Hi, I’m back with a new figure review, after quite some time it’s my beloved Sonico again.

It’s about the Super Sonico – Paisura Bikini version from Kaitendoh

This review has pictures that are NSFW, except your boss also likes nude, shapely figures.

This figure was made by Kaitendoh, the first time that I review a figure of them. I have not heard or seen that much of this company before, so my expectations weren’t very big, although all previous press pictures showed her to be pretty. With Yokota Ken Kaitendoh hired a skilled sculptor to make this figure. The figures scale is 1/6 and measures 28 cm.

Sonico – Paisura version comes with an optional necklace and additional arm rings you can use when Sonico doesn’t wear her bikini. A nice surprise was the mirror base of the figure, probably appropriate with such an revealing figure. Instructions for the castoff process aren’t included, new figure collectors might be feel a little overstrained by the slightly complex task.

This Sonico – Paisure bikini version is also based on an illustration by Tsuji Santa

Her right arm is raised in a protecive manner, don’t ask me why she puts her arm under the bikini, it obviously making everything even more embarassing for her

Yes, the headphones are a essential part of Sonico, the ones from Kaitendoh are detailed and delicate. Sonico also has nice clean hair, even the finer strands are elaborately crafted.

Sonico is portrayed in a ashamed and nervous state, still trying her best at the shooting to look into the camera. The face of this figure looks good and cute, she has the Tsuji Santa styled trademark eyes of Sonico, thick eyebrows and prominent blushmarks. Her mouth could be a little better, but from most angles the face looks really nice overall.

Sonico is a ridiculously shy and easily flustered Gravure Idol, in this situation Sonico does try to strike a sexy pose, but is actually defeated by her shame when she has been put in a skimpy bikini that is groaning by being stretched over the buxom girls body.

The bikini follows her voluptuos bodylines, with it’s interesting sugarcane and polka dot pattern, the blue part has an color gradient applied to it, which creates the illusion of stretched bikini fabric. The design looks rather fragile, but is bendable to a certain degree.

Compared to the body, Sonico’s feet are quite petite, the plateau shoes are sexy.

I was mesmerizied by the curvy body of this Sonico, she looks just beautiful. The sculpor put some love on this project and captured the attractive plump body of this girl with attention to detail, I think her cute belly, the broad hips and the meaty butt with thighs are amazing.

The boobs of this Sonico figure are really big, only rivaled by FREEing’s bunny version, which I haven’t bought, actually because of this reason. Anyway I like the big boobs of this Sonico, there is no doubt about that. They are nicely shaped and when you look veeeeery close her areola has some bumps and the nipples are also quite detailed.

I didn’t take long until I make use of the castoff option, it’s just too good. The top comes off in a rather artistic way, but it works good. Now her precious boobs are free ;D

I like amount of body fat this Sonico has, the little chubbines gives her a cuddly and very attractive look. I don’t know how you think about it, Pochaco with her proud big belly, who is quite popular these days. For my taste it’s a bit too much weight even though her cute smile is as bright as the sun.

Skin texture became an issue for me and in the end I doubt promotional pictures of certain figure manufacturers. I actually anticipated that the figure of todays review would greet me with the sad, cheap PVC skintexture, to my surprise Sonico had a smooth finish and nice skin.

Don’t mind the small gap between arm and right breast. I could have pushed the arm 2 mm higher, but missed it.

I never tried this before, but I thought that her curves would look great with some oil on her, I have used healthy safflower oil, I didn’t expect this amplification of sex appeal actually, damn!

[for the nervous people: The oil doesn’t damage the figures surface or paint]

Final Words

With so many Super Sonico figures on the market it’s getting more difficult for new figures to leave a lasting impression as the first few figures did, but let me tell you this Kaitendoh did an unexpected great job with this figure. The Super Sonico – Paisura Bikini version is a high quality figure of the character Sonico. A cute face, excellent body sculpting, beautiful skin texture and a convincing “too” tight bikini outfit are the major parts that are praiseworthy.

For me bikini related figures are often a worthy purchase, when they are nicely done like this Sonico, I like the kind of bikini figures that have something to show, detailed body sculpting is essential in order to be appealing for the buyer, when no fancy outfit is present.

It’s probably hard to believe, but this actually is my last Super Sonico figure review for the time being, I have no more figures of her on Preorder. The only one I might consider to get in the future, at the moment is the attractive prototype from Kaitendoh.  What would be a better way to conclude this than with a big and cute figure of the now so popular anime culture Idol.

Orchid Seed did a great job with all their adaptions of the Sonico character, Wing, ALTER and Native put up a good competition in the past and recently, but I like their figures the most.

Orchid Seed also made this Super Sonico Cheer ★ Girl version, also known as Cheerleader version, it was released in early October 2014. The figure is scaled 1/6 with an overall height of 30 cm (with pompoms included) with her big head and buxom body, she looks quite big.

