Amemiya Natsumi is a character created by illustrator Kekemotsu featured in one of his doujinshi named “Gokuusu Mizugi de Okasaretagari ga Kakusenai” Where Natsumi works as teacher, and advisor of the swim club of a boys school, you can probably imagine what kind of story that is.

On his Twitter account Kekemotsu has many illustrations of Amemiya Natsumi, most aren’t nearly as daring as the one that was chosen to be turned into a figure, I actually would have preferred her to be in a different pose, that is my problem. But nevertheless, I really fell in love with her character design and didn’t really think twice about ordering her.

Original Character Amemiya Natsumi has been released in January 2022. She has been sculpted by Deira, who also was in charge of Dragon’s Crown – Sorceress and Peach Maid – Ami and some more A really talented figure sculptor. This figure has been made at an amazing 1/5 scale, although they have chosen a compact pose for her.

The figures body has a nice volume and her features are nice, smooth and thicc.

Overall her face turned out extremely well made in terms of craftsmanship and it successfully gives the figure an extremely lively expression. I think that very important on a relatively big figure, she has to look convincing. Her face is really adorable and charming, starting with these beautifully designed eyes and raised eyebrows. The facial features are very smooth and pretty, too. Of course the figure shows strong arousal. She has a sensual mouth with the upper teeth showing and tongue sticking out, her tongue is wide and super shiny.

A tongue out expression can easily look kind of derpy, but I think that the sculpt of her face is really beautiful and the horny, flirty expression of her is both cute and erotic. Her swimsuit, yes she is wearing one in case you didn’t notice, has a nice design with white and light blue colors.

The shiny look and illusion of thin fabric is quite appealing. When I think about, it swimsuits in anime are always hotter than bikini’s, maybe since they often look more like shiny latex suits. The pose focuses on Natsumi’s big plump breasts and the the big muscular legs. They are definitely a highlight of this figure when you are into that kind of stuff.

She is leaned backwards sitting there with spread legs on a starting block. The figure is still wearing shoes and a jacket, while the swimsuit is peeled down at shoulders and the boobs are exposed,
the beautiful and ample boobs look soft and are squeezed together what gives them a realistic appearance, the shiny and detailed nipples also look sexy. At the sides of the bikini you can also notice the sideboobs.

They gave the swimsuit a nice, rubber like texture with an illusion of wetness, the skin of her underboobs shines trough the swimsuit which is a nice effect. It’s interesting how lewd the figure looks even though she is still kind of dressed up, Amemiya Natsumi looks overwhelmingly hot and I love that part about her.
In the default display option, Natsumi lifts up the bikini at her private parts with her fingers, that is just enough fanservice for me.

There are alternative body parts, lower body and a hand to exchange, so it is possible to display the figure in a even more lewd manner with exposed vagina in open appearance with the alternative hand you can create the scene of her spreading herself… Sorry I left it in the box since the figure is already very arousing without exchanging parts, I didn’t want to ravish the figure as a result, so please bear with not seeing her vagina in this post.

As beautiful as this figure is, there are certain small imperfections you won’t expect from such a first grade figure,let’s see there is the thing with her hair, it has a handful of brown paint blobs at the front, not a single one can be found on the backside, though. The other thing can be found in the inner side of the left hand, there is some excess material, which is probably very easy to fix.

Overall quality control has been lacking on this figure, which is a shame. Personally I’m not bothered by such little imperfections, especially since this figure as whole is a stunning piece of craftsmanship.

Today, I will present you a newU Preorder post. Uhh, what has the Figure Hobby turned into, it is more expensive than ever before, release dates became unreliable and updated dates are pushed around more regularly than ever.

Although with all those negative aspects one can not complain about the lack of beautiful figures.
This month was full of very nice figure announcements, which actually needs to the next problem…

Which one should I purchase!?

Rikka Takarada – I Believe in Future from GSC

From the SSSS Gridman show that I liked just a little bit, main heroine Rikka appears in an nice pose with parts of the base flying around her. The cute expression aside this figure is a rather ecchi creation, some will like it some won’t.

The figures proportions seems to be more inspired by pixiv artworks than how the girl looked in the anime, but that is fine since I love nicely shaped thighs like that. There aren’t many figures around with such voluminous thighs and I really like the figures expression, so I would be very happy to order the figure here. She is scheduled to be released 2021, that is for sure a long time, but I would not have to worry too much about expenses for 2020.

release date: April 2021 – list price: 19,800 Yen

Chino – Summer Uniform from PLUM

Plum just makes the best figures of young girl characters and this Chino could be easily one of their best.
The sculpt and overall presentation are so enchanting, everything about her is just so sweet and happy.
Her summer uniform accentuates her cuteness once more and everything looks quite lively.
I think from all the figures listed in the post her preorder will be set by me soon.

release date: 03 2020 – list price: 14,850 Yen

Hurdle Girl Illustration from Skytube

An figure adaptation based on a character drawn by Kekemotsu, the color palette is strong, the bold yellow jacket for example is striking. I approve about hurdle running in a black bikini and I also really appreciate that they combined the rather daring outfit with a very sweet facial expression and the golden eyes are beautiful. It seems to be a pretty figure of a nice, sweet girl in a skimpy outfit and a great looking butt.

release date: 08 2020 – list price: 19,580 yen

ARMS NOTE Kouhai-chan of the Swimming Club from AMAKUNI

I would really appreciate it if AMAKUNI would start giving bigger promo pictures to the shops, it’s just so tiny!

