More under the cut

Another girl from an eroge, the cute Sora from the game “Yosuga no Sora”. She is quite a hard figure to review. She looks quite simple and not colorful at all. And that’s a problem, as i know lots of people didn’t order her because of that. And she doesn’t looks too good in pictures.

Don’t take me wrong, i love the way she looks, but compared to all the colorful figures we’re getting lately (and i’m not even speaking of the dynamic poses and great bases), she will look boring to some, too simple to others. But for me, that’s what i like about her. I love the more realistic colors, the nice proportions of her body (more realistic too), her cute shy expression, and the melancolic feeling i get just looking at her. And i love her legs, because for once, we get a figures with knees, yes, detailed knees, at least way more than usual. As i’m a legs lover, i’m quite grateful for that ^_^.

Sora looks great and her body is nicely sculpted and proportioned, she has a cute face and it’s even better with her towel (nicely done too). Her shyness and the way she’s trying to envelopp herself with her towel are totally cute. Her hair is nicely painted too with no paint dots or anything. Overall the paint job is fine, not as good as, let’s say Alter, but it’s still nice. And don’t forget the rabbit, totally cute too.

Good work from Megahouse but nothing spectacular either. it’s Megahouse so it is exactly as expected, never worth, never better.

A melancolic shy cute and delicious looking girl named Sora is waiting for you. Maybe you should pick her. She is worth it, i promise you.

Sora is getting four Exelica out of five.

This last pic is to show you exactly the way the figure is. What you see is what you get.

For more pics, check the review at Happy Soda, a beautiful review at Tentacle Armada and another great review (with “wet” pics ^^) at Visual Fanfare. Sora review is up at Shadonia too.

Next review will be Noumi from Alter, a big surprise for me as i wasn’t expecting too much. I should have. More soon.

    Oh no >.< I feel I want to buy it :x
    I am surprised MH produces figures that come from eroges (most of times, it is about POP, Bleach, etc)… I am also surprised it is successful 'cause it's sold out everywhere (yeah \o/) I'll be patient 'cause I think MH will rerelease her.
    Shapes around the thoracic cage, the knees are highlighted with the painting, that's one of the things I like. You choosed nice colors for the backgrounds for the photos ;)
    By the way how is the nail polish? :P

  2. Comment by Leonia:

    Elle est vraiment trop adorable. Niveau sculpture, elle n’a certes rien d’extraordinaire (aucune surprise), mais je la trouve tout simplement adorable ! J’aime beaucoup et je craque devant son visage et son expression. Mon exemplaire est enfin parti du Japon ce matin. Il va donc me falloir patienter encore deux bonnes semaines. Ca va être dur.

    PS : Appelle moi :P

    She looks good but plain as you say. The pose is nice though, don’t see a pose where the figure looks like she’s in a boxing tournament lol. I actually like the bunny more than the figure lol. The bunny looks cute with the ears bent and the little bow tie on its neck.

    She’s beautiful ! Totally my style, simple but so erotic. I love her body curves and her hairs.
    Her lovely buttocks made me bleed out liters of blood.
    I want her on my desk in front of me :) Thanks for highlighting this one to us.

    Beautiful photos! Very well-controlled lighting required for this figure and I think you did it, best photos of Sora among many reviews.

  8. Comment by kyn:

    elle est vraiment adorable y a pas ^__^ j’avais hésité et au final, non (comme beaucoup d’ailleurs) elle a un visage tout mignon et avec le petit lapin, ça la rend encore plus attachante ^^
    niveau figurine, la qualité a l’air de bonne facture :)
    j’adore la dernière photo :love:

    James Reply:

    je n’ai jamais hésité a la préco, je savais que la photo du proto était ratée (comme souvent chez Megahouse) donc je n’ai jamais douté de la qualité de la fig finale.

    Achete achete ! ^^

    “As i’m a legs lover, i’m quite grateful for that ^_^”

    A fetish for sexy legs huh. I didn’t know that. ;)
    Indeed the colours are kinda dull. Looks like the colours of her two-piece is to match the colours of her hair which, in sense seems to be a more natural choice in colour preference.
    I’m a fan of bright coloured swimsuit figures so she was a miss for me. :)

    Not my kinda character ^^;;;
    Theres nothingw rong with a plain character from time to time since not everybody can be all colourful and impressing.I prefer an accurate depiction of a character over an out of character one

    Oh I see. Btw, sir. About Sora’s box, doesn’t it really have a sticker of any kind too??
