Earlier this week I got a Sonico figure in the mail, and got to take pictures of her today, now that I have a little bit of light. Well. It's already dark out now, and the sky's been blanketed by clouds all day, but it gave me more light to work with than having to rely just on artificial light.

It's the Winter Memory figure by FuRyu!

I've been thinking about this figure since before it came out, I think it came out for preorder about a year ago, maybe a bit longer?

A lot of Sonico figures go for pretty reasonable prices second hand so I decided to wait to get her. Ignoring the wedding figure that I desperately want but uuuuh. She goes for a pretty penny so IDK if that's gonna happen. I didn't think this figure was gonna jump that much in price though, like some of her figures have done, so I thought it'd be safe to wait a while.

Her face is so cute. It's so soft-looking. Her lips are such a gentle shade of pink.

I like the sweater dress even though they made her ass pretty much vaccuum sealed. Poor girl has a wedgie underneath that dress, I'm sure. The front makes it look like she's wearing a romper though, when she's clearly not. I think the dress was sculpted a tiny bit too close there.

Her nails are a pale peachy pink that reminds me of a nail polish I use myself a lot, though mine is shimmery. Similar shade though.

When I got my last Sonico figure a couple of years ago (the motorcycle figure) I loved her more vibrant hair and blue in her hair, which seems to, rather than be a permantent change, be her having canonically dyed her hair.

This figure has a little bit of blue left in it, kind of in a patchy way, which makes me think of how hairdye will fade on me too. I do think they could've painted it more eavenly though, I think it'd have looked cuter. It looks more gray than blue though.

Is she dyeing her eyebrows instead, now? They're a lot darker than they used to be. They're practically cerise.

Her purse is detachable, so I made sure to put her on a shelf that my cats (read: Njord) don't care about so they doesn't shove her and make it go missing. Her phone case is the same tiger as the tiger on her original anime design's shirt.

I'm happy to have her in my collection.
