Hi, I recently received the Super Sonico Bondage – Candy Pink version, back in the first half of 2011 I already received the normal Super Soniko Bondage version. I guess my affection and love torwards the Nitro+ mascot Soniko started around the time I wrote her review last year.

Its actually a funny coincidence that this review is the most popular post on my humble blog

Buying a figure twice just because of a different color scheme appeared a bit odd to me in the first place, but I liked the previous black version of this figure to such an extent, that I even ordered the alternative Super Sonico Bondage – candy pink version, which was released around 9 month later on January 17th 2012. She is also sculpted by Tanaka Masanori.
This Soniko is scaled 1/7 and castoffable. Without taking shipping and custom fees into account I paid 6,600 JPY, for the previous one it were 6,630 JPY.

This Sonico comes with a blue colored and textured base with silver font, this time the guitar is pink and looks quite nice like that, the stand of the guitar is painted in a shiny white color.

Another reason for ordering the alternative version of her was, that I had the small hope that Orchid Seed wouldn’t forget to add the blushmarks on her face this time. For me it was the only big letdown of the first Super Sonico Bondage version. In the illustration she was sculpted after, she had clearly visible blushmarks which couldn’t be found on the cheeks of the final figure.

This time Orchid Seed didn’t disappoint and delivered a figure with lovely rosy cheeks, they make the figure a lot more appealing. The look of Soniko being shy and flustered is very well recreated in her face. Another difference to the first figure is the hair which has a lighter pink colortone. The beautiful pink eyes, the headphones and the small opened mouth are the same as before.

Since it’s the same figure with just another color scheme I wanted to do something more different in this shooting. With pole dance getting more popular as a kind of fitness workout and inspired by the great Highschool DxD ending study x study, I decided to go for a strip club like setting. Personally I would never put Sonico into a public strip club, just in my private one ^-^

I wouldn’t like the thought of other people staring with leecherous eyes at my innocent Sonico. To put my idea into reality, I had to obtain 3 wooden sticks, a 25cm wooden disk, mirror tape and some purple effect film that I had already stored at home, the small banknotes are self printed.

In this color version Sonico has a quite different appearance and feel to her. Aside from the bold and quite slutty design of her outfit, the different colored clothes of the Candy Pink version give the figure a more innocent look. The pastel blue jacket is very nice. The pink parts of her outfit like the top and the boots are quite bright and have a metallic shine. The white underwear and real fishnet stockings also seem more fitting for her, it somehow creates a pure and romantic atmosphere, the stockings also seem to make her thighs appear thinner and less short.

As in the previous version the figure has different cast off stages, like on the normal version of the figure the cast-off procedure is well-thought-out. The pants come off with the legs and can be substituted with two additional legs, now you can admire Sonico in her pretty underwear .

Unfortunately on my copy the left extra leg has an ugly seam line around the buttock, both legs were covered with film, but it seems like something happened with the leg in the manufacturing process before. Maybe I will ask Orchid Seed if they could send me a flawless left leg. Don’t get me wrong, the overall quality of the figure is very good aside from that minor issue. The round and soft looking boobs are as lovely as they were on the original figure. Her body is sculpted in a very alluring way, the hips, the waist, the belly and the back, everything looks great and sexy.

 Final Words

Since it is my second review of a Super Sonico Bondage figure and overall just another color version, I tried not to repeat myself about the details about the figure in this review, I could have mainly said the same as about the previous one, so I wrote a bit less text this time.

Im really glad that my hopes for some cute blushmarks came true and that Orchid Seed altered this little detail while keeping the good parts of the previous figure, because of the blush I slightly prefer the alternative color scheme over the black version, nevertheless both are very good and sexy Soniko figures. Hehe now I have the opportunity to exchange the heads of both figures.

The blush is better without a doubt

Unlike the old version, the Super Sonico Bondage – Candy Pink version is still available in shops.

Today I have the Super Soniko Bondage version from Orchid Seed on review, this figure was released on May 15th 2011. She is a 1/7 scaled figure with a height of 160 mm,sculpted by Tanaka Masanori. This figure was popular enough for having all pre-orders sold out before the release, sometimes it’s good to place preorders soon enough ^o^ I preordered her early at AmiAmi and paid around 9790 yen, EMS shipping rate of 3160 yen included, haha a total price crazy as batshit, but I wanted her as soon as possible, so I didn’t give it a second thought.

Super Soniko was created by the Nitroplus Company in 2007, to be the mascot for their yearly Nitro Super Sonico Music Festival held in Japan. Since her creation, she has become quite popular, she gained a lot of popularity over the last few years, I would say the peak of her popularity happened in this year. There were made several figures, mousepads, hug pillow cover, cushion covers, t-shirts, a vmf50 doll and other merchandising products of her.
Also a Game with Sonico is in production, called Communication With Sonico.

I also found a supercute advertisement with Soniko in that outfit, well I don’t understand much but the way she’s acting is really cute and funny, this voice, the body language, just *hnnng*

Her headphones are her personal trademark, the charm points of Soniko are her cute face, the overall cute and natural appearance (not just her big boobs, baka!) and girls who can play the E-guitar are always cool and interesting in my opinion. She has no model sizes and appears slightly chubby, in an attractive way, Soniko has a likeable and nice girl next door look.