The figure was made by Tanaka Masanori  a rather active sculptor of Orchid Seed figures.
The Cheer ★ Girl is based on an illustration from Tsuji Santa, actually one of my favorite Super Sonico illustrations when it comes to amount of details and a cute facial expression.

There are several parts included, optional hands and soft loose socks parts and also a cast off option, so you have different ways to display her. The top opens at the backside, the skirt opens at the side.You can take off the head, but the figure doesn’t separate at the waist.

Sonico always has the same headphones, but Orchid Seed did a good job in letting it look detailed and convincing, she also has her usual shoulder long hairstyle. On this figure though, there are few changes, small strands flowing around her main hair part like tentacles, the different sizes and movements make her hair really interesting, the fringe is hanging deeply over eyes that gives Sonico a rather wild touch.

This Sonico figure has a cute face with really big, lively eyes, her eyes actually aren’t pink, they remind me more of a thin layer balsamic vinegar. At such a size it is to be expected that the facial details get more attention, nevertheless the details like eyelashes look great on her. Sonico has little pointy nose and a deeply engraved mouth with upper front teeth line.

The happy expressions gives her a youthful and cheerful appeal, I really love how she looks.

Her outfit is the classic cheerleader costume known through American sports. Her outfit is a skimpy type of shirt which consist of blue and white colors, her collar has a nice, thin red stripe. The shirt is closed with a big knot, it keeps Sonico’s treasures in place, when she jumps around like that. Her navy blue and white skirt has a very pretty design and good details.

For another sporty option, you can choose to display Sonico with hands or with pompoms. The yellow things look good and give the figure a color boost. The hands have  detailed fingers with painted nails, the detaching points are hidden by the wrist decorations of each hand.

With Sonico making a jump into midair the figure is a really dynamic one, flowing strands, flowing pompoms and bouncing boobs, make her look very energetic and cheerful.

Sonico is a beautiful cheerleader girl, her nice long legs have muscular thighs and also her stomach looks very well trained. She’s not as chubby as recent figures of her. It makes sense, since you can’t be a Cheerleader without physical fitness and stamina, during her workout  Sonico lost a few of her cute pounds. Still Sonico shows an overall excellent sculpted body.

The girl is wearing fancy pantsu with several lines of detailed frills and lovely laces at the outside, it a really cute design. She also has nice looking white sport shoes, you can either display her with her socks or use the soft loose socks, which are simple to de- and attach.

The pose portrays the figure during the ending phase of a little jump, her skirt and the pompoms are lifted up and face upwards. It is really sweet and funny how Sonico’s boobs are bouncing around in midair. Even without her top they still look convincing in shape and size.

The figure has a nice pair of breasts with slightly elevated rosebuds, which are painted slightly darker, I really like the color that has been used. While a few figures of her show her with larger breast, this Cheer Girl version is true to her size as she was introduced as character.

Final Words

Orchid Seed managed to create another high quality big scale figure of the Super Sonico character. there were already a number of great Sonico figures made by them. There was Super Sonico as flustered Rockstar, dilligent nurse and contemplative bikini model.

In this adaption Sonico was portrayed as sporty, buxom cheerleader with a dynamic pose and a super happy smile. It is a really cute figure with a lively atmosphere. The 1/6 scale suits her nicely, her body looks fantastic with all the details of her sculpt and she has beautiful boobs.

The final figure shows a commendable quality, everything is smooth with no edges or obvious seam lines with two metal pegs and reinforced base she stands pretty solid on one leg.

I hope you liked the pictures of the happy figure and maybe the review was informative.

Hi there, I added 4 new items to my Preorder List and so it is time to take a look at the recent preorders, further below I will also show you other recently announced figures I’m partially interested  in. Under Preorder Roadmap you can see all of my preordered figures for 2014.

The prices are retail prices, without the discount most figure related shops have to offer.

Recent  Preorders

Kongou – Kantai Collection ~Kan Colle~

For gods sake I still wasn’t able to get in this stupid online game, even with all the “tricks”. Just how difficult can it be ｡ﾟ(TヮT)ﾟ｡ !!? Even without being able to play the game, I love the visual style of Kantei Collection. Combining a cute girl with a classic battleship from WWII makes you nearly forget about the tragedy that befall this and many other ships. Back to the admirals darling, Kongou looks simply gorgeous, considering that she is only scaled 1/8 this figure is super detailed, the few damage effects on her and the clothes give her some sexy appeal .

