I apologize for the lack of posts recently, Im not dead, but gaming got the best of me, FFXIV just offers too much enjoyable escapism and I also want to finish the Little Busters VN soon.

Anyway reviewing figures like this particular one is also fun for me. I don’t know which kind of demon posessed me when I ordered this curvy darling some time ago, but I like her, actually.

Sayaka Yumi was manufactured by AmiAmi Zero, they are quite popular for very appealing bodysculpting. She was sculpted by Melting Neuron and released by the end of June this year. Her scale is 1/7 (28 cm in length), and comes with a  base and an alternate face expression.

The figures origin is the Shin Mazinger Zero Manga, it tells the Mazinger story in an alternative timeline,  it’s no pervy comic. Im the self declared “worst manga reader” I start  some, but never keep following them regularly. But I actually had a lot of fun with the eight chapters of Mazinger Zero, too bad it isn’t translated further. Sayaka Yumi is still Kouji Kabuto’s

girlfriend, but aside from that it’s a quite different story. I barely know what Sayaka Yumi is doing in her crazy plugsuit, but from my understanding this mechanical chair is something like a control panel for her personal mech called Artemis A. Yumi is actually not my favorite character, I got more attached to the adorable Cyborg Minerva  (o⌒．⌒o) please make a figure of her as well.

Back then, as I watched the first episode of Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-Hen I thought get lost with this weird crap, but as I’ve given it another try, it turned out rather rewarding, it was an awesome action anime with a nice nostalgic touch and something I would call epic.

This figures unusual and funky appearance  convinced me enough to place my order, even though it is quite naughty. I kind of assumed it, but as I learned that these tentacles really plug in, in the manga I felt a little bit bad for my purchase of Sayaka Yumi. This isn’t a way to display her, all that is left is the crude context. All of you know that I like all (actually not all) the ecchi figures but when they are borderline hentai, for example I could never buy a figure in an alluring pose and a bare vagina, like this pretty figure, I can’t buy them, even if apart of me would like to.

Hair & Face

Sayaka Yumi has straight brown hair with an hime cut haistyle at her bangs, the lumps of strands are wildly flowing around. The yellow cute hairband has a breeze of  the 70’s. As extra the figure has exchangeable faces, one neutral comfortable expression and a surprised kyahh face. Both have nicely sparkly eyes, but the neutral face doesn’t convince from every angle I have to say, the big mouth lacks some detail. The “kyahh” face is my favorite, the finer details on this expression look better and overall it’s more fitting considering the appearance of the figure.

As little accessoire the figure comes with a headgear that can be placed in one of her hands.

Outfit & Body

Now this is a plugsuit, don’t be fooled by other wannabe pilot suits, thats the real deal. Well, thats quite the outfit this figure has, Mazinger Zero is violent and isn’t shy of showing nudity.

The plugsuit is made of black strings that create the look of latex, they are all around her body and kept in place by brazen colored rivets. The string slightly dig in her flesh, underboob, sideboob isn’t the question anymore, her boobs are simply entangled by a single thin string, just her areolas are fully covered. The rest of her skimpy outfit consists of pretty black boots and heavy gloves. It’s actually a very good and clean paintjob on the figure, the contrast between matte and glossy texture is nice and there is no overpainting to be found.

Mazinger is rather old with a characterdesign that reminds one of manga from some decades ago, even the “new” Shin Mazinger Zero manga kept the visual style of creator Nagai, Go but with largely improved characterdesigns. Yumi is a lovely buxom heroine, she has not the proportions of your average japanese high school girl, but definetely very attractive.

The sculptor paid good attention to all of her voluptuous curves, it’s nice that AmiAmi zero pays attention to detailed bodysculpting on most of their figures, even with changing sculptors in charge it became one of their trademarks. She’s really an attractive one with her light level of chubbyness, meaty thighs, the nicely shaped boobs and the alluring pelvis these are the things that meets the eye. When flipped around you can not only her see bubble butt, but also the plugging connector of her private parts, not really necessary but it’s attention to detail.

