Hi everyone! Time to discuss this lovely lady here, sakuya (crimson mode) made by kotobukiya! Shes quite big as she is 33 cm tall and 1/6 scale
Well onto the review!
- Posing
Lets take a look at the overall figure to see her posing.
She looks very determined and the sword definitly grabs your attention.
Shes holding it delicately.
Her overall pose gives off some elegance i would say by the way she stands yet the cool look cause of her
I would give the pose a solid 8. Nothing too impressive but definitly fits the theme going on.
- Sculpting and painting
Now lets take a look at the details here.
First off, the impressive sword.
From several angles it looks really cool and has a nice see through pattern!
However... it looks like it is made of plastic, and that certainly shows.
First off mine has a small chip (she arrived like that)
and its a bit sloppy with the grey parts, couldve been more crispier
Aside from that really perfect, love the flames and its really big
The handle fits in nicely, the top can be removed so you can slide it in her hands. It is pretty nicely made
Then there are her lovely curly locks and face
First off her face
While im usually not a fan of kotos way of sculpting tonys typical face, here she has that cheekiness to her and that spark instead of deadpan eyes who look hollow.. (my personal opinion) she looks like shes really determined and ready for action
And rest of the face seems pretty well done aside from the seamline on her head but that doesnt look too bad unless you look from above her head, which is rarely an angle you look at her.
Cute small purple ribbons.
Well now onto that lovely hair of her but a bit more zoomed in,the curls look great
I got a thing for drill like hairstyles and this is pretty similar.
Her hair looks flowy and not static either which gives that ready for action vibe an extra boost :) making it all look less static and still look elegant as well.
Must say that it is a bit flatter at the sides of her hair
Aside from that no big flaws.
Now lets look at the outfit.
Lovely red dress with some white. However the white is translucent as well.. im not sure if i really like that, it gives it a cheaper look in my opinion
The small details are really nice, like the cracks in the top and the small ribbon!
As well as the emblem on her top
Well then theres her... rack
Boobs are rather squeezed... making it appear blobby and they dont go unnoticed, theyre rather big sized ;) they sure pop out haha
However there are lovely details here as well like the frills at the side. (Also her armpits are well done)
And then there is the small necklace and turtleneck cape
Overall decent outfit i quite like the ribbons and small details. But the white is rather meh.
For those who want to see it, her panties from below!
View spoiler
well made but not really visible if you look at her from a normal point of view.
Theres also this small detail where you can see her underdress? Its a bit grey :) was really hard to capture but a nice element neverthless
And theres the backside, with a cape-like top.
Now onto her stockings
Theyre pretty nicely made with cute frills and the lines in it make her look more alive cause if you were to stand like this you would definitly see this. However, the top part does not look good, i noticed this when reviewing her.. it is cutting in her thighs and has a bit of paint bleed.
Now here are her boots, also neatly done
Its properly done not much to say about it as there arent many details here. Looks neat how her shoes are absorbed in the flames
So overall 7/10 couple of minusses here (seam on leg and head) but still looking really pretty!
Her boobs though couldve been a bit less blobby but thats personal preference.
- Base
Well the base is the most stunning part of the figure i would say
Really awesome flame pattern well made.
Only thing that couldve been a nice option to imclude would be some led lights to give that extra effect.
Yeah definitly a 10/10 for me as i dont see any flaws here and its well sculpted
- Box (pictures sadly come later due to moving out,sorry for thr inconvinience)
The box is rather huge and the reason that she barely fits sal small package (i managed to but most shops didnt bother or didnt want to risk it cause it only fit with minimal protection)
At the sides you can see the flame pattern, nice touch
Aside from that just the usual box with a nice window where you can take a sneak peak at the figure and the lovely art of the figure it is based on :)
Does what it has to do 7/10
- enjoyment
9/10
Why? Cause shes such an eyecatcher and i love tonys art as well as the colors used here. Always been a fire type so yeah guess its just a personal bias :)
Thank you for reading and until next time!

Thanks :D
Ems and dhl would be twice as much
EMS:4150yen
DHL:4800yen
But as said the risk is yours to take. They told me that:
The size limit for SAL is small, and it is possible to send this item via SAL small packet but the box will be really tight.
There will be a high risk of the item getting damaged during the transport.
Please contact us, when you want to give priority not to a cheap mailing cost but to safety.
But yeah mine arrived fine as you can see and box was good tooThat sounds like a great deal! I'd go for small packet, paying twice as much seems like unnecessary tbh and yours look great! Thank you very much for the detailed info, I appreciate it :)
2180 yen :)

Yeah laced firered panties wouldve been nice haha :)
Glad you liked the review! :) and yes shes pretty and well made
Yeah they did that with me too but after asking in messenger and also in comment section they allowed it :) they only do it on request. They dont list it as possible
Do get her shes really worth it and yes 1/6 is nicely scaled for her rlly!It says that sal parcel is available but small packet is not unfortunately :/ Well there's no rush but someday I'll get her!
I always wanted her but I never got her for some reason. Well mostly because it's not sal-small packet'able on amiami and mandarake.. But I'll get her one day for sure! I especially love the fact that it's a 1/6 scale.
Oh? I got her from manda i think 5k and sal (cant pick it anymore cause of logistic reasons now) they said its at your own risk tho cause theres lil protection, only a small bubble wrap. I dunno if i would do it again, i know mailservice here is quite good but many countries they just throw it in and then you get a squashed box..