Max Factory also makes three of the cute submarine girls, I -19, I – 168 and I – 58

manufacturer: Max Factory release date: September 2014 scale: 1/8 price: 13.704 Y
 

 Nitro Super Sonic – Sonico – Beach Queens

As Sonico fan, I just couldn’t ignore this new Beach Queen, Wave sculpted her nicely with all of her convincing physical attributes, just look at her thighs, she’s pure dynamite. I also like the little red crab which will be included .

manufacturer: Wave release date: September 2014 scale: 1/10 price: 6.000 Y
 

Ikaros – Sora no Otoshimono Final 

Recently I have finished the manga from Sora no Otoshimono, it ended pretty unspectacular, you should expect nothing from a harem setting in the end. The authors just don’t have the guts to let the main character pick one girl. One of Sora no Otoshimono’ good part is the appealing character design and likeability of it’s characters. Kotobukiya decided to make a figure of Ikaros under their 4 Leaves lable. She looks lovely from head to toe, I just love her puppy eyes. From the backside she also convinces with her detailed braids.

manufacturer: Kotobukiya release date: August 2014 scale: 1/6 price: 12.000 Y
 

Kashiwazaki Sena – Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT

I ordered this figure as soon as she was available, sure she is huge, but I’m sure that I will like this curvy girl, the sculpting is so well done. Also her face is convincing, Gift did a very good job at recreating the face of Sena with all of it’s details, while other companies failed at it so far.

manufacturer: Gift release date: June 2014 scale: 1/4 price: 13.000 Y

Finally a release date

Kirigaya Suguha – Sword Art Online

manufacturer: ALTER release date: 1th May 2014 scale: 1/8 price: 7.800 Y

I’ve been waiting ages for Suguha to be released, at first she was scheduled for November 2013, but now the day of her release is close. The figure has a nice natural sitting pose where she is placed on a cute veranda, I guess she will be a cute companion for outdoor shootings.

Interesting figures

I haven’t ordered these figures, but at least I find them overly interesting and like to list them.
Feel free to tell my which one you like or which not, or would like to see in a review

Cecilia Alcott – IS: Infinite Stratos 2 – Bunny ver.

manufacturer: Freeing release date: October 2014 scale: 1/4 price: 18.333 Y

As it was already announced at last Wonfes, FREEing is going to turn all IS girls except Houki into large scale figures. I always checked out FREEing’s big figures at Tentacle Armada and thought that they are pretty. Nevertheless, when looking at Cecilia I’m kinda impressed how faithful she is to her anime appearance with blush and a lively expression, she looks quite gorgeus. Let’s hope that there will be no cutbacks on the details in the final product.

Original Character – Kondo Yume

manufacturer: Native release date: September 2014 scale: 1/8 price: 10.185 Y

It is mean that Native mixed this adorable cute character design with so much lewdness, ok the illustration was already like that. Yume is really cute, she is petite, pretty and yeah she even has glasses. I like her type quite a bit, there are a number different ways to display her.

These battery powered things in her bag give me the creeps and actually are superfluous for me and I will let them stay in the box. Aside from that, she comes with a mattress and pillows. I’m probably going to order her, even when it takes all of my courage to do so. You can order her from the 25th April 2014 at your proxy of choice or directly from Native.

 
 Taimanin Asagi – Igawa Asagi

manufacturer: Milestone release date: September  2014 scale: 1/8 price: 9.000 Y

Oh I nearly forgot to add Asagi, this is the second figure that I’ve seen of this character. I like the design of her. Her origin is quite  hard stuff, I’m not talking about fights, I took a look in one part, it was not really my thing. Anyway I’m happy that she is made modest in a cool pose

Sonsaku Hakufu – Ikki Tousen

manufacturer: Dragon Toy release date: August  2014 scale: 1/6 price: 14.500 Y

I have a week spot for the latest Ikki Toussen figures from Daiki/Dragon Toy. The latter one made this super pretty Hakufu figure in damaged clothes, I think she would look good next to my Kan’u , both have a similar style and very good body sculpting. This hole in her shirt will be a bit difficult to cover, I assume, that I can worry about that later ;D

Souryuu Asuka Langley – Evangelion Shin Gekijouban: Q – Jersey ver.

manufacturer: ALTER release date: September 2014 scale: 1/7 price: 10.800 Y

Thats probably the most fashionable Asuka figure to date, the hat alone is awesome, ALTER included a different posing option to recreate two different, appealing poses. Overall she looks very good and has a cool expression, I would consider to add her to my collection.

Mikasa Ackerman – Shingeki no Kyojin

manufacturer: GSC release date: October 2014 scale: 1/8 price: 12778 Y

Ackermann looks really good as figure, she has cool clothes is super detailed and a without a doubt pretty face. Well, even though I like this story Mikasa comes from a lot, strangely I don’t feel much for anyone of the characters.

Kinomoto Sakura – Card Captor Sakura – Nendoroid

manufacturer: GSC release date: September 2014 scale: Nendoroid price: 4.444 Y

Better late than never a Nendoroid of Sakura appears, I just watched the whole Cardcaptor anime like two years ago, it’s the perfect example of a very nicely concluded anime. You could order her from the 25th April 2014 , I probably will.

Mankanshoku Mako – Kill la Kill – Nendoroid

manufacturer: GSC release date: August 2014 scale: Nendoroid price: 3.889 Y

This is a real comedy Nendoroid, I like her funny expressions a lot, she will also have special bendable arms. The special edition comes with a beaten up face, which is just creepy X<.
 

