Chie from the Art of Ishikei (NSFW)

Dizzy? Great figure. Junko? Great figure. Saber Alter? Great figure. But as great as those figures are, sometimes a person wants something different. Sometimes a person wants something really special. Sometimes a person wants a porno figure. Okay, Erina was pretty nice but she’s more on the softcore side of things, as far as figures go. Fortunately, Native is always willing to oblige the more explicit side of the hobby. Except for this figure, anyway. And this one. Oh, and this one. Okay, maybe they’re going soft on us, and that’s a bit disappointing coming from a company whose motto is “Naked & Creative,” but beggars can’t be choosers. And fortunately, Ishikei’s Chie is such a nice figure that she more than makes up for any concessions those upcoming figures make.

Chie figure
Native takes inspiration from artwork provided by several well-known artists, particularly Tony Taka. This is their first figure based on the artwork of Ishikei, an artist of exceptional talent. I’ve admired his artwork for a while, as have many people, and I was very happy to see Native adapt one of his works into figure form.

Unlike Native’s earlier figures Shoujo S and Shoujo M, Chie is sculpted in 1/6 scale. She measures about 20 centimeters in length and approximately 12 centimeters in height.

Native produced two versions of Chie; one with just the figure and a more expensive edition that also included a bathtub. I went with the cheaper version; I don’t really have space to display a figure-sized bathtub and I’m not sure what I’d do with it even if I did. I don’t think I’d want to keep it filled with water and a figure lying in an empty tub looks a bit odd. The tub also blocks viewing angles, so I don’t miss it.

Chie comes with a couple pairs of removable panties, which I didn’t bother with. Nobody buys a figure like this to keep panties on it; that’d be like ordering a hot dog and fries at Galatoire’s. She also has a small plastic base and a soft cushion, which she needs for display, since her hair hangs lower than her torso – a nice change from Collet, whose hair was flattened as if it were laying on the ground, except it didn’t actually lay on the ground.

There is no point remarking on Chie’s clothes since aside from the removable panties, she has none. The center of attention is Chie’s body, and justly so since her sculpt is superb. Unlike the prototypical waif-like anime girl, Chie is thick, with meaty thighs, prominent hips, and a humongous ass. It’s an amazing sculpt, one that does the original artwork proud.

Chie also has enormous breasts, and I didn’t actually expect that at all, since Ishikei is very good at drawing smaller busts. I think they eclipse Tamaki’s in proportion and while I thought Tamaki’s breasts were too large, I don’t mind them as much on Chie as they aren’t quite as noticeable. Curiously, her nipples have only faint paintwork. I’m not sure why that is. Anatomical nitpickers might also mention that her breasts ought to be piled on the ground in a big saggy heap. I’m not among them, though; I think they look better this way.

Close up of Chie's anus and genitals
While her nipples may lack detail, one cannot level that accusation at the rest of her body. Chie evinces a finely-sculpted anus and while her finger hides her genitalia, her labia are clearly visible. And glistening. Very nice. The ero elements of this figure are undoubtedly of the highest caliber.

And while the salacious bits are the ones that stand out the most, the rest of her body also shows careful detail. Her hair is finely sculpted; there is no helmet hair here, her tresses writhe beyond her shoulders with intricate craftsmanship. Her hands and feet are also outstanding; it’s very rare to see the bottom of the feet on an anime figure but Chie’s are very convincingly shaped.

Chie’s expression is very attractive, showing a bit of anxiety and perhaps a bit of fear. It provides counterpoint to her fingers, as the way she is spreading herself is anything but apprehensive. This figure is absolutely wanton and yet, her small frown and her curled toes add a hint of innocence to her look.

The president cuddling with Chie
Obviously, I like this figure a great deal. In fact, she’s my favorite figure from Native thus far. It’s regrettable that few companies do full-blown ero figures; Giga Pulse’s quality is rather poor, Okayama Figure Engineering doesn’t look great, and Orchid Seed is more on the softcore side. And while Native also seems to be drifting towards the softcore side with their upcoming releases, at least this figure makes no concessions at all to the constraints of convention. It is a fantastic example of a top-flight manufacturer taking inspiration from an excellent artist and making it into an outstanding figure. Chie is truly one of my favorite figures in my collection.

Okay, so while I was very happy to get Chie, I didn’t even bother taking her base or her underwear out of her box. If you’re curious as to what they look like, you can check out this Japanese-language review, which has more pictures of Chie, of her panties, and also of the box, which is hilariously printed like a box of tissues. And this review shows what the bathtub accessory looks like.

You might be wondering, how does the president take pictures when he is well within the minimum focusing distance of the lens he is using? The better question is, why would anyone think that the mundane laws of physics would apply to the president?

Chie wrapped up by tentacles
It has been brought to my attention that I didn’t include any pictures of Chie wrapped up in the tentacle stand. I’m not sure how I committed that oversight but I have rectified it here. Never say that I don’t come through.
