Today i will show you a figure made by Kalmia Project, its the very adorable Kotori, Takigawa Kotori. A character from the visual novel Nanairo Reincarnation, nicely illustrated by Sumeragi Kohaku.The figure with the enchanting smile was sculpted by Yadokari, Kotori Takigawa was released in early May 2017, she is scaled 1/7 with a height of 230mm.
She is not my first figure from Kalmia Project, earlier this year I reviewed the Pin Up Girl, which is also from their Magic Bullets line. What makes this company interesting for me are their choices of not so well known, but appealing source material to adapt their figures from. I was really drawn to this cute Takigawa Kotori figure ❤️❤️❤️.
On a personal or rather technical note, I wanted a new camera since ages and so I recently turned my back on Sony and the DSLR world, the pictures of this review were taken with a Panasonic LUMIX G DMC-GX8, a micro four thirds, the differences in size and weight are quite amazing on first impression it’s a cute camera. The petite black lady does a great job so far with taking figure pictures and pictures of my dolls. My first lens of choice was the H-HS043E.
Now back to todays truly adorable figure, Kotori is a character in Nanairo Reincarnation, I haven’t started playing it yet, so I only have limited knowledge about her character, as you can actually tell from her appearance, that she is a deredere girl, sweet and friendly. The open mouth underlines her cheerful appearance and atmosphere.
Kotori sports a short twintail hairstyle in a natural brown color, it’s a nicely sculpted and it’s a very cute hairstyle with the strands that are covering her forehead. The hair decoration reminds me of Alicia Melchiott from Valkyria Chronicles, although Kotori has the cuter one. The detailed facial expression also indicates that she is a character based on a VN. The figure shows a cute smile with her green and sparkling “VN eyes” based on Sumeragi Kohaku’s pretty design.
Kotori is a relatively short, slender and petite schoolgirl, in her revealing waitress outfit it’s noticeable that the girl isn’t what I would define as skinny and I really like that fact, she looks very attractive with the softly sculpted body of hers.
I like her legs with the well defined thighs, the transition from there to her butt really looks great, for being a petite girl Kotori has an beautiful round butt, in my opinion it’s one of best figure butts I’ve seen so far, awww it’s so marvelous.
The cute figure has a nice modest bust, that isn’t small nor too big, on figures I don’t really mind too bîg, as you might have noticed when following my blog regularly. with her top on she has a nice cleavage, but Kalmîa Project’s Takigawa Kotori also has a cast of option to expose her beautiful boobs, the shape is quite nice as well as her nipples.
Kotori shows what she got in this figure adaption, the outfit of the figure is actually as sexy and revealing as ït’s cute, a kind of underwear and incomplete waitress uniform, she also wears a thong with a cute red ribbon and frilly decorations in innocent white at the sides. A big, prominent garter is wrapped around her right leg. Her red shoes have a quite adorable design with the short heel is not so tantalizing which underlines the young deredere characters appeal.
Final Words
Kotori Takigawa turned out to a nice figure and was worth the purchase. She wears a cheerful and sweet expression with lovely and lively green eyes. She has a nicely articulated pose, that accentuates every part of her beautiful petite yet womanly body. A highlight there is definetely her firm round butt. With her skimpy waitress outfit, she certainly has a fanservice oriented design, but also distributes a cute and fluffy atmosphere. With her visual appeal and above average quality she is a convincing figure made by Kalmia Project, I’m curious to see more figures from that company.

It is not just a pvc figure
I call that a FINE ART
(and it is always nice to look at some anime tities)

It’s nice that you think this way ♡〜٩(^▿^)۶〜♡
I also see pretty figures not only as kind of fancy anime merchandise, like towels for example ^^.
Some figures are really works of art. Haha a little fanservice can’t be wrong (ؑ‷ᵕؑ̇‷)♡**

No matter how many times I look at her I keep thinking she is Shirley from Code Geass. I’m not sure why Kotori keeps reminding me of her.
I like the figure, your photos make her looks so sweet and soft, like she would be very pleasant to touch. I really like the cute pose and the frilly garter, good stuff. The Magic Bullets line seems to be done fairly well, I will keep that in mind in the future for their future releases.

lol, I actually see the similarities between those, the beautiful green eyes maybe. Although Shirley’s legs are twice as long 😀
She is really sweet ♡(.◜ω◝.)♡ I like girls that have no model lengths legs, Kotori has really nice proportions and a perfect butt.
They actually improved lightyears from the figure I’ve received earlier this year, Kotori is a quite impressive figure.

Ah, Nanairo Reincarnation. Last I heard, it has been greenlit by Steam so I’m really looking forward to playing it as well.
Anyway, nice figure. I actually really like the original design, though I have no idea how she’s like in the VN, lol. And yeah, since you changed camera, your pictures here do look a little bit different in ways I (the shitty photographer who only use his phone) can’t explain.

Huh, it seemed to feel a bit dark, but judging from some CG it looks appealing, so I’m happy to learn that it will be on steam.
Haha it seems that Kotori was chosen as the cutest character to deserve a figure, looking at the figure I would agree, she is very nice (｡♥‿♥｡)
Well, my previous camera was over 5 years old, technology definetely improved and it’s a flagship of a camera ^^
Aya
Congrats for the New Camera 😀
I looks the CG around don’t see her wearing these XD She looks really cute with those pigtails, so you can take off the chest part and switch them XD don’t seems to be cast off lol
wieselhead
Thx, it’s really great to have a smaller camera with better performance ⌒°(ᴖ◡ᴖ)°⌒
Ahahaha indeed it didn’t seem to be part of the game, but it was on the figures box, the illustrator probably did it as extra.
In her schoolgirl uniform she would also have looked great, too or a school swimsuit (//∇//).
Ah, I’m so used to write about castoff, but nowadays it’s mainly part exchange ^^

She is really cute with an awesome outfit. They did a great job with her face and her legs. I miss the days when more figure makers would make lewd figures of random characters from H-games. Hopefully we see a few more of these figures in the future, especially happy ones like Kotori, even though the CGs from her game were kinda disturbing as hell.
wieselhead
lol you’ve probably looked at the wrong CG’s, some were sooo sweet ❤
The figure is lovely though, I was so happy that they made this figure.
Her lovely face, the petite body, the modest chest and the perfect butt she’s definitely my type.
I would like to see more random characters from such games, VN designs are always beautiful.