Urusei Yatsura – Lum Invader – ARTFX J

manufacturer: Kotobukiya release date: September 2014 scale: 1/7 price: 9.000 Y

Upcoming figures I’m interested in

Kousaka Honoka – Love Live! School Idol Project

manufacturer: GSC scale: 1/8

Love Live is such an entertaining show, there are my animes related to the Idol culture, but Love Live is special. Sparkling animations and character designs, mixed with a number of different, but likeable personalities. GSC chose Honoka as figure to be made, she looks great so far. Actually I like the “big”girl, but the one that steals my heart is the little devil, Nico.

Koshimizu Sachiko – iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls

manufacturer: Phat Company scale: 1/8

This is so good, an enchanting yandere type of Idol, I love her cute demonic expression, it’s a rarely used theme, her pose is also unique, I hope the final figure looks as shiny as this.

Tachibana Makoto – Free!  ALTAiR

manufacturer: ALTER scale: 1/8

Well, here we have a sexy boy, oh my I’m watching too many sport anime lately. I never watched Free! for it’s lack of female characters, well I have heard that the female swim coach was pretty. Makoto is not really the bishounen type, but I think he looks pretty cool in this pose and outfit. Preorders haven’t opened so far.

The next prize figure review,the subject of review is another Sonico figure, but it’s from FuRyu.

Super Sonico – The Animation is still fun, her random adventures are fun to watch and she’s so damn cute. The friendly environment Sonico lives in, the slice of life characteristics and all of her acquaintances and friends are quite charming. She appears a bit too fragile sometimes and becomes flustered easily, I hope she can overcome this at one point.

Sonico Sweets Time version was released in November 2013, no scale was mentioned, but with a length of 180 mm she’s around 1/8 scale. I ordered her because it was refreshing to see a figure like that, chilling on a couch, a really creative creation for a cheap figure.

For just 1.590 Yen you get a cute Sonico figure. a plate with donuts, and a nice pink sofa.

FuRyu already made and planned a number of appealing Sonico prize figures like a Teeth-Brushing version, a After Taking Bath version or a  Clothes Changing Time version. All of them in a similar style, that portrays Sonico in rather natural situations. I actually  don’t intend to get more of these cute prize figures, but the After Taking Bath version looks really interesting.

This figure here shows Sonico chilling on her sofa while zapping with the TV remote  and eating a donut. She is dressed in comfortable clothes, cuddly socks and shorts and a simple tank top…

Hair & Face

Sonico’s hair is long and flows over the couch, the hair looks a bit more chunky and not as fine as Taito’s Space Police Sonico, she has a strong color gradient. The bangs have nice strands, it seems like I was  lucky again and received a relative clean copy, I’ve seen pics where her bangs were really rough. There is still a little roughness at certain points when looking more closely.

Her headphones have a nice shape, but the thick paint on the silver parts and really rough edges at the black belt, shows the difference compared to a full price figure .

How is such a cheap figure possible, I ask myself,  the figure and the accesories consists of 15 parts,  pressed and probably even  painted  by a machine, what’s left is connecting the parts and maybe cutting off excess material, which causes low labour expenses. After I’ve once read what Pakistan workers earn for sewing an complete official Fifa football, I was just shocked. I hope the diligent Chinese who assemble our top tier figures are paid well enough to make a living.

The figure has a cute, nicely sculpted face with an interesting expression, that shows the girl immersed in watching TV. Sonico has detailed and cleanly printed eyes, there are also eyebrows and blush marks. The open mouth is sweet and shows an upper front teeth line.

Outfit & Body

Sonico is wearing a sweet outfit, it’s not as revealing as her usual outfits, it’s something much more innocent. The white shirt has a number of wrinkles, she is wearing it in a shoulderfree fashion, that shows her proud cleavage, Sonico can’t be Sonico without being a little tease.

Her short, light blue shorts resembles something like Nicki terry cloth. the warm, thick socks closely follow the silhouette of her feet which looks quite convincing together with the folds and texture. The shirt is a little rough at the outer edges, socks and shorts only have some smaller seamlines when you take a close look.

Also as prize figure Sonico has a nice body, the skinparts looks very well sculpted. Also the articulation appears really convincing from her legs to the joints of her fingers, I was impressed. Her butt isn’t flattened which is nice. The pose is supercute, she is lying sideways on her sofa with her legs in air, eating donut. The skin looks soft and has good opaque tone.

Accessories

The additional items this figure come with are really cool, since they aren’t glued to the figure, so they can be used without the figure. The pink sofa is made of ABS and has a deep seat for Sonico’s butt. The shadows are shaded with airbrush. A plate of donuts is also included, these parts are glued together, the detailed sugarcoat give them a tasty, realistic appearance.

Final Words

In summary FuRyu made a nice Sonico prize figure with cool accesories, the pose is creative and has good articulation, done with attention to detail. With her cute face and the comfortable clothes she makes an adorable figure, nevertheless the Sonico is not free of flaws, seamlines, thick paint and a light roughness are the things you have to expect when getting a prize figure .

