of interaction and flirting with the female studentship. I can’t help but to think that I am a morally questionable teacher in this game, but since the flirting leads to nothing serious or more questionable things

it’s still a joyful adventure game and it’s a lot of fun to interact with the sweet, weird and eccentric female students from different schools and their funny antics.

Ichinose Asuna is a student of Millennium Science School, Asuna is generally portrayed as a playful, free spirited and unpredictable character. The outfit is based on a special event mission from the game where a C&C team is on an infiltration mission disguised as bunny girls. That was a truly hilarious event.

Asuna is actually quite the beautiful girl and her appearance is enchanting. Most likely also because of the super detailed face with it’s smooth facial features, I like her stubs nose very much and the sculpted teeth showing smile is lovely. Her eye is wide and angled, round eyes are indicating innocence, angled eyes generally indicate the opposite like we know uhh from adult anime culture media, but that is another appeal point of Ichinose Asuna.

I love how her right eye is covered by bangs of her hair and the playful facial expression is enchanting, although in this adaptation she looks kind of crazy from particular angles, not in a bad way, but she definitely does.

Max Factory did put a lot of effort into adding lots of detail to suit. The skin tight suit accentuates Asuna’s beautiful abdomen and the general sexy bodyline of hers, the folds and wrinkles nearly create a realistic look.

The light blue color looks good in combination with the figures pale skintone. The pantyhose with thigh segment is nice, although it’s no fishnet design, the half transparency of the black color looks extremely good on her legs. The silky matte color adds a good contrast to the metallic glow of the bunny suit.

Other parts of her outfit are white pumps, elbow long gloves, a collar with bow blue tie and the obviously present bunny ears headpiece, the natural color at the insides of the ears were a good idea.

Ichinose Asuna generally has a beautiful body, the proportions are perfect nearly everywhere with beautiful hips and nice legs. The bosom though is simply impressive it’s not only huge, it’s also very well sculpted, normally we don’t get such nicely sculpted breasts on fanservice heavy characters. The bunny suit top holds them in place and creates a beautiful cleavage with the illusion of softness and jiggle. The iconic beauty mark of the character is also present at the right place on her left breast.

The Ichinose Asuna – Bunny Girl version is a little gem, as figure she offers everything necessary in a very convincing package. She is cute, sexy, beautiful and in my opinion just drop dead gorgeous. she is honestly not my favorite character from Blue Archive, but her figure really convinces me, excellent craftsmanship paired with an attractive character design, I hope Max Factory will make more figures as nice as his one in the future.

The Asra Archer design always has been beautiful and attractive, the model kits design always has been based on the design of illustrator Nidy -2D-. He also provided the design for this figure of this review.

For the big figure of the Asra Archer character he added more meat to her, as we see an increase in overall body volume on the figure. The belly is cute and the character has bigger boobs than the original design.

Instead of making a 1/12 scaled scale figure Kotobukiya decided to inflate her size to 1/0,5 scale, giving the figure a massive height of 36 cm. Asra Archer was released in the end of May 2023.

There was a version with bonus erotic face that you would have had to order at the Kotobukiya page, but since it was quite expensive I went for the normal version which was already expensive enough with its 26,000 Yen + 13.000 Yen for EMS shipping.

The figure is obviously very cute with her purple eyes and the blush below them, Asra has a deeply carved open mouth with upper front teeth line, it’s a quite sweet smile that also puts a smile on my face.

She has a very cute hairstyle with a natural blonde hair color. The bangs are placed the middle between her eyebrows and the strands at the sides, it ends with a gigantic ponytail at the backside.

The figures design is wholesome a happy robot girl with a dynamite body, while the Megami Device character became an fully assembled scale figure, she still need assembly similar to a model kit. Several parts can be taken off and other parts can be attached I would be lost without the provided manual, but fortunately the parts snap together tightly and stay in place.

When exchanging armor and leg parts the figure provides a second display option, she can lie down on the included pillow.

It’s a good idea, but the limited viewing angle when the figure lies on her back reduces the alternative display option to nothing more than a nice extra, although it’s somewhat unnecessary to be honest.

