Erika is one of illustrators Raita iconic Zettai Junpaku ♡ Mahou Shoujo characters, the H manga is not so interesting in my opinion, but the girls without exception are beautiful and attractive and a popular source for a relatively large number of pretty figures.

This figure is part of the Character’s Selection lineup from Native / Rocket Boy. She was released in early September 2023. The Kuramoto Erika – Beach Volleyball version was sculpted by Hocke. The figure is really big, officially it’s 1/6 scale, but she could easily pass as a 1/5 scale figure from the base to her hips she is nearly around 25 cm.

Erika playing beach volleyball is a nice idea, it’s a nice change from the usual bikini outfits, although I like bikini figures a lot as well. The outfit is both sporty and skimpy. The volleyball pose is nicely recreated, where Erika takes a short break during a match. In the bendover position the hands touch the inside of her thighs.

Kuramoto Erika – Beach Volleyball version came with many parts, there is an alternative hips part, 3! alternative torsos, a second face, a volleyball, a blue necklace and detachable sunglasses. After you separated the arms, legs and the head, you can combine the alternative parts as you desire. Fully naked, half naked with bare boobs, half naked with bare ass or Erika being molested by floating hands. The alternative face also gives the figure a number of different display options.

One of the torsos is kind of hilarious or tasteless, where the hands violently the figures boobs. It depends on the viewpoint if you like this kind of stuff, I don’t l like the idea of floating hands attacking the characters boobs, since it looks ridiculously violent and painful I didn’t bother to use it.

The figure has a great body, there are the extreme Raita proportions like we love them, A narrow waist and wide hips and as one of Erika’s trademarks the really big butt, it’s a great sculpt with a bold bodyline. The boobs of the figure are huge and beautiful, I like the shape and the pink nipples.

The outfit has a great bold pink color, the top loosely holds onto Erika’s upper body, it’s nice how one strap is sliding down her shoulder. The thong sits tightly and squeezes her butt quite a bit.

One certain detail caused a bit of disapproval from the fanbase or a better said nagging hobby peoples. I will say so much as that in a bendover pose the nipples should probably not point upwards like they do, but it’s not bothering me and I already got used to it. Surely they should point downwards in that pose.

The overall body tan is delicious and attractive on the figure, her pale big ass is great and erotic. The pale boobs skin appears to be sensitive and precious, my imagination is running wild here. The exposed buttocks are super nice and the shape of them is nicely done, vagina and butthole are present and look like they should, obviously these aren’t tanned. The purple separation lines at the arms make sense since sweat stoppers are used in beach volleyball, the separation lines at the thighs though, appear like an foreign object. I actually would prefer the bare thighs.

Next to the attractive and scandalous body, Erika is wearing such a sweet expression on her face. It’s quite enchanting with the amount of blush and the cute open mouth with the inset tongue, overall it’s a wonderful level of detail . Even fully naked Erika looks like having fun. The haircolor is a mix of brown and purple, the wildly flowing ponytail looks nice.

The alternative face shows Erika in a surprised fashion the mouth is wide open and the eyes appear slightly more opened. It’s probably making more sense when used in combination with the groping hands torso. Personally, I don’t really need it since it wasn’t the reason why I have bought this figure.

It is my second Kuramoto Erika figure, I also have the Native figure from 2018.

The Kuramoto Erika – Beach Volleyball version creates a summerly atmosphere, I love the heavy tan on her, the sporty outfit is a nice change of pace and the body is extremely sexy.

This Beach Volleyball version is a really nice figure, the happy expression and beautiful face are a great combination, maybe nearly too cute for an H figure. The dressed display option is already quite nice, but the figure can be displayed completely naked, albeit the fully naked appearance it’s not an especially lewd figure. The Raita proportions look fantastic on Erika, especially with the focus on the big butt of hers.

Her character is based on an hentai doujin manga named “Zettai Junpaku Mahou Shoujo” illustrated and written by the well known illustrator Raita Honjou. The doujin manga even was turned into a 6 minutes long teaser OVA.

The story with the pretty angels enjoys a great popularity with Suzuhara Misae as fan and manufacturers favorite.

Native started making figures of Zettai Junpaku Mahou Shoujo in December 2012 starting with Suzuhara Misae. Unfortunately, in 2012 I still thought that she was a figure too scandalous for me to have, how times can change. After Misae followed Sasaki Kotone in 2013, Nitta Yui in 2016 and the last one is Kuramoto Erika you’ll see today.

Erika is a figure from the Creator’s Collection of Native, the figure is scaled 1/6 and proudly measures 24 cm. She was sculpted by Kawagoe Hiromitsu, check out his figures, he started sculpting in 2006. It was a good decision to hire a sculptor with a lot of experience since the illustration this figure is based on was probably not easy to adapt into 3D. This Kuramoto Erika figure surpasses her illustrations appeal, the boobs are smaller and her face has more depth.