As an experienced figurine collector there are still things that are new experiences for me, when looking in my collection there are many figures with small bust sizes and overall they are mainly on the cute or pretty side, so this Soniko was the first figure I own that has quite big boobs and a very sexy aura. Obviously this is a figure for adult and maybe a little bit brave collectors, I guess some of your parents or better said mums (in case you still live at home) would be shocked to see such a hottie, even fully dressed in your room XD my mum just said:

“Oh, she has quite big tits”

yes she said tits XD. On the other hand my male friends like Soniko a lot ^o^

Soniko is a figure which looks more offensive than other sexy figures, even when not casted off. Aside from the cool little jacket her outfit with the tight breast corsage, the opened hotpants and the garterbelt with fishnet stockings can be considered as quite bold. Anyway I would lie when I say that I don’t like it, I think its alluring, otherwise I hadn’t ordered her ;p. I never had such a sexy figure in my collection before, ok my two Endoh Ifrina figures for example are also quite bold and I wasn’t even brave enough to make a review of the Vol.1 A Type Version Ifrina figure, but they are very small and don’t draw the same attention like a well endowed and sexy 1/7 scaled figure like Orchid Seeds Super Soniko Bondage version.

Hair & Face

The hairstyle reminds me of the Tako monster from the Vocaloid Luka, the strands and the light haircolor fit very well to her face. A little part that bothers me are the headphones, the modeling of them is quite good, but they are left as just a grey piece of plastic, it would look a lot better with silver color on it. The face is sculpted in a soft way. Her beautiful and detailed pink eyes are big and are pointing to the left. The head of Soniko is slightly tilted to the right which fits very well to her shy and uneasy face expression, its like she would ask “should I also take that thing off?” I would answer “you don’t have to force yourself I also like you when you are dressed.” *cough* Ok, back to topic *cough* What I somehow miss are the blush marks on her cheeks, like they were shown on the illustration. They would add more cuteness to her face.

Body & Outfit

As said before Soniko’s proportions are more on the chubby side, well she isn’t fat at all, its just that her curves are well rounded and have a soft appearance, especially her belly looks very soft and pretty. The Boobs of this figure are quie huge, but not in an ridiculously unrealistic way and don’t completely defy gravity. Her boobs are sculpted nicely, they are so nice and round and have slightly pointy nipples ^^ Her legs appear a bit short in her pose, but to me it looks still realistic, to give you a better imagination of her proportions, I’ve measured the body and her body measures around 80 mm without head and her legs measure around 130 mm in total.

I think I should also mention her cute and nicely sculpted fingers, you can place the strings of her corsage between them, without the corsage some people said it looks like she wants to pinch her nipples, but you could also say that she just points at her boobs.

The outfit is influenced by rock star, strip club and biker chick fashion elements, you are able to combine the pieces of her outfit in different ways, jacket with chest corsage, without corsage, bare boobed and with hotpants or without hotpants and so on. The two colored jacket with the Soniko Icon is very cool and detailed I also like the hotpants with the “flying” white belt, under the hotpants she wears a black g-string with a cute pink ribbon at the front. The fishnet stockings aren’t painted on her legs, they are wrapped around them, at the backside they are connected with a rather thick seamline, well at least they aren’t very noticeable because of their location.
All the small silver colored eyelets and buckles not to forget the nice wrinkles at her clothes,
which are very pretty details of this interesting and sexy outfit of Soniko.

Soniko’s skincolor is pale and has a tad pinky colortone. The paintjob isn’t 100% clean, for example the paintjob on her garterbelt and the panty lines could a little bit better, therefore the shading effects on her skin look quite nice and accentuate her curves.

Castoff & Accessoires

Soniko is castoffable and the sculptor put a lot of effort to make it as easy and clean as possible. The parts do fit together very well without being loose and can be seperated with just a little amount of force. The gaps which are necessary for the castoff option are very well hidden, you can take off her head, her arms, her jacket, her bust corset and the black hotpants leg pair. To display her without the hotpants, a second pair of legs is hidden inside the very nice looking box.

As accessoires Orchid Seed included a transparent round disk with a frosted texture and a very, very detailed guitar, it’s so cool that at the pins of the guitar are at different positions, the guitar also comes with a own base, you could also place it between Soniko’s arms if you want to.

Final Words

In short this figure is AWESOME I never thought that you could put that much sex appeal into a piece of plastic before seeing it with my own eyes, Orchid Seeds Soniko is a high quality figure and was totally worth the money. The sculpting is very well done, I saw no ugly seamlines on her or rough areas, her body looks just too good and is great eyecandy, also the castoff option is integrated very well, in the figure “thumbs up”.  Soniko was my second figure from Orchid Seed and like Dwarf she also became an all time favorite figure for me, congrats to the people who also ordered this Soniko bondage version, I hope you are or will be as happy with her as me.

The 5 things I like the most about Soniko:
Her scale of 1/7 fits her very perfectly
Her beautiful body proportions
She’s sexy as hell without looking cheap.
The different dress up options for her outfit.
Soniko’s very well executed castoff option.

Im curious how Yamato’s Soniko figure which has a bit different aura, will turn out and If she can make the overall positive impression, that I’ve already received with the Soniko from Orchid Seed.

Side Notes

For the first time I used a led bulb (300 lumen 6000 Kelvin)as second lightsource next to my softbox I was very impressed by the light output of it. The usage of the red and white strings attached to the fan was a lot oft fun with the longer exposure time (1/25,1/30) unfortunately the small fan was a bit weak for the weight of the strings, they couldn’t lift up completely I will try this fan/string combination again with lighter strings. No figures where harmed or molested during the shooting or afterwards. In case you haven’t noticed it I this Sonico figure a lot.