Ahem, while I don’t know a lot about ARMS NOTE, this stunning figures positive aura is contagious, really love the golden eyes and the happy fang. The tan suits the figure very well, especially in combination with the blue sports bikini.

release date: 09 2020 – list price: 13,618 Yen

Kantai Collection Suzuya [Xmas]mode from AMAKUNI

I forgot about Kancolle to be honest, still remember the characters that were dear to me, but I only play Azure Lane nowadays. Nevertheless this Suzuya figure is especially pretty in the nicely textured red christmas dress, the exposed shoulders and overknee black santa boots.

release date: 09 2020 – list price: 14,500 Yen

Ore o Suki nano wa Omae dakekayo – Sanshokuin Sumireko from Aniplex, Aquamarine

Her anime is on my “going to watch” list, but I really know nothing about this character. Nevertheless her figure appears to be very nonchalant and attractive, also her pose looks cool. The alternative top looks very interesting together with this school uniform, I really like the long skirt version in blue.

release date: 08 2020 – list price: 13,182 Yen

Teletha Testarossa: Maid version from Phat Company

In 2018, 13 years later FMP received a new season, not as great as I wanted it to be, you can’t just use content from 13 years ago and expect people to be all excited about a so so adaptation that ended with a cliffhanger. I did finish the light novel because of it and at least Tessa got 3 more figures because of it, but I think this one was the nicest.

release date: 08 2020 – list price: 16,280 Yen

Iya na Kao Sarenagara Opantsu Misetemoraitai Hon Chitose Itou STD version from Alphamax

The angry panty flashing girls are surprisingly popular and this character even got the second adaptation. doing something you don’t like, but still doing it nevertheless is a weird fetish. Anyway a scornful maid is somewhat interesting. There are 2 versions available, one with castoff option and one without, in any case you get the 2 faces, one that shows you even more disgust, you swine!

release date: 06 2020 – list price: 19,580 Yen

Asuka Soryu Langley -Gothic Lolita Ver.- :Re from Kotobukiya

This figure is apparently a reissue from a figure first time released in 2004, the new Asuka figure has a nicer anime style face and a few more smaller differences made, I really like the base with the stairs, the gothic lolita dress is nice anyway.

release date: 05 2020 – list price: 12,800 Yen

Sansei Muramasa – Character’s Selection from Rocket Boy

I really like Sansei Muramasa, but this here is the tainted love version apparently, bondage, chain around the neck, it’s all quite kinky. The figure has an alternative face plate and alternative hip part. I’m really not sure about purchasing this figure, it’s a bit too erotic and display in the open might be interesting.

I know the origin of the figure and while most visual novels have sexual scenes, but Soukou Akki Muramasa is very grim and not vanilla. Still seems to be a great looking figure just not really my cup of tea.

release date: 08 2020 – list price: 17,500 Yen

And now I will show you my latest preorders concerning 2020. The ambitious plan is to order only 8 new figures in 2020, delayed figures doesn’t count at this. I admit with those delays together it looks like I lost control ahahaha.

Asuka Langley – RADIO EVA Original Color

A quite nice figure adaptation of Asuka. There are 2 color variations of this Asuka figure, I decided to get the less saturated one.

Lacia – Black Monolith Deployed version

I’m outing myself … as fan of the Beatles anime, a big reason was the charming Lacia voiced by Touyama, Nao. The figure doesn’t show Lacia’s pretty smile but at least she looks like from the anime. I decided against the cheaper version, I rather want the cool one haha.

Takimoto Hifumi – Witch version

Ummm, why did I buy a figure of Hifumi, I think it’s a very cute figure with the breezy witch outfit and the gigantic hat.

Juliana Eberhardt

I became quite a fan of the odd Raita design, while the body proportions look something special, I’m really addicted to great faces Raita creates. Great coincidence that I also love summer and bikinis, Phat Company also announced a figure of the more friendly looking Riela Marcellis. I will definitely order her, too.

Matoi – Nidy-2D version

The nidy version is so adorable I decided to watch a few episodes of the anime Phantasy Star Online 2 – Episode Oracle, before I would order this Matoi, unfortunately also there she is a cute angel, although she didn’t wear this great outfit so far.

I wish everyone a wonderful start into 2020, I look forward to another year of exciting figures in 2020.