This figure obviously features the famous Raita proportions for curvy girls (two of the angels are less curvy). The characters have a long upper body, huge boobs a super narrow waist and extra wide hips. I’m more used to figures with less stylish body sculpting, personally I would have made the torso 1/4 shorter, but Erika is still looking great.

What I like more about this figure than her “out of this world” proportions is her lovely and expressive face. Erika is presented as cheerful girl, with a friendly open mouth smile and beautiful brown eyes. The very detailed eyes are directed to the left, which adds a flirty look to her. The surprisingly detailed ears are decorated with fancy earrings.

Hahaha you also get a different faceplate that shows Erika with an emotion of both shock and embarrassment, it’s ought to be used in combination with her bursting bikini top part. It’s actually looks more hilarious than erotic.

Erika has super pretty hair painted in dark brown with a tint of red. Erika has a twintails hairstyle, each side splits up into a number of wildly flowing strands of hair. There is a high level of detail, on close view you will notice all these tiny lines on her hair, it’s really super detailed.The twintails are decorated with fancy clasps, they consist of half circles painted in metallic gold and pointy triangles painted in light grey.

Erika’s outfit exposes the most amount of skin from all of Native’s Zettai Junpaku Mahou Shoujo girls, she mainly wears a skimpy white bikini. Around her neck is a nicely sculpted collar with a pretty pattern and a purple crystal in the middle I also like her short sleeves with the cute ruffles at the wrists. The hip armor has a pretty design, the metallic colors look great in combination with the silky textured clothes. The fancy thigh high boots are very pretty as well.
The figures clothes aren’t just white they show complex variations of dark shading to match the style of Raita’s work.

Erika has a fantastic looking body and a fantastic looking butt, nice, very round and juicy with her bikini bottom pulled down, her buttocks are highlighted perfectly. From below you can admire her nicely sculpted private parts if desired.
I’m not really interested in having these details, but I don’t mind either when it’s not done in a too bold way.

The wings are quite impressive, the figure is equipped with 2 pairs of them, the smaller ones are coming out of her neck and the big ones from her lower back. These wings are sculpted in an organic way, the thin parts might look a bit scary, but the tips are really beautiful, also their nice shades of purple, pink and turquoise create an appealing view.

The figure has a pretty black base, the top is transparent and reflective with magic circles printed on it.
What is interesting in this regard, is that the “pillars” of cloth that are going downwards from the hip armor make it possible for Erika to stand without base. The risk of the figure toppling over is not present and you don’t have to worry about broken pegs, like it’s the case with so many other figures from time to time.

Her weapon is a nicely designed, long spear, which she is holding behind her back. Erika has an interesting pose that shows complex articulation, I really like the lively and cheerful appearance of her. It seems to be a kind of victory pose and she makes a devils sign with her fingers, it’s very funny that an angel shows the devils sign, but an angel also should not wear such an outfit. I think the position of her legs is a bit awkward although it just follows the illustration.

Final Words

Well, yes the Kuramoto Erika figure from Native turned out amazingly nice, her whole appearance even though her being half naked is simply beautiful. My favorite is Erika’s pretty head with her enchantingly cheerful smile and also the elaborately styled hair. I feel a bit of regret about not getting the first figure of Mahou Shoujo from Native in the past, I don’t care about the skinny angels but Misae is so pretty. Anyway, I’m glad that I at least ordered the second prettiest character, Kuramoto Erika. Raita designs are quite polarizing and I don’t really like the extremely stylish proportions of Mahou Shoujo, the Valkyria Chronicles character designs while also being drawn by Raita, are more pleasing to the eye. Of course I like Erika a lot and she has been referred to as beautiful by my friends and family.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a “New Figure Preorders” post, around 12 months ago I published part #36, *OMFG* Don’t worry though, I did not lose interest in the figure hobby at all. I currently have 9 lovely figures on order.

Ordered figures

Katsuragi Misato

Hooray, a new figure of Misato is a great thing, Rei or Asuka never where my favorites in Neon Genesis Evangelion, they were interesting but really weird. I always was drawn to Misato. This figure of her is dressed in a bikini, but nevertheless she still partially wears her usual uniform. In this attire It might not show the Misato figure of my dreams, but she looks great.

release date – November – 2018

Kuramoto Erika – Mahou Shoujo

I had to get this beautiful Erika figure from Native. What is more important for me than the dynamite body is her pretty face with the enchanting smile. Compared to her official illustration this figure is based on, there are small, but great improvements, the face is so much better and the boobs are less big. Hopefully there won’t be another delay.

release date – October – 2018

Asuna – Undine version

Ah, this blue haired and pointy eared Asuna looks so cool. I like the serious expression and her stunning uniform with the nice colors, it will be my first experience with Emontoys, I have good expectations.