Pose & Base

Sayaka Yumi’s pose is very much sexualized, sprawling around in skimpy clothes while lying halfway on her back doesn’t evoke many other ideas than that. It might appear as if she is abused in a non amicably way like in a generic hentai, but in context with the story it turns out a little different, as necessary in order to gaining more power when controlling Artemis A.

The perv factor aside, this is a really elaborate base, it has a futuristic design with a nice foot, detailed tubes and connectors. It looks cool how the tubes hold her in the air, the distance between figure and base creates an interesting illusion of a floating figure. The two frontal tubes with the ecchi tips can be either turned or taken off the sockets, not inserted.

Final Words

Yumi is a figure that I like a lot, she’s buxom, sexy and has an interesting base. I admit that she’s among my most daring figures, not in terms of nudity, but in terms of presentation she is.
Well, I even buy figures of cat eared maids that are licking milk from the floor with bare boobs, but for some reason AmiAmi Zero’s Yumi and her tentacle cockpit appear a little more lewd.

This figure is of course not everybody’s cup of tea, even though she appeared rather popular, since she was sold out before release and as far as I know Yumi didn’t hit the bargin bin.

Nevertheless from a neutral point of view the figure of Sayaka Yumi has a great quality, the sculpting and painting is especially well done. My only complain is, that one of the faces doesn’t look that nice, maybe they should have exchanged the neutral one with a serious expression. Fortunately two expressions are included and I can use the one I prefer.

I couldn’t find any review of her until now, at least I could give my opinion about her.

Ey, ey oh! whats up people

Here we have a new Preorder Post with a few new purchases and many other alluring figures where a decision hasn’t been made so far.

There also was a delay for the Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA – Prisma Illya figure from Phat Company, that should actually be released in this month, unfortunately she was pushed back to April, which already is a quite busy month. I will also receive the Azusa doll in April, I’m still searching for a fancy outfit for her, even though the stuff she comes with is already pretty nice.

 New Preorders

I restricted myself a little bit, at least for once and also tried to prevent myself from loading too many figure preorders in the first half of the year, since I know what great things can be expected to be released in this year. Hmm yes these three are mainly sexy choices.

Katsuragi – Senran Kagura – Phat Company

After all the good impressions of Phat Company’s Hibari, this was a nearly no brainer for me. Even though the still running anime didn’t met my expectations, I still think that the girls are cute and have an appealing characterdesign. Katsuragi is quite creepy as a person you wouldn’t see that from her look, but anyway as energetic blonde with a bright smile and big boobs I want her in my collection. Next to Hibari’s design I like Katsuragi the most with her blue skirt and the  killer boots. As well as Hibari, Katsuragi is also scaled 1/8 the release is sheduled for August 2013

Sayaka Yumi – Shin Mazinger Zero – Ami Ami Zero

This figure has been a bit longer on my radar, I was captivated by the design and the lovely curves of Yumi. Her suit and the base have a sci fi fetish look, the base looks like a sex toy, but from what I know about Mazinger Zero it is none, it’ more something like a command center.

I was a big fan of Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-Hen which aired a few years ago. This figure of Yumi isn’t based on it, at least not in that outfit. I like the skin revealing outfit and her face, Yumi’s looks so damn great, well I also like that she features the style of old school manga very well. The figure is scaled 1/7 and has a length of 260 mm, in the final product, she will have alternative face parts. The figure is very detailed and for some reason her discounted price is relatively high with 9500 Yen, oh well I had ordered her for a higher price, thanks exchange rate.

Ami Ami Zero is popular for delaying their products, hopefully this figure will be more or less on time, she is sheduled for June 2013 *fingers crossed* kyahh I’m really excited about her.

Irma – Queen’s Blade – MegaHouse

 Hmm why the heck, have I ordered Irma actually!? You can only guess why Megahouse made a figure from the original Queen’s Blade at this this time, it seems that Tier from Tentacle Armada wasn’t the only one who wished for a figure of Irma, since the feedback was quite positive.

