Orchid seed is going to release the very sexy (and huge) 1/5th scale figure rendition of Sonico which is based on Nitroplus’ interactive PC game called SoniComi (ソニコミ).
I’ve been a big Sonico fan since her first debut back in 2006 and I’ve been constantly collecting some of her best figure treatments ever since. This upcoming figure of her from Orchid Seed looks really great. It’s scaled at 1/5 so she’s going to be HUGE! (yay!)
Better prepare some spacious room for her once she’s released to the public on December. Currently priced at ¥11,429.
I love Sonico since the Sonicomi Game was announced, even more after I played it. I feel that this is the figure I always wanted as collector, what can be better than a huge, attractive figure of one of your favorite characters by one of your favorite figure manufacturers. That will be a long wait.
@Wieselhead: Yeah! it will be a long wait! Btw, haven’t tried Sonicomi yet. How is the game played? Is it fully interactive?
No, not fully interactive, but it feels like Sonico is alive, she speaks very cute and is always 3D animated, which gives her a lot of personality. There are the photomission and the storyline. The photomissions are really action orientated. The storyline is a bit like these bishoujon dating games, but with only Sonico as your only love interest. There are several endings you can achieve by choosing different answers and events.
