Very solid sculpts. Both the Ichiko and Manatsu figures look accurate to their sources. There are two styles, as you can see. One pair shows the girls in their regular outfits and the other pair shows them in their swimsuits. I prefer the swimsuit sculpts because I think the poses are cuter. I have to mention that the hand and feet sculpts are excellent. They look quite realistic which surprised me. They have more detail than most PVC figures out there. Very cool. The colors are also solid. They match their source very well and the overall paint job is very clean.

I also have to mention that the stands are quite large. But the figures fit into them perfectly and the large size holds down the figures very well. But I think they could've been smaller. There are also some minor issues with blemishes but they were fixed after some tweaking.

Overall: B+
Very nice solid sculpts. They are simple and cute. I would've liked a better pose for the figures in their regular outfits. But overall, they're a cute set of figures.