release date – October – 2018

Ashikaga Chachamaru

When ALTER announced their Chachamaru I was so happy and excited, the figure looks great with the expressive golden eyes, furthermore she’s half nude and seductive. It’s not their first fanservice figure, but it is still surprising to see such figures from ALTER.

release date – December – 2018

Nishikino Maki x Yazawa Nico – Valentine Hen version

This is a great two figure set, one I really like. The outfits are pretty and it’s sweet how the figures are connected.
I admit that I’m not the biggest Maki fan, but together with Nico it is a very nice combination.

release date – December – 2018

Takagi-san

I feel quite excited about this one. I developed quite a crush on Takagi-san when Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san was airing, her anime was just wonderful. Phat Company makes this great looking figure of her sitting on a detailed school desk. I just love her sweet, confident and flirty expression.

release date – January – 2019

Sakuya – Onna Kyoushi version

A figure of a sexy teacher? … here is my money. No, seriously this a nice looking figure, she has a beautiful youthful face and is quite attractive in the business dress. Together with the glasses and playful pose the figure should turn out really nice.

release date – April – 2019

Asuna – Swimsuit version

Yes, I ordered another Asuna, I never knew I was a fan of her XD Of course Asuna always has been a pretty character, but really earned my sympathy by the end of Sword Art Online II. I’ve always been a fan of swimsuit figures and this one looks especially nice and detailed, I didn’t mind the exclusive price tag.

release date – March – 2019

Sakurauchi Riko

The Love Live Sunshine figures from With Fans! so far looked quite stunning, Riko is especially nice in my opinion, a pretty girl in school uniform. Her face and expression are so sweet, her hair with the flowing strands is also nice looking.

release date – March – 2019

Interesting figures

Recently I find it quite challenging to place more preorders for 2019, one reason is that I can’t decide between all those beautiful figures, another reason are the terrifying prices of figures, I would like to prevent getting more than 2 figures in the same month. Here I’ve listed figures for 2019 (2018) that I like and like a bit more. Lol deciding is difficult.
 

C.C – Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

Seems like Union Creative makes many popular characters from popular animes of the past, I always wanted a figure of C.C. in her attractive straitjacket.

release date – October – 2018

Tomoe – Queen’s Blade

This a quite interesting figure in my eyes, she has a photogenic pose and without a doubt she also has a very nice body. Orchid Seed implemented a variety of different display options and the nice figure measures 29,5 cm.

release date – December – 2018

Narberal Gamma – so bin version

The concept of this figure is really awesome, when I saw that price of her, second thoughts were instantly kicking in, I’m no fan of the character nor do I like the bunny ears that much. Of course it’s still an impressive figure on it’s own.

release date – December – 2018

Kohinata Hikari

I’m a really big fan of Amanchu, it’s a really sweet show about the friendship between Hikari and Teko and character development. Before I would order Hikari though, I would like to know if also a figure of Teko is planned. Beach outfits are great and all, but the Amanchu school uniforms are wonderful, too can’t I have figures with those.

release date – January – 2019

Ade-sugata II

Ahem, normally I’m not interested in bondage girls with sex toys, here things are a little different, since this character is beautiful, perfect brown skin an adorable turtle face and she looks just gorgeous. I would really like to order her but I don’t like these ropes for me it is truly a shame to see such a beautiful figure tied up and what not.

release date – January – 2019

Mimori Hinagiku

I like the cute Miko, that act’s a bit naughty, castoff she is less interesting in my opinion, but the general is very nice.

release date – April – 2019

Kaname Madoka – Magia Record Mahou Shoujo Madoka ☆ Magica Gaiden

I just had to wait several years, to see the cutest standing Kaname Madoka figure to date. She is so enchanting in this adaption, I need her, even though she is sold as limited exclusive.

release date – Summer – 2019

Louise Françoise Le Blanc de la Vallière – Finale Wedding version

Man, a pretty bride figure of my first anime waifu ever and I still hesitate to place my order

release date – March – 2019

Sawara Ayaka

The stunner from the previous Wonfes some months ago, BINDing’s Sawara Ayaka. It was love on first sight, then it turned that she will be scaled 1/4 and cost around 28000 Yen. I’d really had preferred a 1/6 scale, on the positive side she is probably the best detailed 1/4 scaled bunny girl figures ever, I mean she looks totally great, I might order her.

release date – May – 2019

Ochi Ripca

I don’t know about the manufacturer FOTS, but I like the concept of this figure. This prototype looks more like a 3D model, but in the end it should be a figure. She’s been planned to be a big 1/5th scale figure that measures 17 cm.

release date – September – 2018

Vampire – Azur Lane

It has been a while since i’ve seen a figure of a flirty vampire loli, I like it. This cutie is based on the game Azur Lane.

release date – July – 2019