Compared to the Sonico Space Police from Taito this Sonico appears closer to a normal run figure. While Taito’s Sonico had a really nice and cheerful expression and finer hair, the overall quality of the Super Sonico – Sweets Time version is better and slightly more elaborate.

It has been around 4 months since my last New Preorders post, so here is a new one.
Thanks to all the delays from last year, 2014 is already rather crowded with preordered figures which will without question influence this years upcoming preorders in an inconvenient way.
In the meantime I ordered a few fancy plastic things nevertheless 6 new figures actually.

———————————————————————————————————

Cerberus – Rage of Bahamut

manufacturer: Max Factory release date: June 2014 scale: 1/7
price: 11.300 Y

Yes, I like demon girls a lot and for some reason this list is full of them

When thinking about figures from Rage of Bahamut Olivia from Kotobukiya comes to mind, since I don’t like her design that much and also decided that I won’t buy a Kotobukiya figure again for once (Im not really serious here as you will see later) I’m happy that Max Factory brought their painted prototype and preorders for Cerberus were opened recently.

I also played the smartphone card game “Rage of Bahamut” this girl is based on, it features a number of other pretty demon girls, but the performance is kind of bad on my device.

Cerberus is a pretty girl with a hell of a cute face, twintails and beast ears, she’s rather petite, not too tall with meaty thighs and a fancy, skin revealing outfit. The gold and gloss look spectacular on her soft skin. The doggy gloves/hands are kinda funny, but give her something cheerful, without basis I think she will be delivered with optional hands to satisfy more customers.

Sorceress – Dragon Nest

manufacturer: GSC release date: May scale: 1/8
price: 6.870 Y

Finally GSC changed this from a China only figure to something every collector could get their hands on. I was more than happy to be able to place my reservation for this cool looking figure.

Mammon – The Seven Deadly Sins

manufacturer: Orchid Seed release date:  September scale: 1/8
price: 12.840 Y

This is going to be my first Sins figure from Orchid Seed, it should be better qualitywise, than Amakuni. Leviathan is a lovely figure, but the bad cast off still leaves a little bad aftertaste.

Im not planning to buy the complete set of the 7 deadly sins, but the figures I like the most are of interest to me I might get Belphegor and Beelzebub next.  Mammon is an adult woman and actually a mother. She is without a doubt a very curvy girl with big boobs and a butt of similar size. I like her overall design, the voluptuous body, the outfit with all it’s details and the pose where she carries a basket full of demon food. Her face is beautiful and the drill hair as well.

Sonico – Super Sonico The Animation – Figma – Swimsuit version

manufacturer: Max Factory release date: March scale: figma
price: 10.700 Y

Do you follow the Sonico anime? I watch it and I like the slow paced slice of life concept, it is close to the setting of Sonicomi, but without cameraman san. I better stay away from any MAL discussion, since it would only annoy me, some complained that there was too much fanservice and some that there is not enough of it. The show is very cute and has a kind setting, I’m glad that they made no idiot out of Sonico, she is in college and actually a dilligent student.

The figma comes with the first volume of the Soniani Blu Ray, it was sold out within minutes, lucky me didn’t wait too long. She looks adorable and I imagine it to be a fun figma to take along in my summer vacation. I love how  curvy she is and how she is holding a swim ring. It appears to be one of the newer figma frames, her hip joints are nicely covered.

Sonico – Nitro Super Sonic – Santa, Swimsuit version

manufacturer: ALTER release date: April or Later scale: 1/7
price: 8.050 Y

Why have I ordered this again? It’s a Sonico bikini figure with christmas decorations from ALTER.
The figure wears a friendly smile on her face and is sculpted in a sweet gravure idol pose and shows a really pretty cleavage. Don’t expect her to be castoffable, it’s already uncommon to see such a hottie made by ALTER

Mushanokouji Iwai – Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge – BEACH QUEEN

manufacturer: Wave release date: December 2012 scale: 1/10
price: 3.670 Y

I know it will be a really tiny, small scale figure, but she’s SOOO CUUUTE! The first time I wanted to preorder her she was sold out, but this week she was in stock again. I have no idea who she is but her face and the mass of hair hnnng!

Erunoe – Lil’Fairy – Chiisana Otetsudai-san

manufacturer: Azone release date: summer scale: 1/12

price: 8.050 Yen

This cute little devil was supposed to stay in the “Upcoming figures I’m interested in” category, but I had the tab with her open for two days and ordered her as this post was as good as finished. It’s a tiny little doll with cheerful eyes, I’m kind of glad that she was restocked, the first batch was sold out immediately. She has two maid workmates and I’m partially interested to add this one with the white hair and black uniform.

