We’re not yet done with Blonde Bikini Girl Week – or Month, or Season – but I received this figure the other week; quite unexpectedly, as I usually group all of my figures into one shipment for the end of each month but I suppose I forgot to do so in this case, and since Matsuri arrived early, I thought I’d go ahead and take some pictures of her. She’s neither blonde nor wearing a bikini, but she definitely is not without her own unique charms.
This figure is based off of an illustration drawn by Kurehito Misaki, a well-known anime artist, particularly amongst those who enjoy viewing certain pornographic anime periodicals, for which he often does cover art. He’s also done mainstream work, such as designing Alicia, the nominal lead girl of Queen’s Blade Grimoire, as well as drawing the main characters of the light novel Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata, which recently received a mediocre anime adaptation. Figure collectors might remember the MegaHouse figure of Alicia – which I never even removed from its box, now that I think about it – as well as Native’s figure of a catgirl lapping up milk or somesuch.
Rather than being by Native, this figure is by Alphamax via their SkyTube brand. It’s reminiscent of a Native figure, though; for one, Matsuri is relatively large, being sculpted in 1/6 scale and measuring about 16 centimeters in height. Furthermore, like many Native figures, she comes with a variety of display options, including two faces, removable clothing, and one particularly unique component that we will look at shortly. The figure also comes with a couple of postcards showing the artwork that this figure is based off of; comically, they actually do have markings for a postage stamp and an address, so I suppose they could actually be used for correspondence, assuming the post office doesn’t instead hand the card off to the police.
Kurehito Misaki is well-known for his ero work, but his art always seems to have a touch of refinement, and that aspect is mirrored in this figure; Matsuri’s clothing is quite elegant, comprising a striking black and gold qipao and fishnet stockings. I’m not much of a fan of her hairstyle – the Chun Li and Princess Leia-style buns don’t do much for me – but they do emphasize the Chinese motif and they give this figure an impression of formality.
That impression is, of course, completely at odds with her entirely indelicate pose, in which she’s squatting down, one hand drawing attention to her bare buttocks while she furtively glances back. The conflict between dignity and lewdness is itself quite attractive, but it also means that there’s a limited range of good viewing angles. Fortunately, that angle does accomplish the trifecta of allowing the viewer to simultaneously examine her face, breasts, and ass all at once.
Matsuri comes with a bevy of swappable parts, and they both fit reasonably well and are easy to detach and replace, which is a somewhat uncommon thing. An instruction sheet is also provided to show how she is to be disassembled and put back together. Her face is removed in a fairly typical manner; her bangs come off, and then her face can be removed as well. Presumably, this face is the standard one, though it’s not actually the one that was originally fitted to the figure in the box. It shows her exhibiting a sense of embarrassment and discomfort, which is quite understandable.
As it turns out, her panties are a removable part that is simply held in place by friction when her body halves are joined together. When you remove them, you get to see this. Believe it or not, this is her “standard” lower body.
With her panties removed, her dress hides enough to make this figure just slightly less pornographic, though maybe I’m just jaded in that respect. Hilariously, her base has a mirrored top surface so that her crotch and anus will always be viewable if her panties are taken off.
Looking upwards, she has a very impressive rack. It’s entirely unrealistic in how her breasts appear to be self-supporting, but they are still very nice to look at.
This is her alternate face, which is the one that my figure was actually packaged with. Her look is considerably more anguished, as if she were in immediate distress. What could prompt this sort of look?
This is a good time to mention that she two sets of lower body parts; each part contains her upper thighs and lower torso. We’ve looked at one, and the other one looks like … well, it looks like this.
I mean, this is amongst the raunchiest, most pornographic things I’ve ever seen on an anime figure – and I’ve seen a lot of anime figures. Why is her vagina quite so distended? So that this can be placed within it:
Matsuri comes with this helpful accessory, which requires no further explanation.
Taking a closer look, one has to admire the loving detail in which this part was sculpted. For anyone who has a thing for birth canals – and I have to imagine that there are people who do dig this sort of thing – Matsuri is definitely the figure for you.
It takes a little bit of work to get her sex toy properly emplaced but once it is, this figure’s eroticism quotient goes from merely suggestive to blatantly sexual; there aren’t too many figures like this, much less ones you can buy from any hobby shop. The forthrightness of this figure’s pornographic nature is as refreshing as it is stunning; one really doesn’t expect such a nice-looking, elegantly-dressed girl like this to be on the receiving end of a dildo as large as her forearm.
