Review
This is a large figure. The box measures W370 mm × D240 mm × H300 mm and feels substantial before it is even opened. The figure stands about 350 mm tall, and the two outstretched pom-poms mean that she takes up more shelf space than the height alone might suggest.
Changing the outfit takes some patience, and the parts have to come off in a particular order. The right arm must be removed before the top, while removing the skirt requires taking off the upper body and tail first. I could not get both sides of the top to fasten at the same time, despite several attempts. I cannot tell whether this is an issue with my copy or with the design, but it is the reason none of the photos show the top in place. Each face is molded together with the neck, so changing expressions means removing the entire head. The open-mouthed smile is especially tight when fitting it back onto the body, and the tail also needs a firm push to seat fully.
There are a few fit issues to be aware of. The right leg sits very loosely in the standard underwear body and can fall out with a light touch; on the nude replacement body it stays put. The left leg and the neck of the swapped face have the opposite kind of problem — both hold securely, but neither seam ever closes flush. A noticeable mold line also remains across the bend of the right knee.
The paintwork is one of the figure’s strongest points. Both faces look good, with clean eye and lip printing, no visible bleeding or misalignment, and softly applied blush across the cheeks. The hair is divided into fine strands and ends in sharp, clean tips. Because it sweeps so far behind the figure, the rear view has plenty to look at as well. Most of the skin has a matte finish, while the nipples, crotch, underarms, areolae and backside have small areas of gloss. This matches the finish of the underwear and adds some variation when the light catches it. The nipples and intimate areas are fully sculpted, and the chest has been shaped to suit the movement of the pose.
The grass-style base suits the cheerleading theme and looks good on its own. Unfortunately, the green flocking comes away very easily when touched, so it is best to handle the base as little as possible. A support rod is included for the right leg. The figure can stand on one leg without it, but given the pose and weight, I would use the rod for long-term display.
Verdict
For 29,700 yen you get a 350 mm figure with clean face printing, a carefully varied skin finish and a second body to display her with. Assembly is where she frustrates: the top would not close on my copy, the right leg drops out of the standard body, and several parts take more force than I expected. None of that follows her onto the shelf, though — once she is together and standing, the remaining flaws are the kind you have to go looking for. I would recommend her to anyone who collects animal-ear or cheerleader characters and is happy to settle on one display state rather than swapping between them.
