Personal Story:
I saw this figure by accident while browsing for something online. It caught my eye. I ignored it for a bit because I didn't think I would get it so I moved on. Then some toy site had clearer pics of her and I was enticed to check it out. So, I decided to order it online just to own another half naked figure. ^^;; She was somewhat expensive for a figure of this type but she was selling out fast so I got her to prevent myself from regretting it in the future. I didn't know anything about it until I decided to review it here.
 
Introduction:
This figure is part of CM's Figure Series. The figure is based on the character Yura Onodera from an ecchi manga/anime, Futari H. It features Yura wearing a man's shirt and more.
 

Sculpt:
Sexy. The face and hair looks just like its source. There are some good details with the hair but there's nothing special about it. The sculpt for the body is great. I really like her pose and the placement of her arms and hands. She looks innocent and naughty at the same time. It's almost as if she's trying to seduce you and being playful at the same time. ^^;; The body is very nice. She's very voluptuous and quite curvaceous. What I found so good is that her body isn't too thin or too muscular. It looks just right. The sculptor managed to strike a balance between those two features. Very nice. All the details with her body are very subtle and well defined. I also found that they put a lot of thought into her breasts. They're quite detailed for a figure of this size. They actually sculpted out the nipples! It's a fine detail. I'm sure the sculptor wanted her to be displayed topless. :) Even 1/6 figures don't put that much thought into the nipples area. The area where the panties are is also nicely done with creases and such. This is especially true for the butt area. The legs and feet are also very well sculpted. They continue that balance of being slim and curvy at the same time. I was very impressed. Good job.

Yura also comes with two accessories. The first item is a man's shirt. It's very well sculpted with tiny folds and such. It's also thin in the right places and looks quite realistic. I was actually happy with the details for it. It covers Yura's body very well and flows down along her curvy parts. :P It doesn't look awkward considering it's made of hard plastic. You need to take her arms off to put on the middle two pieces and then place the sleeves onto her arms themselves. It doesn't "snap" onto the figure like I thought. It somehow manages to "suck" onto the arms. Very well done. The second item is a bra (not pictured on the figure in this review). It's okay. It's made of a softer plastic that allows you to wrap it onto her boobs. There's nothing special about it. It was a great idea to allow us to change her outfits. I hope more sculptors look into this feature.

There's also a base included. It had a few surprises. You can decide if you want to use the ball-jointed end of the stick or simply place the stick into the base for more stability. It adds a lot of flexibility to how you want to display her. But I don't like the piece that holds the figure. There are three sizes but only the medium-sized one works without holding onto the figure too tightly. It works well overall.

The figure has ZERO articulation so you won't be posing her in any way. The head can move a little though. The size of the figure would've been better if it were available in a larger size but she's made with a heavy solid plastic so that makes up for it..
 

Paint:
The paint is good. The flesh color is excellent. It looks like a dark peach. The eyes are clean and clear. The hair has some airbrushing but I think it's a little overdone. The paint job for the shirt is okay. They airbrushed some lime green in all the places that supposed to be shadows. It's odd but it works. They also did this for the bra and panties with a pink color. It doesn't look as good though. I'd also like to mention that they also painted her nipples with an airbrush. The pinkish color looks good and isn't overdone. Good detail. ;)

There are some minor black specks on the back and side of her legs but that's very minor. It probably came from the molding process. It's annoying but minor.

 
Overall: B+
This is a very sexy figure. It hits all the right spots. If you like Futari H or a cute anime babe then this is definitely a must-have. The ability to change her outfits was a nice feature. I wish the figure was larger though.
 

Where can I find this?
She's a bit tricky. Only a few Japanese online stores seem to have her in stock (as of this review) so that's your best bet. I'm not sure where else to find her . She's not widely known.
 
Other Images:


The figure in its box. Ugh, the colors are horrible! A mustard yellow and dark red. It looks like something that was designed during the height of Communism in China. At least the figure can be seen clearly in there. There's also some really bad Engrish on the top right. Here it is exactly the way its written out: "This figure is very good!! Because you can change YURA's cloth shirt or under wear, as you like. Let's try it !!" LoL. I got a real good laugh out of that. XD