The default pose is my favorite I can admire Asra’s nice body and happy face at towering 36 cm.

I love the red and white color thee of the figure, the skintight bodysuit is really cool, also her mechanical parts look amazingly good with the shiny finish and overall very clean paintjob.

Asra Archer is armed, she has an bow in her hands and a sheathed sword at her side. The bow can be taken off to make the already gigantic figure a little less high.

The figures jumping pose is both dynamic and cute, the raised arms reveal the actually pretty armpits. The pose also amplifies the beautiful body line also on the backside, her butt looks great.

In summary Asra Archer is a great figure and it is an interesting concept that a small model kit action figure was turned into a really big scale figure. I admit that the figure won’t fit into any of my display cabinets. Anyway, Asra is beautiful, cute and has a sexy body.

Phat Company decided to make figures of Juliana Eberhardt and Riela Marcellis, based on these illustrations. Riela was released in December 2022, she was sculpted by Yadokari, who already worked on many stunningly beautiful and promising figures, it’s worth to take a look at his past and future works.

Riela is the typical happy girl at the beach, even playing with a ball. The figure has very long hair, generally I would say it’s red, but there also is this crazy gradient from red to light blue.

There is a side ponytail on the left side of her head, it’s slightly shorter and the strands just end slightly under her hips. Her hairstyle also features cute bangs hanging down between her eyes.

Riela is real cutie with big round, red eyes, it’s good that they point to the left as it gives her a stronger expression and a very lively appearance. Her face has a cute looking nose and also a pretty open mouth sculpt; the front teeth line is showing and lipstick has been applied to her lover lip. The general make up coordinate is beautiful and the subtle blush makes this figure quite adorable.

The beautiful bodyline features big boobs with a sense of natural droopiness in the sculpt. More attention grabbing are the very wide hips, the big butt and the thick thighs of hers. All Raita girls have long legs and also this character is no exception in that regard either. The beach ball blocks a lot of her sexy body, the belly is covered by the ball and the butt is covered by crazy colored hair strands. aybe I should have tried taking it off.

The figure is wearing a pink bikini set that has a polka dotted pattern printed on it with a pink pareo wrapped around her hips.

It is a little unfortunate that the material of the bikini top appears thicker than it would have been necessary and it generally a bit roughly made. That problem actually only appears to be present at the bikini top, though.

At her feet she is wearing stylish sandals. smaller details like the rings around her right ankle and around the left wrist add a more lively appearance to the whole figure. The outfit is accompanied by a pattern matching ribbon and flowers in her hair, you can’t be on holiday without the typical hibiscus blossom in your hair.

We have a happy beach girl figure of Riela Marcellis, on the good side she is indeed very cute and shows very good body sculpting with a sexy bodyline. The sculpt is cleverly blocking any scandalous angles of Riela with strands of hair and a beachball, like the illustration already indicated. The quite nice figure suffers a little by the generally thick appearance of the clothing, this is holding down the figures potential a bit, since she is not a castoff-able figure there is no need to make these parts extra sturdy.

Finer sculpting of the outfit parts would have elevated the figure a lot more, otherwise this figure is big, pretty and cute that I like to have in my collection.

I have not much experience with Atelier games, several years ago I have been trying to play Atelier Totori, but I was unable to get used to the games limited time window to fulfill certain requirements, build a ship, bake cake, do alchemy, collect material, fight monsters AHHHHHHHH! It’s a shame nevertheless since I liked Totori and the adventure was cute .

I came back to the franchise for Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout which was a wonderful adventure game with a good and enjoyable battle system.

The first figure that I have ordered from the franchise is Lila Decyrus, I really liked her appearance and so I decided to buy the figure. I have a figure of Ryza on order, it’s the big one from Phat Company! it will hopefully be released in May.

ALTER released this figure of Lila Decyrus in March 2022, she was sculpted by Amato, she is scaled 1/7 and is measuring 23 cm in height.