But that’s not all! Her chest part is also detachable; she’s got two bust options, one covered by her dress and one not. Again, the process is quite simple and the effect is transparent, with little indication that this part can in fact be removed.
Suffice to say that this is an exceptional figure in so many ways. Obviously it’s highly sexualized and Matsuri is a beautiful character, but the quality of workmanship is also very high; there’s nothing that I can think to criticize (well, aside from some paint transfer incurred while I was swapping parts, but I doubt many people will be disassembling her as much as I was while taking these pictures). This is a fantastic figure, one that ranks amongst the best ero figures out there.
Ah it’s good to see that she turned out beautiful, much more as I expected and I already expected something pretty. The face(s) are beautiful, I really like these eyes with the blush, I like the closed mouth a little more.
I really like concept of her design, the character, the outfit… ok I have a strong dislike for dildo’s.
Since the “ultra lewdness” was only optional I thought about ordering this pretty lady, but I did not. The monster dildo is shocking, truly shocking, as much as the hole it creates XD
With more perverted intention, they could have probably pushed it in her butt as well.
Anyway she looks amazing in her dress, the golden flower pattern on the dark chinese dress are making it look gorgeous, though pose and the figure are still raunchy to a high degree.
My theory about her high boobs is, that her remaining dress grabs under her boobs and pushes her underboob upwards ;D
I also like her shoulders and back like in matsuri-tougetsu-26, so pretty ♡(.◜ωâ—.)♡
She really did turn out nice; SkyTube’s stuff definitely can be on par with Native or Alter or anybody else, which is pretty impressive considering that Alphamax kind of came out of nowhere a couple of years back.
I have to admit that I didn’t pay a ton of attention to the dildo, although I knew it was there, and I hadn’t considered how it was supposed to stay in place. I was really surprised when I saw just how big the, uhh, hole is. But if you don’t like the dildo, you can leave it out, and still display her with the giant distension XD An anal insertion would’ve really been neat but that might’ve been a step too far, even for SkyTube.
I really wish they’d do something like this to a figure I’d like. It’d be nice to have both a ‘safe’ figure and a pornographic figure all in one. Most of these sorts are just pornographic outright and while that’s fun, it’s just not the same.
It would! Yeah, one of the neatest things about this figure is how the pornographic aspects can be hidden from casual view, but still be discernible from a closer look.
Hello friend, first of all this I want to thank you very much for making you this great contribution of your Stock figures, but I want to ask you something that I hope is not minded if I ask this, not if you will have this figure but in version Naked, I wish that me share Naked, she may sound a little bad comment, but do not be so kind as to share that figure on this page or give me some download page [1st Nanoha version Swuimit in Nude].

Thank hope not bother with my answer 🙁
I don’t think there’s an “official” naked figure of her. There was once a defunct site in yahoo auction where the owner “modded” certain figures and auctioned them off.
Well if you had seen a product where that figure in version containing bare, here an image, which is not, if the creator buy esque figure in naked version. 😮
Here a test of her naked figure.

🙁
That is just a custom made, you can not buy.
That might might be the new site of the guy who does the “customs”. Yahoo Japan must have been “pressured” to crack down on him by (I suspect) Toei who produces One Piece …………another long story
ah I see, well then one could say that is a shame for me not to see at least a figure so Nanoha, was my favorite 🙁
Thank you for your opinion friend.
From what I see on that page http://makai-doki.cutegirl.jp/ there is an obvious “AUCTION” link. This indeed takes you to Yahoo Japan Auctions, however, to view the items themselves, it requires an ID check. I’m not at all familiar with YJA, so I don’t know how how this works. I imagine that a proxy service could perhaps help to overcome this.
The bottom right of the six links is an email address, you could try your luck and contact them directly. But chances are that they won’t even bother to reply to requests from outside of Japan.
Yeah, that Nanoha figure is modified by a talented and clever person. I own a different figure which has been modified the same way.
I’d sell an arm to be able to own one of these (not the China or Thai KOs)
Fantastic.Haven’t yet unpacked mine but after seeing those images I’m glad I ordered this one.