Upcoming figures I’m interested in 

I haven’t ordered these figures, but at least I find them overly interesting and like to list them.
Feel free to tell my which one you would suggest me to get or like to see in a review

———————————————————————————————————

Amazon – Excellent Model – Dragon’s Crown

manufacturer: MegaHouse release date: July scale: 1/7

Amazon is a strong girl with a set of muscles, still she looks still very feminine in my eyes.
What I like the most is her nice hair and the beautiful face, these blue eyes are so expressive.
An 1/7 scale is rather unusual for this manufacturer, but it is a nice change, to make something bigger. I find it great how Megahouse applied the shading on the very detailed sculpted body.

Two things that bother me, is that her top is too low, where are her nipples supposed to be? and her thighs still look a bit extreme.

Super Sonico – Mouse version

manufacturer: Wing release date: April scale: 1/7

Haha I hope Sonico doesn’t like cheese, that for sure took long until preorders finally opened.
With her tongue out Sonico has a light naughty expression, a little more assertiveness suits her.
The mouse eared figure comes with a huge cheese themed base, The girl looks charming and the focus on her butt is quite nice. I think I like this figure enough to justify a purchase

Mei Sagara – Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!

manufacturer: FREEing  release date: March scale: 1/8

This girl has a lot of cute megane (glasses) appeal, but somehow she forgot most of her clothes.

Leafa  – Fairy Dance – Sword Art Online

manufacturer: Kotobukiya release date: April scale: 1/8

That looks like a great Leafa figure, deep green friendly eyes, pointy ears and a really nice rack.
She’s really pretty and the base fits very well to her, like a small diorama.

I always preferred the other girls in Sword Art Online instead of Asuna, in particular Leafa / Suguha but I found it silly that people started to dislike Asuna as she was trapped in a golden cage. The figure looks lovely in the promo shots, unfortunately this figure was made by the same sculptor as Kobato, like you all know, I didn’t really enjoy, after all. I better play safe this time and try to get her after release in case I like the final product.

Makoto Harada – Yamato Girls Collection – Yamato 2199

manufacturer:  Alpha x Omega release date: March scale: 1/8

Have you ever watched the old Uchuu Senkan Yamato? It’s a combination of the old Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica. I did and it was awesome, it sucked that I had to watch the last episode in english, to be fair, the japanese dub also was far from good at first, bu that improved quickly. Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 is a more modern version with fantastic animations. Makoto Harada is the top nurse on the ship and assists the doctor with sake.

As big fan of the show I would like to have her. I love the cute design of her, the sweet face, the fashionable pink suit and the dynamic pose, she has exchangle faces and arms.

The Muse of Range Murata – JC.COM

manufacturer: ALTER release date: May or Later scale: 1/6

I’d never believe this lovely GK figure would be adapted as PVC figure, but no it even is from ALTER and of a large scale. The girl is based on the art of Range Murata, it’s a cute and attractive design with a scarf, boots and gloves and cute underwear. A chair is also part of this great figure.

Billy the Kid – Eiyuu*Senki GOLD

manufacturer: FREEing release date: May scale: 1/8

A wild, slender girl with a cowboy – bikini dress and a watergun, I find her design totally appealing, she’s proud and has a dominant appearance despite from being half naked.

Anything here caught your attention?

I’m a bit lost here, march, april and may will be full of cool figures, any suggestions what I should get? If I didn’t have brought so many figure preorders from 2013 in the new year, I could order more freely without stressing myself.

Somewhere on an empty road a Nissan 200 SX with two passengers onboard was driving away.
The man had a very pretty, healthy girl on the passengers seat, who throw a innocent smile in the drivers direction.

“I feel like my breast are swollen since yesterday, could you take a look”

“No, No they are perectly fine” he replied quickly in a flustered act, while refusing himself to take a look at the object of discussion.

“But when I push a little here one of them is bigger, see?” totally ignorant avout the appeal of her own body, the girl won’t stop pressing on her boobs creating all kinds of weird shapes inside her cleavage.

“Stoop! Im driving BAKA! GO and cover your boobs already!”

*nipslip* “Kyahhh!”

the front window instantly turned red….

this just happened in his dream!

Hello, this review will be a little different than usual, the figure is so special to me, that I felt like writing a little story additional the usual review routine. I’m not lying when I say that it was my most anticipated figure of 2013, she was announced around 1 Year ago and without further delay she was released in December.

Sonico PKG (Package) verson is based on an illustration by Tsuji Santa, which was printed on the manual of the Sonicomi – communication with Sonico PC Game. The figure was made by Orchid Seed, they already have a history with Sonico figures, in my opinion they made the best Sonico figures so far and this is no exception.  This figure was made by Ishiyama Satoshi, a talented sculptor, who already made made a large number of busty beauties for Orchid Seed.

Sonico PKG ver. is scaled 1/5 and has a height of  33 cm, I have no figure that is bigger than her.

 Hair & Face

Sonico has her usual hairstyle, shoulder long at the front, at the back it ends a bit above her butt. The strands in front rest on her chest without a gap. The hair is painted in a bright pink color with darker pink highlights. It is nicely sculpted with many single strands, aside from a few uneven spots you can only notice on very close inspection it is rather smooth. The seamline on top is hidden by her trademark, the silver headphones, these are very detailed and have a convincing metallic look.

