Super Soniko

Orchid Seed Super Sonico finds her perfect Yuri partner and immediately proceeds in some TBSDA (Tissue Bra Symmetrical Docking Action (pronounced "Teebs-dah")) with Nanael.

If this was made by GSC or MAX or Alter, the quality would probably be much better. With the current figure making technology, the joins can be rubbed out but Orchid Seed left the seams in believing that the arms just had to come off to remove the apron - the apron could have easily been made to be removable without pulling the arms off.
The pupils are not as nicely pained as the decoration master either. The skin also feels like top coat has been sprayed on. While all figures get the top coat treatment, you don't really notice it with GSC/MAX/Alter or Kotobukiya products.
While there are some issues, she still is a nice figure to have.

If you want to see the cast off pics with bukkake, then get along to Asumanga. You will notice that some of her left pupil has rubbed off. If you are going to buy this figure then I suggest placing a film of plastic or something over her pupils or they would probably rub off onto the inside of the apron.
Thanks to comrades at HobbyLink Japan for the sample.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

would've looked better with out the joint lines, but I don't think many people will leave her in the nude all the time so it probably doesn't matter really much

So more nays than "eyes" when it comes to approving the PVC, Danny?
Quite honestly, if it came out in 2007, I'd probably say it looks good. But seeing improvement in quality and such, they could have found a way to make it look natural and be inventive with how to put the apron on.
But yeah... Looks like another one I am going to skip. (I already have Anime Expo 2009 saved up for, and hope to get lucky finding anything I might want there.)

Like Ninja Poe Bear, I thought Sonico looked really great when she was first announced. But looking at the pictures now, the elbow part is really...... I still think the face is extremely nice though ;D

She actually looks better from the head up!

Forgiving the shoulder seams, I actually quite like how she turned out. Wonder why that is...
Oh yeah, she was free! Booyah!!

I remember you winning her - heck, my first thought when reading "Super Soniko" was to associate it with you - but I can't seem to recall which contest that was.

That was around the time Danny got his Lumix LX3 which was the question for 2nd round. The first round was when we had to count how many figures he had in the picture. Then I lost the final round...

I'd rather the Nanael figure. Been wanting her more since watching the first episode of Queen's Blade, though I think I'll wait and see if a Revoltech gets announced.
no i think soniko is better

I just got my Nanael yesterday thanks to danny. I would like to find a docking partner for her but I'm not a huge fan of Orchid seed figures. Like you said, they dont put a lot of time into planning the figure for the best appearance.
<3 Nanael!

Mmmmm TBSDA, aside from the arms it's loooking really yummy =3

man so they made a complete mess of the figure? good thing i didn't order her. The shoulder seams are a real big minus. Plus paint rubbing off = flakes in hot summer season here, most probably the paint will come off and the skin will look blemished. For the price they are asking i expected a good job of the figure.

I left her apron on to hide the seam lines, but I had no clue how to remove her pantsu for the true hadaka apron effect. i think the way was to push her pantsu up over her eyes but it was tight under her eyes, didn't want to force it up.

how much would these figures cost?

The contrast between Worried Face and Happy Face really gave that added omph to Tissue Bra Symmetrical Docking. Oh wait, I got it the other way around...
???Confused???
Despite the arms with the seams I'd still get it...too bad about the apron rubbing off on the pupils as well...

Whew it's a good thing that I cancelled my preorder of her. The final product is not that really impressive...
