The To LOVE-Ru (To LOVEる -とらぶる-) anime started in 2008 as a cute romantic comedy with ecchi elements. It was a succesful project with several seasons and OVA’s.

Lala is a very cheerful and carefree girl, sometimes she is quite airheaded, although she is an engineer and inventor of advanced gadgets, unfortunately her funny machines always have a certain bug that create ecchi and embarrasing events for main character Rito and all of his female friends. Lala can get a little annoying, but in my book she’s an likeable character.

In the latest adaption To LOVE-Ru Darkness the former main characters Lala and Sairenji Haruna were reduced to side characters, a development I still feel somewhat angry about.

Fortunately a figure of the sweet Lala Satalin Deviluke was released 2016. After I already received a great figure of Haruna Sairenji in 2015, another one of my favorite TLR heroines arrived, the one I will review today is the Lala Satalin Deviluke – swimsuit version from ALTER.
She was sold as limited + exclusive figure on AmiAmi, fortunately for affordable 10,926 Yen.

The figure of Lala is scaled 1/6, her height of 26,5 cm is very appealing, this stunning beach beauty was sculpted by Ryujin. She was released earlier this year in mid February 2016.

What first meets the eye is, that her skimpy outfit is quite tantalizing, on another note it really accentuates her first class body sculpting, she just looks marvelous and gorgeous.

Next to borderline ecchi comed,ythe success of To LOVE-Ru is also partially based on the sweet and pretty character designs with the distinctive eyes. Lala has an especially sweet face on this figure adaption, she wears an expression where seems to be lost in thoughts. I love such thoughtful expressions, but Lala seems also a little coy here, maybe she thinks if her outfit was the right choice for the date with her chosen one today.

The figures face is just so beautiful with her wonderful green eyes, also the finely printed lines and eyebrows  are quite nice. And for my taste she has the perfect blush, her slightly opened mouth gives her face a more elaborate appearance and brings this figure of Lala to life.

Her long, flying hair also looks great and detailed, with funny ahoge, it’s an especially nicely sculpted hairstyle with seperated strands that create a sense of depth. It’s an attractive pink color, the tips and shading  have amore bright shade of pink. As decoration there is the Peke hairclip, Peke is actually a highly advanced robot who manages Lala’s wardrobe, but it is also an intelligent and devoted companion of her.

Apparently Lala isn’t wearing many clothes, it’s a hot outfit for the hot summer ^^. It consist of a skimpy white bikini top, blue hotpants and converse all star oxford trainers similar shoes.

Her white triangle bikini tightly hugs the ample boobs and illustrate the illusion of soft skin, it’s straps are sculpted separate from the body, the gap between straps and body is nice. Lala’s hotpants are not only tiny, but also unbuttoned and barely hide the crucial places, which makes things more ecchi. The shoes are very detailed and underline the feeling of summer.

Like aforementioned Lala has a stunningly attractive body, the sculptor really did his best in making her body look detailed andcovetable. Just looking at her marvelous belly sets the viewer into pleasant delight. The overall very smooth skin is simply perfect for such a skin revealing figure. Lala has wonderfully shaped breast and buttocks, too. The arched back pose considerable lift her boobs upwards and the tight bikini accentuates the soft illusion.

Aside from that, the figure also has cute small hands with nicely articulated fingers. As member of a alien race of Deviluke Lala has a tail, colored in dark but with red color tip.
Haha in the anime and mange the sensitive of her tail was to blame for hilarious moments.

Final Words

So far Lala Satalin Deviluke – swimsuit version is my favorite figure from the ones I’ve received this year. One of her obvious charm points is definetely her super attractive body, but also such an adorable head has been put on it, so it turned into a nice combination of sexy (honestly very sexy) and moe. Ryujin and ALTER gave her an interesting expression and nicely articulated pose as well. This figure is a striking example of an extremely attractive beach girl.

This Lala Satalin Deviluke is of very high quality, a gorgeous and appealing design and top notch execution as final product convince me and I’m overjoyed by this beautiful figure.

Since 2008 my interest in To Love Ru faded a little, especially since the development of Darkness, also my interest in harem anime in general obviously decreased over the years.
Still it feels nice to have such a pretty figure of an anime I really enjoyed once.

Do you like this figure of ALTER’s Lala Satalin Deviluke – swimsuit version?
I hope I could convey my super positive impression of this figure.