What I really like about this certain Sonico is her different face expression, it’s not the usual happy or flustered expression, it’s somewhat neutral, but there is a kinda strong atmosphere it emits, like she’s lost in thought while taking a look at the surrounding or calmly walking along the beach. The face is sculpted very well with details like a cute nose and big expressive eyes, there is a faint blush on her cheeks with the slightly open mouth the whole face appears a little more realistic than other anime related figures.

 Outfit & Body

Sonico is obviously a buxom beauty with a really attractive body, she has a nice pair of big boobs, they are very well sculpted in a teardrop like shape, the slight sag gives them a feel of weight and a idea of gravity. The skimpy bikini top covers her chest tightly and there is a certain tension on the thin garters. The figure has a rather big round butt, her buttocks appear  beefy as if they were made of concrete and the bikini pants don’t really have a chance to cover her skin.

Sonico is popular for having a bit more meat around her bones, her broad hips are so damn hot. The figure is supported by her strong thighs compared to that, her belly is rather free of fat and her hip bones are still visible in this figure adaption, a deeper engraved bellybutton would have made the sculpting perfect for me. I think it’s an awesome sculptur nevertheless.

Sonico’s outfit is quite unique a bikini with star patterned stockings and boots.I really love the heavy boots, colored in petrol, it is a elaborate design and the white bootlaces look convincing.

The white bikini has nice shading effects and a detailed sculpting with wrinkles and stuff.

The figure ist castoffable, first you have to take off the head, then the ribbon in the middle at her back, after that you disconnect the straps. The bikini is flexible enough, don’t be scared to break it in the cast off process. It’s a good solution, the top has a tight fit and isn’t bulky at all.

As to be expected by a figure sculpted by Ishiyama Satoshi, Sonico has beautiful breasts the elevated areola area and detailed nipples give them the final touch, I like this angle.

7:00 Cameraman san takes a blurry look at his clock

“Oh I have to hurry, I must pick up Sonico at 7:45 and take her to the studio, we have a shooting” “Arghh! I’m short on time, breakfast or shower?” mumbled Cameraman san to himself while he was rubbing his eyes. He decided to take a shower “this guy is terribly energetic today I have no time for that now… get down” demanded Camera san as he was looking down his feet in a frustrated manner.

7:25 Cameraman san is fresh and fully dressed ready to leave the house any Second. He grabs his keys and starts the motor of his 200 SX, “it will be a sunny day”, he thought as he was driving further.

7:26 As fan of cheesy Jpop music her turned on his current favorite and started singing along “Hime,Hime, hime hime hime”

7:32 He arrives on Sonico’s appartment and checked his outer appearance “passed” he said in a sharp short breath. Sonico was already outside and noticed him, with a cheerful waving gesture she quickly approached the car, he inspeced her outfit from a distance, she was wearing a sand colored jacket over a dark blue dress with white polkadots, long enough to cover her knees.

7:37 Sonico takes a look through the opened sidewindow and made a cute salute pose torwards Cameraman san. He could barely suppress his stupid smile after being greeted from lovely girl like her, after he regained his cool, he said “jump in young lady”. Sonico nodded and took her seat. “Good morning” she said calmy. “Hi Sonico we will work together again this week, it’s always a pleasure” “Yeah” said the pink haired girl as her cheeks slowly turned red. “Today it is for the big shoe Company” she added in a fast spoken sentence. “speaking of that the outfit, that our client chose is a little eccentric, but  don’t worry you should look good in it anyway” he said in order to comfort the girl next to him.
“Hahaha” Sonico burst out in laughter, “it can’t be worse than the cow costume last time, you know Suzu made fun of me the whole week”, complained Sonico with a bitter smile.

7:44 Cameraman san and Sonico arrived near the studio’s location. “You don’t have to be nervous, I’m here for you.” he said as he was touching her shoulder. There was weird silence inside the car. “Don’t worry about Sonico, I’m stronger than it might appear” she said in a very gentlle voice” while she lowered her head, Sonico carefully held out her small hand into Cameraman sans direction and formed it into a fist, he understood the idea of the girl and calmly met Sonico’s fist with his. “Thank you” said the girl softly, with a bright smile.

“Let me see the outfit please” she demanded friendly but authoritative. “Sure” he hesitantly handed over the large bag, sweat was appearing at his forehead “they said you can keep the boots, if you like”, he added, as Sonico impatiently grabbed the suspicious container and opened it.

“WHAAAT!?” a loud voice from a pink haired demon like creature shook the car, “I will wear only this, they can’t be serious” “I’LL KILL YOU!”

