Sophia F. Shirring High-cut Swimsuit ver. in Detail
This time I’m unboxing AmiAmi x AMAKUNI’s Sophia F. Shirring High-cut Swimsuit ver., a 1/6-scale figure standing about 270 mm tall. She was sculpted by Takaboku Busujima (Busujimax) and painted by Getsuryu, from a character design by illustrator Nadare Takamine.
Sophia is the lead of Takamine’s original project, BUNNY SUIT PLANNING. She stands around 160 cm, and her favourite things are the NIBOSI mascot and strawberry shortcake. Once a well-known explorer, she has stepped back from the front line to work the exploration desk at the Guild’s Branch 11, supporting other explorers while doubling as a tester for the Guild’s publicity and in-house gear. That premise gives her every excuse to try on a new outfit — bunny, nun, ninja, cowgirl — and she has been turned into figures by more makers than anyone could count; this site alone has covered nearly ten of them.
The high-cut swimsuit was designed by Takamine specifically for this release. Blue piping traces the outline of a white one-piece, cut boldly high at the hips, paired with turquoise arm and leg bands, while the buckles are picked out in metallic paint.

Review
The sculpt and paint live up to AMAKUNI’s usual standard of care. The bold, clean-lined swimsuit shows off everything about Sophia’s figure: the full bust, the high cut slicing up toward the hips, and the rounded curve of her backside.
The skin has a matte finish while the swimsuit is a glossy, patent-leather look, and the two surfaces play off each other. Her generous sideboob wraps from the side toward the back, so she loses nothing when viewed from behind.
The build is simple and assembly is very easy. The base matches the style of the other BUNNY SUIT PLANNING figures, a thoughtful touch for anyone collecting several Sophias and displaying them side by side. The box is also quite compact, which makes it easy to store.
The points to weigh are mainly the skin tone and the face. Compared with the painted prototype, the production skin has lost its flush and much of its shading; combined with how pale the base tone already is, and set against a white swimsuit, the figure as a whole ends up looking a little lifeless.
The face reads as flat and wide, with fairly simple detailing and a somewhat stiff expression. Much of the discussion online agrees that the face is where the production figure differs most from the painted prototype.
Verdict
This figure’s strongest case is AMAKUNI’s dependable craftsmanship and Sophia’s striking figure. She holds up from the front and from behind, assembly is easy and the box is small, so she asks very little of you once she’s home.
On the other hand, the pale skin that lacks flush and shading, together with the flat face, opens a real gap between her and the painted prototype — something to consider before buying.
I’d recommend her to anyone who loves Sophia, and she looks all the more cohesive next to the rest of the series. If you’re not particularly attached to the character, though, her appeal may be more limited.
