Knit Bunny Girl in Detail
This time I’m unboxing Hobby Sakura’s Knit Bunny Girl illustration by CheLA77, a 1/6-scale PU figure about 300 mm tall including the base. The sculpt is by Hobby Sakura, and the character comes from illustrator CheLA77.
CheLA77 is an illustrator with close to 500,000 followers on X. Their pixiv gallery is mostly fan art of titles such as Blue Archive, Fate/Grand Order, Genshin Impact and Chainsaw Man, typically featuring curvaceous women in close-fitting outfits like black tights and competition swimsuits.
Hobby Sakura is a Chinese figure maker. Alongside licensed figures from games like Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, Wuthering Waves and Brown Dust 2, it produces plenty of original characters based on illustrators’ artwork; this site has covered ye_jji’s two bunnies, Mari and Posa. Officer Bunny, which I reviewed earlier, comes from the same maker and is likewise a PU statue-style figure. Pre-orders for this one opened in January 2026 with shipping planned for September. She shipped on schedule in China on September 29, but was delayed again everywhere else, and Japanese retailers currently expect to ship in November.

Review
She stands on the base with her feet together and her hands resting on her chest, head tilted slightly with a smile. Over a metallic blue bunny suit she wears a pink knit cardigan slipping off her shoulders, with two light-blue ribbons trailing from the cuffs and ending in yarn pompoms. Her legs are in white stockings with a diamond pattern, and her high heels are trimmed with pink bows. From the full bust through the narrow waist to the rounded hips, the figure is sensual without being revealing. That may partly be because Hobby Sakura is a Chinese manufacturer, and local regulations restrict the sale of figures with nudity.
The sculpted detail and paintwork are up to the high standard of Hobby Sakura’s PU line. The pink eyes have distinct layers of colour and clear highlights, the cheeks are lightly flushed, and the hair fades from pinkish purple to light blue. The face is angle-dependent, though: it doesn’t hold up equally from every direction, but from the right angle it’s lovely.
The knit cardigan is the most impressive part of the figure. Both the cable-knit pattern and the blue stripes are sculpted in relief, and from a little distance it looks almost like a real sweater. The heels are painted in a glittery metallic blue that sparkles under the light.
As with Officer Bunny, the palette stays within pink, lavender and light blue, perhaps relying heavily on similar shades to make painting easier. Even so, the colours work together beautifully, and the details haven’t been skimped on as a result: even the nails are painted in several different polish colours.
The head, body and chest piece are separate components. The base is PU this time, a pink disc in the same shade as the cardigan. It’s compact, good-looking and very stable.
The things to weigh up are mostly structural. The chest piece isn’t fully secured and can fall off if the figure is tilted, so take particular care when moving her.
PU is a brittle material to begin with, and at this modest scale, small or dangling parts break easily. When mine arrived, the bow on one of the shoes had already snapped off, and the manufacturer hasn’t yet given a concrete timeline for replacements, so it’s worth bearing in mind before you buy.
Verdict
A knit texture that passes for the real thing at a distance, finely painted facial features, glittery heels and multi-coloured paintwork that extends right down to the nails once again show the craftsmanship of Hobby Sakura’s statue line. The compact, stable PU base also makes her easier to display, and fixes the problem of the figure rotating on its base that I had with Officer Bunny.
On the other hand, the loose chest piece and the fragile small details are things to consider before buying.
I’d recommend her to anyone who collects PU figures. Hobby Sakura’s figures are relatively affordable and well made, and while PU is structurally more brittle, it’s less prone than PVC to warping from temperature and other factors over years on display, which makes it a good choice for collectors who mainly display figures in a cabinet. If you move your figures around often, or are particularly worried about damage in transit, it’s worth thinking it over before you buy.
