About this deal

I like maid-type outfits and I like busty blonde characters, so I am willing to overlook some of Pochaco's issues; here she is with another busty blonde maid, Sega's Sena Kashiwazaki ITEM #132179 . That figure is 1/7-ish in scale, and I think it might actually have *fewer* painting issues, even though it's a cheap prize figure... One small complaint is that her breasts look a little bit awkward when she's viewed from straight ahead. Color Failure: The CEO of the skin cream company suffers from a colour loss after learning that her product is pulled from the shelves; it turns out that its side effects include making people extremely hungry and turning them into skinny zombies. but the beer in her other hand looks like it's flat (nothing about Pochaco should be flat, right :) ). At first, I thought this was just a strange design choice, but a number of character goods featuring an illustration of Pochaco in this outfit were released right around the same time as this figure and the illustration depicts the two beers just like this. See ITEM #219698 for an example. Hero of Another Story: Super Pochaco is a shy and chubby girl first seen as the third episode. She appears to view Sonico as a role model of sorts: over time, she changes her hairstyle, becomes more confident, dyes her hair, joins a talent agency and dispenses with her glasses.

Sex Sells: To help the local shopping district compete with the new department store, Suzu makes use of this approach in episode eleven. While initially effective, the department store turns its resources towards hiring a popular idol group, and later tries to get a male idol group in, as well.

Despite the rather terrible paintwork, this figure does have a lot of things going for it, and I really like this Pochaco despite her many QC issues. Would I recommend this figure? That question doesn't have an easy answer... One interesting accessory that comes with the figure is a cloth apron. The parts of the apron that go around Pochaco's arms are fairly stretchy, so it's easy to get her dressed in the apron if you want to go that route.

Ouka is from Nitroplus Wars and shows up in episode three. She plays a larger role from episode six onwards. Slice of Life: The anime emphasises Sonico's day-by-day interactions with the people around her, and the fanservice elements only appear whenever Sonico is doing her modelling shoots. Spotlight-Stealing Squad: In episode three, Kitamura "saves" Sonico from a squid monster instead of letting the heroes of the show do it.

Food as Bribe: After Fuuri complains about wearing a somewhat skimpy outfit in episode eleven outside in the cold, Suzu tells her that she can have all the meat buns she wants during her break, with great success. The sculpt of Pochaco's fingers is a little bit rough. Also, it's kind of funny that one of the beers she is holding has a frothy head... I Call It "Vera": Sonico's guitar was a gift from Toma-senpai that the latter named "Daydream"; Toma herself received it as a gift.

Barely-There Swimwear: For her modelling job in the first episode, Sonico began with a bathing suit that was about three sizes too small. She is subsequently asked to wear something that apparently crossed the line (while never shown on-screen, it appears to be pink and involves glitter). Kitamura, her manager, appears just in time to spare Sonico from having to wear it.Nitroplus Blasterz Heroines Infinite Duel (2015) - Sonico is both a playable character and an assist character. It's a shame because "cute busty barmaid serving up fresh cold beers!!!!1" is an A+ (HAW HAW) concept. Also, I'd still rank this Pochaco as one of my favs on the market, even if I don't want to own it. Lol. If A+ ever re-released this (dream on) I'd appreciate if they upped the quality control as well as perhaps revisiting the sculpt just a tiiiinnyyyyy bit. To meet MY very specific request. Pls and thx. Chop chop A+ !!!!! : Pochaco doesn't require a whole lot in the way of set up. Basically, attach her to the base and she's good to go. Establishing Character Moment: Sonico's manager makes his debut by arriving just as a client tried to take a photo of Sonico in a rather skimpy bikini. His first move is to intimidate them into not doing the shoot with his demon mask, with the implication that it's to him what the headphones are to Sonico. The paint on the front of Pochaco's garterbelt is not *quite as* sloppy, but it's still pretty messy...
