Super Sonico Figure Review
Many figure collectors have already become acquainted with Sonico but for those who have no idea who this character is, she is the mascot of noted H-game maker Nitroplus. Initially she was just something of a cute face that occasionally made appearances in artwork and on their website, but over the last year or two she’s become a full-fledged character in her own right.

Native needs no introduction to figure collectors either, but for those not familiar with them they are a maker of ero figures of the highest caliber. They are affiliated with Max Factory, or at least they were when they started; I’m not sure if they still are, though I have no reason to assume not. Their corporate websites list different locations for their respective headquarters, for what that’s worth.

In keeping with their style, Sonico comes with a bevy of accessories. Foremost is the bathtub that also serves as her stand. She has several bathtub toys, including the classic rubber ducky, and some little plastic pieces of shower foam to adorn her body. Finally, she comes with a couple of things that can cover up her breasts, making at least a pretense of decency. I don’t think anyone buys a Native figure with the expectation of getting something chaste but for those who prefer her with at least a modicum of modesty, the option is there. No such option is provided to hide her ass, however.

Super Sonico Figure Review
Sonico is about 23.5 centimeters tall, not counting the bathtub. She’s listed as 1/6 scale, and that seems about right. In relative terms, however, she’s a huge figure; her robust body build and large head give her the appearance of being far larger than most other 1/6 scale figures – though admittedly, figure makers seem to rarely get scale factors right.

Sonico is, obviously, quite naked and so the amount of detail provided in her sculpt is necessarily limited by the lack of opportunities to provide such. An alternate cue is thus required to command the viewer’s attention, and, also obviously, Sonico offers one – or more precisely, two – hanging over her left arm. Sonico was designed from the start as a buxom girl and her chestiness here is perhaps more apparent here than on any of her other figures. It’s one of her major selling points and in that respect, she does not disappoint in the least.

Nitroplus has made efforts to establish a personality for their mascot, and Sonico is conventionally depicted as an energetic and upbeat girl. You wouldn’t guess that by looking at this figure though – nor indeed, by looking at most of her other figures. Curiously, most figure makers enjoy making her look shy or discomfited – as in Orchid Seed’s bondage version of her – or placing her in compromising situations, like in the Gift figure that came out a few months ago. I also have her Yamato baby doll figure – whose review has been pending for over a year – which has her being accosted by cats. None of them are smiling and neither is this one – though admittedly, being that she’s nude and stepping into the tub, she’s got good reason to look embarrassed.

Also curious is the degree of explicitness afforded by this figure. She’s got a removable towel – seen up in the first picture – that preserves her dignity. That’s not the only thing covering her up, though – apparently she’s also protected by an unexpected sense of daintiness on the part of either Native or Nitroplus. While Native has never had much of an issue producing fully explicit figures, Sonico’s naughty orifices are concealed by a patch of foam conveniently – or inconveniently – placed between her legs. Presumably Nitroplus didn’t want their spokesperson showing everything off. I guess I’m not too bothered by that since you can see virtually everything anyway, but their reserve is a bit surprising, being that Nitroplus has made some really raunchy rape games. They’re also making a Guilty Crown visual novel, which would be much better off as a rape game.

Sonico’s castoff method is a bit atypical; her left arm pulls off laterally, away from sockets in her body, rather than detaching from her upper arm. Her head doesn’t come off so some care needs to be taken not to mess up her hair, but her pink locks are fairly elastic.

Sonico’s design eschews the common anime waif physique and instead presents her as very curvy, thin-waisted but still very sturdily built. I like her design a lot; many anime artists draw full-figured women with tiny heads and impossibly enormous breasts, but Sonico’s bust is very appealing and her head size is about right for her body.

Unsurprisingly, Sonico has a very large backside.

Though when viewed directly, it looks a bit like each cheek is fusing together. It’s a little bit disappointing since Hotori Yoshii has a spectacular rump.

She definitely has a very meaty body; her leg looks like a really big chicken wing. Viewed from the front – probably the most typical viewing angle – the melding between her upper and lower leg isn’t quite so apparent.

That’s kind of a big scratch on her thigh there. And is it me, or does the lower part of her thigh have a bit of a grainy look to it? Macro lenses really are not friendly to figures. Hopefully this doesn’t send people scurrying over to their shelves to check out their Native figures for scratches.

Sonico wouldn’t be Sonico without her headphones – even when she’s heading into the bathtub. Her headphones are rendered very well and their inclusion adds a humorous touch to her shy look.

She comes with these tub toys, which can be arrayed around and within her domain. I know I’m going to lose them if I leave them out so I put them back in the box; other than the duck, they don’t stand up very well, anyway. Personally, I think it would’ve been both cooler and cuter if they had modeled the ducky on the giant Osaka rubber duck.

Finally, a metal rod and plastic strut are provided to keep Sonico upright; she can stand unaided with her left leg attached to her base, but this is a really hefty figure and using the additional brace is probably a smart idea.

As Sonico storms the figure world, some people dance in the rain and others get their umbrellas. I wouldn’t blame anyone who would rather not see another Sonico figure – I feel the same way about certain characters (and certain types of figures). And while I expect that this will be my last Sonico figure for a while, I would not number myself among those who are tired of seeing her figures; she’s really cute, busty, and she often gets interesting figures. I think this one is my favorite one of her, thus far – no surprise since Native is one of my favorite manufacturers.

Technically, there's nothing wrong about the uploads, it's just that in a way they aren't fit for the site.

To quote someone from the forums:
"Anything that does not fit with the theme of the site (e.g. memes, photos of real places/objects, etc.)

If the gallery is just the offical marketing images of a sfw figure then for sure, it falls into that forbidden reason. Especially if it's an ad.

If the images are user generated, or of a h figure, then i can see it being allowed, and no longer falling into there."

If you like to upload tbese, it would be best if you took pictures of the items that you've bought and post it here. It may be considered allowed and not covered as forbidden.