Wll, there are certain things that make this figure that appealing, Irma has an attractive petite bodyframe, still in a trained way, but she’s more slender than most Queen’s Blade characters. She also has this super dynamic pose and also a lot of details are on her body and outfit.

I really like her look, the body with the perky breasts, a nice back and a bubble butt compared to her body. Her dark skincolor makes a great contrast to her hair, actually. I would have sightly preferred a different face expression, but oh well the overall appearance is very good.

Irma is scaled 1/8, castoffable and her release date is sheduled for July 2013.

Maybe Baby List

Touko Aozaki – Mahoutsukai no Yoru – ALTER

release – July

Sometimes you will get overly excited about a certain figure that you’ve seen in an early production status, only to feel dissapointed when it can finally be preorderd. I think her dress turned out beautiful, the green is gorgeous, but whats with the face, it looks so plain, pale and undetailed, at least in these first promotion shots. I don’t feel like throwing my money torwards her in advance anymore. Maybe I will be convinced another time,but not for once.

Yuki – Maid Yome – Orchid Seed

release – September

This ero figure is very popular at the moment and Im starting to fear that she will be sold out before release, which happens not that often with figures from Orchid Seed. Yuki is a bold figue without pantsu and have you noticed where her fingers are? actually I didn’t pay attention to it at first. Hehe, it should be fine when displayed normally. The figure looks very pretty, I like the flushred cheeks and her cute moaning mouth. You can display her with the “wet t-shirt” look with her boobs exposed or just admire her plump butt. So far I could resist preordering her, since I’ve planned to get her at a later date, but Im not sure how long this composure will last.

Nymph – Sora no Otoshimono forte – PLUM

release – April

Nymph seems to be the most popular Sora no Otoshimono character at least on the manufacurers side, Kotobukiya already made a second one as well as PLUM, which can be seen here. They’ve put her into a innocent white school swimsuit, that compliments her butt nicely. The 1/6 scaled figure of Nymph has a cute energetic pose, her face doesn’t look like exactly like in the illustration she is based on, beside that it appears like an adorable figure. In worst case just display her from the enchanting backside ;p As I was checking on her at Ami Ami, the site said it’s sold out. I’ve waited too long! but maybe I’m able to get her on or after the release date.

Hibiki Ganaha – THE IDOLM@STER – Kotobukiya

release – April

Kotobukiya is pretty serious in adapting the Idolm@ster characters in the Angelic Island versions, where they put the girls in beach fashion. I already found the majority of them pretty adorable like Haruka, Makoto and Yayoi even though I haven’t bouth them in the end. Hibiki is no exception in terms of cute bishoujo appeal, her face is very pretty and her fang adds a little more playfulness. I’m also a fan of dark hair and the kind of earings, Hibiki is using, lovely ^^.

Rumi Sumida – Gutto-kuru Figure Collection Sweet 02 – CM’s Corporation

release – May

That face expression is priceless and let’s this figure appear super adorable, I really like the lovely expression and interesting pose of this figure. Also her school uniform is appealing, I like the colors, the stockings and her sneakers. The only problem is that I have no experience and no trust in CM. I have serious doubts, that they will deliver a quality that satisfies me and with that in mind she is a few thousand Yen too expensive, still I would like to have her in my collection, since she looks so appealing in these promotional pictures. On second look her butt could be a bit bigger, but that is my least important concern and something I could live with.

Preorder Roadmap (updated)

As announced in the previous Wonfes 2013 winter post, here is part 2 with a few leftover figures from other manufacturers like; AmiAmizero, Arcadia, CM’s Corporation, Gift, MegaHouse, PLUM and Ques q that also caught my interest with a few figures. Afterwards I’ll take a short look at the prettiest Garage Kit figures of this Event. In the last block I will take a look at some illustrations from Native, Orchid Seed and others, that might be turned into figures soon.