Final Words

There are still some pictures left below, but it is really time to sum up my impression about this figure. Orchid Seed delivered an excellent figure of Sonico with top notch quality, I didn’t stumble upon any seam line at her body. The body sculpting is very smooth and detailed thank you Ishiyama Satoshi for making her such a stunning beauty. With her standing straight, you can enjoy all her buxom glory, it is a calm but at the same time expressive pose. The most important part of a figure is always the face and even here the Sonico PKG convinces with waving flags, the deep eyes, the nose and the mouth make her a really adorable Sonico.

How does this Sonico PKG figure rank in comparison with my other Sonico figures? I would say it’s slightly ahead of the nice Sonico – Bath Time figure from Native, her butt and boobs looks far better and she’s standing up, what I prefer. But she is a little behind the Sonico – Bondage version (black) this is still the best Sonico figure, her stylish outfit, the sex appeal, also the whole atmosphere she emits and many different cast off options make her my number one.

Is it itchy anywhere…?

Hi people today I will show you the review of the Super Sonico Bath Time version figure.

The figure is scaled 1/6, together with the bath tub she has a height of 25 cm, this Sonico was manufactured by Native and released in June 2012. She was sold as exclusive item, so I had to order with my proxy buyer of choice Tokyohunter, who turned out as very reliable again.

I love bathing and I love Sonico, so there was no way I could pass on this darling.

This one is my first figure from Native, their slogan is “nude and creative” and they don’t lie.

The figure arrived in creatively styled box, included in the package is Sonico ^^, a quarter bath tub, three little bathing friends, a semi transparent and a white rubber towel, a foam part, parts to keep the figure in position. and a postcard with the illustration the figure is based on.

Face & Hair

As I’ve said a few times I prefer Sonico with a happy face expression, here Sonico shows a shy and surprised expression. Even though it is no happy face expression, it is very well done. It is one of the best faces on a Sonico figure so far. Overall it’s on par with the face of Sonico bondage – Candy Pink version with more blush it would be even better. Zenko gave her big expressive eyes and a beautiful open mouth with a detailed depth to it, also a glossy lower lip was added.

Unfortunately she doesn’t show the same amount of blush at her cheeks like on the illustration, as figure she only has faint blush marks, it depends on the light how good you can notice them.

The hair is also very well done with the many single strands of her hair hanging down, the wet look is done in an convincing manner. There is the typical light pink to dark pink gradiant paintjob. Sonico doesn’t take off her headphones, even when she’s cleaning herself, strange isn’t it?

Body & Pose

Native’s Sonico is one of the bigger 1/6 figures out there, not as big as Astraea from Plum, but she is big piece of PVC, in that size the body and the pretty face have a very nice appearance.

Sonico has a bright skintone, under certain light conditions it differs between slightly pink and a bright sand like color, areas with stronger shading were applied over her boobs, her hips, the lower belly and the part where her leg bends. Overall a natural looking skin tone was created.

In this figure adaption Sonico appears less chubby than the Bondage version for example, she’s nearly petite when you look at her slender arms and the nice collarbones, the only more meaty parts are her F-cup boobs and the thighs. I like her proportions and she looks very attractive.

Sonico covers herself with a towel which is made of soft rubber like material, the semi transparent towel resembles a wet look and the white one has a dry look. Of course it wouldn’t be a Native figure without some nudity, the towel comes off after you’ve separated her left arm.

Now her Big Bangs are revealed, they are nicely shaped and have pink pointy nipples.
It’s nice how it seems like she supports her boobs with her left arm. Sonico also has a sculpted vagina which is hidden behind a semi transparent plastic part which resembles bathing foam, it can’t be taken off without force cause it’s glued under her leg. Maybe Nitro+ was against showing their official mascot with a bare beaver. Personally, I don’t mind keeping a little modesty, though.

I have heard many good things about the quality of Native figures and it seems to be true, the sculpting of Sonico’s body is detailed and smooth, seam lines or rough areas can’t be found.

Now to the base; Sonico sits on a white quarter cutted bath tub, which is her base. I’m not sure if she enters the the tub or leaves it, but anyway it was a cool idea to make a Sonico figure like that, it’s a creative combination of posing and base. The tub has one fancy designed golden foot and three black simple feet, inside the bath tub there is a dirt rim paintjob applied.

Sonico is supported via a peg and a metal rod with a clamp that holds her left leg. The right leg rests on the tub. It is a stable solution and the walls of the tub hide these supporting parts.

One detail that dissapoints a little is the quarter cut shape. While setting up the figure and the base, I noticed that it restricts the way to display her quite a bit, cause it leaves many open sides. In my opinion it would have been better to equip Sonico with a small full bath tub instead.

Final Words

This Sonico turned out very well, the bathing themed pose and tub base, also the exceptionally beautiful face and the sexy body are a nice combination which make this figure something special.

As the Sonico fan I am, Im very happy to own such a nice high quality 1/6 scaled figure of her.
Aside from slightly too faint blush marks and only a quarter of a bathing tub, there is not much to complain about, it’s my second favorite figure of Sonico so far.

Thx for reading,  see you soon with another review.