Before the christmas holidays, I will review another Max Factory figure in 2015, it’s the all so cute Sairenji Haruna. She is from the fanservice heavy To LOVE RU anime/manga.

Max Factory adapted the design of a bride without actual wedding dress, but appealing lingerine and veil. After Momo Bella Deviluke and Kurosaki Mea, Sairenji Haruna is the third adapted figure from this official illustration, Kotegawa Yui would convince me as well ♡.

Momo, Mea and Haruna are scaled 1/6 and designed by sculptor Nakayama. I ordered Haruna’s figure for 9.230 Yen. She was released in the end of November 2015.

Sairenji is based on the art of Saki Hasemi and Kentarō Yabuki, actually she was created after the appearance of the authors wife. Haruna was my favorite character in the beginning of the To Love Ru anime, she totally reminds me of my first Highschool romance ^^.

Sairenji Haruna is a kind, understanding and patient character, she often is a victim of the main characters clumsyness, but never gets angry at him. In TLR she is an extremely likeable person. I was rooting for her, but thats rather useless in harem animes in general.

Some time later the authors wife turned crazy and demanded a divorce, in order to this she awarded the rights to the character and so Sairenji’s role was dramatically reduced.

Well, I still like Sairenji Haruna and I’m extremely happy that a figure has been made this year.

Highlights:

Face: – The 1/6 scale makes it possible to create a detailed expressive face, it’s probably the most remarkable thing about this figure adaption of Haruna. The characterdesign from the anime was adapted faithfully, the shape of her head and the exposed forehead are mayor attributes of her character. In this figure adaption, the girl looks rather coy, but also observing, her eyes are just beautiful, the small opened, chestnut shaped mouth underlines the subtle sweetness of her expression.

Outfit: – The lingerine dress of bride Haruna is appealing, wrinkles and partially an illusion of slightly transparent fabric adds an realistic touch. The shiny texture resembles a silky look, the contrast between smooth, matte skin and lingerine is very attractive. She wears a cute top decorated with frill and garters attached to it, that are connecting to her stockings. The triangle panties are detailed, the added see trough effect above her buttocks is quite lovely.

As pretty as Haruna’s outfit is, I noticed something that bothers me just a little. On closer inspection the shading has been applied in a bold manner, the not so precisely used airbrush slightly disturbs the appearance of the delicately sculpted dress, but it’s just a marginal note.

Body: – To Love Ru is ecchi comedy focusing on showing budding bishoujo teenagers in accidentially ecchi situations. As the first season was aired I was happy with it and the funny fanservice involving cute girls. Years later To Love ru Darkness aired there,  I came to the following conclusions. A: harem can be an annoying genre B: most of the female characters stayed too young in appearance, so my enjoyment of the fanservice turned out limited XD.

The figure of Sairenji Haruna also portrays the image of a budding teenager with a modest chest (ahaha now I’ve said it XD) Still, the petite appearance is appealing in other areas. Her upper body is so nicely sculpted, complimenting the girls smooth skin. The figures skin really has a smooth feel to it. I love her cute arms, the shoulders, the collarbones. what really makes me jawdrop though are the details of her upper back, just lovely （´・｀ ）♡.

Exchangeable Parts: – You either have the choice between an appropriate bridal veil or Haruna’s trademark bangs. The veil, though being made of plastic is pretty, white roses and other flowers, I can’t clearly identity are placed on the front. The veil has a gradient from nearly clear to less transparent, the created movement creates a really nice look.
Both suits Haruna very well, although I like her trademark hairstyle the most actually.

Final Words

A few more words to wrap this up, teenage bride Sairenji Haruna is a beautifully made figure with a gorgeus looking face that has a convincing expression and also an nicely sculpted body.

The funny thing is that I’m not particularly keen on figures in wedding dresses. My main motivation was to receive an especially great looking figure of Haruna as kind of keepsake. This Haruna made by Max Factory could have worn any kind of outfit, I would’ve ordered it right away. They manufactured a really cute and visually appealing figure, even with her young girl proportions Haruna is quite attractive, the 1/6 scale is another big asset.

If you like Sairenji Haruna as character or simply cute, short hair figures, this is worth a thought. I’m sure that this wasn’t the last bride from Max Factory… Kotegawa Yui, please.
