More under the cut

Here’s the review of Nanako Sakura , from the soon to be release eroge “Sakura Sakura” . This cute 1/8 figure being made by Megahouse , i had little doubt she would be a nice buy so i didn’t hesitate to preorder her . The proto pics were good so how nice is the retail version ? It’s what we’re going to see now .

Standing on her knees , Sakura is depicted with an expression that could be seen like “innocent” or “cute” , but knowing she’s from an eroge , i guess it’s safe saying that she’s more like provocative . When lots of (especialy swimsuit ones) figures are in the same kneeling pose , Sakura is different in the way that her pose feels “alive” , more dynamic and the way her hair is sculpted is sure helping it . And speaking of the hair , it’s surely what stand out the most in this figure , her pink slighty curled hair is looking quite great , giving a nice feeling to an already cute figure .

Megahouse is know to be a solid manufacturer , and all the figures from them are always nicely painted and sculpted , with no apparent flaws , and this Sakura , being in the “Brilliant Stage series” , is a fine exemple of what they can do . The overall look is good , with nice colors and the painting is nicely done , with shading on her hair , legs and clothes . One or two little dots of paint can be found at some parts but you have to be really near to see them .

So Sakura is a nice looking figure and people at Megahouse did a fine job , she does look like her 2D rendition and her provocative yet cute face is sure to charm lots of people . The only part than maybe going to stop some is the mouth , the way it is painted looks maybe a little strange . But it’s a minor grip and i’m fine with it . The cast off option is not really needed , and doesn’t add anything to the figure .

(The limited edition named “Platonic Side” is the one to get if you want to see more of Sakura and the mouth on this one seems nicer . I’ll be buying the Platonic Side version maybe soon , so stay tune for another review)

Overall a nice figure to add to any collection . Sakura is maybe my favorite girl from an eroge , love her design so i’m glad to have her .

8/10