It’s definitely a great figure. And even better, it doesn’t take up a lot of space since her pose is compact and the base is only as large as it needs to be. I’ve got a few 1/4 scale figures here that I’d like to unbox but I simply have no room to display them right now (though maybe this weekend I’ll go to Lowe’s and pick up some particle board to build some shelves to make more space).
ooh! so you got yours first, eh? Mine is still in transit and I was debating whether or not to review it.
Guess I don’t need to now, right? Still, I’m really impressed with how the ero figs have improved so much in a relatively short space of time. There are a fair few out there which I think are better than 90% of mainstream releases these days
You should still go ahead! The world definitely needs more reviews. Yeah, that’s one of the things I’m still a little surprised by; it doesn’t seem so long ago that companies were struggling with poorly-done castoff systems. Matsuri would be a top-tier figure even if her dress and panties were fixed in place, but the fact that they’re removable is really impressive (as is the casualness with which this sort of figure is produced; I still remember when a topless anime figure was a scandalous thing).
I just paid for her a few days ago i had combined her with another figure, I can’t wait to have her she looks stunning. To be honest I’m not a big fan of that head tilt it’s like you mentioned doesn’t leave much room for many viewing angles, her dress is really good and the mirror base touch is nice. When it comes to the structure of her lower peivate area i have seen many figures that come with that distinguished hollowed out hole lol mostly in okayama and giga pulse figures i know you are not a fan of both makers I’m not really so crazy about most of their figure but every now and then they do something good. Matsuri is gorgeous i was happy to see she was made by alphamax or it’s just something about me whenever i see the word skytube i know the figure has potential to be good… She’s not drawn by tony too lol! Seems like skytube mainly focus on the tony art. I ordered matsuri with her character plate though i never had one before so I’m kinda curious what these things are. Removable breast parts are common among these figures though the only one i have with this feature is eliza from dragon toy, looking at matsuris breast it does kinda seem odd proportion wise and i like what you said about the dildo being as big as her forearm haha that was funny and painfully true yet another proportion wise goof. Overall this figure is gorgeous not too raunchy and sexual and not too over cute, she’s a good combination of graceful sexiness and her outfit certainly compliments that, i will proudly display when she finally arrives at my door step 🙂
Haha, yeah; there have actually been a couple of Okayama figures that I was interested in. And yeah, while I like SkyTube’s Tony stuff, it’s great to see them producing stuff made by some other well-known ero artists (like Kizuki Aruchu and such). But man, I dunno if I’d call her not too raunchy XD Okay, yeah, compared to say, an Okayama figure, maybe not, and maybe not even compared to SkyTube’s other upcoming Kurehito Misaki, with the sculpted semen – yeah, I guess it’s not quite as explicit as those.
Her pose though reminds me of imari kurumi made by daiki, another figure i wish i had gotten i still beat myself up for not getting. I love the new box style they are making it’s very cute and lately I’ve been interested more and more in skytube figures they seem to be increasing the level of explicitness but maintaining their cute style with flowing hairs and sweet big eyes.
Mine is still at the post office for pick up. So to clear things up, she was designed by QB Alicie/Alicia’s creator? No wonder there was something familiar.
But the shocker is………………………wow! What a big mouth she has! Another home run Skytube! Raunchy is the least word my mind is thinking off! Andddddddd, that was a fast photoshoot Tier! Excellent as always!
Haha, yeah; I really wanted to get this one done quicker but I have been incredibly lazy this whole summer and to top it off, work was really busy these last couple of weeks. But hopefully I’ll get back to reviewing all those blonde bikini girls and that one tentacle rape figure from Lechery I got the other week.
Just openned her up (pardon the pun). Her face design, expression of vulnerability and the other “details”……ero level is going off the roof! Her happy spot even has the shinny wetness effect you’d come to expect. Yum!
And wtfrack?! I also missed the chance to score the HobbyJapan Momohime, just by one day. Same issues with prioritizing the rent. Once I got my finance balanced, she was sold out! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!
I recall her preorder going up, and while she certainly drew my attention it was a relatively easy pass due to lack of funds. I know now that rent paid on time is an overrated goal. But on a more serious note, I’ve been trying to cut back on figures who (while gorgeous) don’t really fall in with any motif in my collection.
I am going to have to reconsider that after seeing these photos. My God, the level of detail sky tube incorporates into most of their figures these days is so impressive; but, the fact that they made her anus ever so lightly ajar in the second lower body option truly is incredible.
