Comments • [NSFW/18+] Daiki 1/6 "F-ism Shojo"

Happyakrz (11 days ago) #71268221I love how this figure has a beautiful presence and an almost playful nature. I like how you can't necessarily tell right away that she's bound in a rope harness. And I feel like it might almost work as a completely safe character to display on a shelf where young adults might see it (as long as the angle and position is correct). After all, I wouldn't necessarily be displaying it in its most "raw" option.
...
So I'm left with a dilemma -- buy the beautiful figure that opens me up to a raised eyebrows here and there, or stay safe for now with rated PG13 figures.
Your review was outstanding! Thanks!

I've got her displayed (with the skirt and with the default torso) on a shelf just below eye level in a case with her looking over her shoulder, and at a glance you don't really notice the rope harness.

If you like the general style of Murakami Suigun, this figure ITEM #806375 might actually be a good choice, as its default display option is just about 100% SFW, but she also has an 18+ castoff option.

Fantastic review! I've been eye-balling this figure for a long time and going back and forth about whether the purchase would be instantly regretted. I've not really delved into the purchase of any ecchi figures yet (though I have a couple that can be displayed in a topless or nude manner). I guess I'm equating ecchi with an overt sexuality displayed or at least heavily implied.

I hate to say this, because I TOTALLY believe in artistic freedom, and have ZERO problem with nudity or sexuality or personal expression -- it's all SO important, but I wish that perhaps an alternate version of the figure could be offered -- something a little more tame perhaps (without the ropes and accessories). This is a gorgeous sculpt of a really beautiful figure, and I'm sure that there would be plenty of sales to make the investment worthwhile.

Then again, I get annoyed when buying music and having to wade through the "safe" vs. "explicit" versions of songs out there. I want to hear the words from the mouth and heart and soul of the writer -- don't candy-coat it and make it safe because some people might be offended by the perfect words that inspired the writer.

So I'm left with a dilemma -- buy the beautiful figure that opens me up to a raised eyebrows here and there, or stay safe for now with rated PG13 figures.

h0ppR (11 days ago) #71241076Nice review! I actually just got this figure new from a local shop. They don't move a lot of copies fast and I get lucky finding "old" figures new there. My only disappointment with this figure is that they didn't replicate that opened mouth smile that she has on the artwork. The expression that the sculpt has isn't really the same.

I also got this figure from a small shop, and that type of local shopping has many benefits, one in particular is that since they don't move mountains of inventory sometimes you can find figures new that have been released for a while.

You make a good point about the design of her face. Her face is very pretty and Daiki did a good job duplicating the pose into 3D, but I agree that neither face part quite duplicates the feel of the source illustration.

It seems like all figure collections eventually get more 18+ over time. It's just a matter of time :).

ITEM #806375 this one is cool but i don't know if i would end up getting it. i suppose it's the overall aesthetic of this character and that i feel like you have to look to find the nsfw parts, like if you just glanced at it you might not think it was what it was. and you're probably right about the 18+ over time thing x) who knows what my first 18+ figure will be!

Thanks for your thoughts & review!! Now i regret reserving her.

galablue (12 days ago) #71179676thank you so much for reviewing this figure. this is probably the only 18+ figure i have actually had my eye on. as soon as i saw her i really just loved her overall appeal and i hope to have her on my shelf one day when i'm brave enough to actually pull the trigger on an 18+ figure.

Interesting that this would be the only 18+ figure you are currently watching. Do either of these figures ITEM #804068 ITEM #806375 have any appeal to you, given that they are from the same artist and the former figure appears to be the same character?

Cloudberry (12 days ago) #71153003Nice review! I enjoy reading your 18+ reviews and you definitely have high standards for figures.
As for the figure itself, the only thing that bugs me is how one of her hair is near her mouth; it just feels like it's blocking the view of it. Either way, I like this fig and occasionally is on my radar for pickup. I like theme and if I had to display her, I just keep the skirt on for the extra 'naughtyness' of it
I'm quite surprised about the bondage rope/toy part; I always thought you had to change out her lower body to 'insert' the toys. Changing out the rope to give an illusion there's a toy in it is smart.
Also, I actually like the ball gag on her, it looks fitting for the theme.

I hadn't really noticed that stray piece of hair until you mentioned it. At first, I thought maybe it was that way in the source illustration, and it was just a case of "2D didn't translate perfectly into 3D", but I guess Daiki freestyled a little there.

The toy solution worked out better than I thought it would. I had my doubts when I saw the squared off ends of the toys, but the effect is convincing enough that they are...located...where they are supposed to be. Swapping out that piece of the rope harness is also really easy, so that's a plus.

I was surprised how well Rika Shiraki's ball gag worked on this figure, although the green color always has struck me as being an odd choice.

vgadict (12 days ago) #71152988Great review! I'm not generally a fan of those ropes, but the overall posing and appearance of the figure is very appealing.

Daiki really did do a good job of translating the source illustration into 3D. I'm very interested to see if they'll do the same with ITEM #806375, as that is also a fairly ambitious figure.
