She of the ever-present giant headphones is getting yet another new release soon, courtesy of Alphamax. Thankfully, they seem to have given the appropriate treatment to our pink-haired lass. Personally, I like seeing an old standby still remaining popular. It's a refreshing constant in an industry that so often focuses on the next big thing!
As for this Sonico, she's quite scantily clad even by Sonico standards, and you'll certainly get a look at her next big things, as Skytube's spared no expense on the, ah, details. I really enjoy her necklace, however, and one thing that's always seemed to stand out with Sonico figures is their eyes. That's no exception here, as I think they look just great! She'll be available in December for around ¥6,680, and is certainly worth considering if you're a fan!

Every time this lovely lady shows up, I've mentioned my attraction to the similarly styled Mizuho from Onegai Teacher. That series may be long since over, but Mizuho's successor from Waiting in the Summer has certainly been m...

[update: Added an image to the gallery that is probably the source artwork for this figure! It also appears that this originates from something in the manga. I don't know anything else beyond that at the time of writing~][upd...

I make no bones about it: I'm critical of swimsuit figures because to me, they're pretty lazy from a design perspective. There is, however, one thing that sets Alphamax's Golden Darkness apart. It's all about that little...

There are as many swimsuit figures as there are fish in the sea, but that won't stop Alphamax from adding to the selection. I suppose as long as there are characters to fit into swimsuits, there will be swimsuit figures. This...