Without a doubt the figure is perfectly sculpted and painted, she has a great looking and very detailed outfit and features a thick and sexy bodyline.

Aside from the mature presence of Lila, her beautiful hair is styled in a rather playful manner.

The hair appears soft and thick, the front hair is great looking with one eye nearly completely covered it’s adding a nice touch.

The character has a long braid at the backside and dynamically sculpted twintails at the sides, the transparency, gradient effect and the addition of some red stripes make it very pretty and elaborate.

Lila Decyrus is from the Oren race that lived in the Underworld, what should explain her pale skintone and furry forearms.

The Toridamono artstyle of the game is supposed to be cute and soft, so the stoic nature of Lila’s personality aside, she still has a cute round face.

The parted lips add a lot of detail to the face. It’s still a little bit too expressionless in my opinion.

Although the eyes are pretty and anime styled the figures gaze is kind of sad and it feels like something is missing.

The outfits combination of golden ornaments and dark blue colors is pleasing to the eye.

Lila is wearing body stockings, at certain areas the outfit consists of more sturdy material combined with armor pieces all around her body.

The outfit looks incredibly detailed, also the nice color selection and the creative design, are very well done.

The exotic design appears to be a battle uniform from the White Fang tribe from a far away country.

Her legwear is quite brutal and deadly with these long spikes on knees and shins, the metallic paint on them create a realistic appearance.

Her lower body is covered by a thin strap of cloth at the front and back, it’s only a bit disappointing that her buttocks are covered like that. On her 1,64 m character size Lila is blessed with very attractive womanly curves and so is her figure.

As fighter type Lila has a sturdy, compact body with indeed very big boobs and wide hips. The thighs volume is very prominent compared to the lower legs. I think this is a very nice figure, it portrays Lila’s character very well. Her detailed battle outfit looks gorgeous.

The natural pose is quite appealing in person. While I think that her face is accurate in terms of facial features and stoic expression, I can’t help myself but wanting to see Lila smile a little. Nevertheless, I still think that this one from ALTER is the best adaptation of Lila Decyrus.

I coincidentally received this figure portraying a cute ninja from my friend Miette some time ago.
Akatsuki was released in December 2015, she is scaled 1/7 and measures 19 cm, because her character is depicted as small that is about right. As already mentioned she was manufactured by the now deceased Aquamarine. Amasu was in charge of sculpting her. Back then she merely cost 13.000 Yen.
I didn’t even watch Log Horizon at that time, but some months later I did… Geez, I really tried liking Log Horizon, It was unfortunately not to my liking.

I’m really curious what has been happening behind the scenes with Aquamarine, I mean how can a sub label company from Good Smile Company can end up in bankrupt. Isn’t there some kind of support from the mother company? Aquamarine actually manufactured and planned around 147 figures, most of them were very good. Fortunately most pending figure projects have been taken over by GSC, which again is odd, but that’s business.

The figure is quite nice to look at with her cute face with the friendly expression Akatsuki puts a smile on my face. The sculpted stubs nose is truly cute and goes well with her slightly parted lips. I really like her dark purple hair with the long ponytail and the interesting design of the strands at the front of her head, which remind me of cutted paper stripes.

The figure is dressed in a ninja outfit, it only makes sense that the chosen colors are low profile and stealth. A combination of anthracite, olive green and red, as the only popping color on Akatsuki.

Her outfit is nicely designed and looks great, there are details like the small armor bits and other smaller details. The cargo pants are bulky, the white belt is a nice color highlight at her feet she has antique looking shinobu shoes.

The tiny bag and weapon holster at the back give everything a complete feel and finish. Those detached sleeves reveal a bit of skin, can’t be a bishoujo figure without a little bit of that.
She has the standard ninja weapons, a laito and some daggers, those daggers can be placed into Akatsuki’s hand, but fall off easily. Aside from that everything is nice made with attention to detail.

In summary it’s a nice figure with a very good quality. This figure of Akatsuki with her petite build, the nicely designed and naturally styled Shinobu outfit is a great figure. Her simply adorable face is a very cute.