My praise here may be telling, but my modesty is running pretty thin these days. What with all the great ero figures that have been flooding the market so recently. Also, your words on birth canals do resonate on some level. While not a particular fetish of mine, and certainly not viewable with the dildo in place. The simple knowledge that it is there is somehow in some way pleasing.
I’ve kinda found myself passing on more figures that I would’ve instantly bought a couple of years ago. Like I forgot to order the Hobby Japan Momohime and Hestia figures; I might still look around for them on Mandarake after they are released but I don’t feel too badly about missing out on them. (On the other hand, I was recently trying to think of which figures I could sell to cut down my collection a bit; I had kinda hoped that maybe I could part with 30 or so out of the 300+ I own, but I can’t muster the will to part with even twenty).
The novelty of this figure is certainly part of its appeal, at least to me. I wonder if this level of graphicness will become blase amongst anime figures in a few years?
She looks great, I thought the “Erotic parts” is the default with no further option when first seeing her open for order, and for details at least the asshole is there ^^ seen many manufacturer make vaginal detail but seems skip the asshole XD
Indeed it is! We have come such a long way since such a thing was so rare. Who would’ve ever thought that it would be Alphamax that would be pushing the bounds of decency with respect to anime figures?
Whoa! O_O! the alternate lower half certainly surprised me O_O SKytube definitely giving Native a run for their money (which is good XD)
Absolutely a good thing, particularly since they seem to be entirely willing to go all-in on certain things that even Native doesn’t do. It’s even more surprising that SkyTube’s stuff can just be ordered from Hobby Search or Amiami or wherever, unlike so many R-18 anime goods.
Oh wow that’s very detailed lady parts. I never really think carefully how the pink toy is supposed to get attached and why they made the legs detachable but now everything explains itself.
I got mine too but haven’t got a chance to unbox yet. Given the very private content in there I agree it’s very caring of Skytube to use fully concealed box so the customers don’t worry about getting other people scared if the have to carry it back home themselves from the shop
Skytube also got a bunch of good stuff shown on the recent Wonder Fes but I haven’t seen a lot reports with high res pictures of them. I’m wondering if it’s because they got in the age restricted area and not very many people bother to take a detailed look.
That could be the case. I remember seeing a lot of stuff from Alphamax that I liked, and I’m sure the SkyTube stuff will look really good as well. (And since I’ve posted this review I’ve gotten the Beast Cover Girl [what a title]; it’s going to be all Alphamax, all the time here at this rate.)
If you should happen to purchase Native’s Nurse Momoi, I would consider it a personal favor if you put the lovely Matsuri in the examination chair. Unless they simply aren’t compatible, there could be some real potential for some great shots with her… ahem, overly dilated vagina… cough, tentacle stand… cough..
Ha, that’s a good idea, if she can fit. Yeah, I ordered Momoi, and I think I ordered the deluxe version with the chair. Hopefully it’s good for some prop shots.
This is actually a really great figure even when not factoring in the optional parts. I really regret not preordering her now as I hadn’t expected her to sell out nearly instantly. So much for holding out for a solid review first. Thankfully the included “first-run” postcards imply that she’ll be available again so long as I notice it.
I’m glad you went into some detail as to the part changes; I just couldn’t figure out how such form fitting clothes wouldn’t end up bulky and obviously cast-offable but it all makes sense now. Although its more expensive to implemented, swappable-parts offer figure companies a lot more creative freedom than the usual cast-off style. It seems that some of the woefully over-limited Bikini Warrior figure offerings are going this route but making the alternate parts available in a DX version.
I’m really impressed by how well the castoff system is implemented here; I tend to despair when I open up figures with lots of parts, since it sometimes takes me nearly an hour just to get a figure ready for photographing. Daiki Kougyou and MegaHouse figures tend to be particularly annoying in this respect.
Yeah, I’ve noticed that a lot more figure makers are including alternate parts; MegaHouse did it with Irma, and Amakuni did it with one of their Lucifer figures; it’s nice to see various manufacturers doing this, since it makes for a much nicer figure, in my opinion.
Awesome!!
I hereby shamelessy declare how I like everything about this figure. Too bad, as I’ve been focusing in a new hobby these past few months, I missed this figure and I found out she’s now being sold at a hefty price. There’s a pre-order for a white dress version of her at a reasonable price, but I don’t think it looks as stunning as this one, though I may overlook that part ^_^
so your breast are detachable or is the bra detachable?
