There have been a lot of Tony Taka figures release this year: Shining series Tony Taka figures, cute Tony Taka figures, but in my opinion, the best Tony Taka figures are the pornographic Tony Taka figures. That’s exactly what we’ve got here; this is DRAGON Toys’s Maya Kamiwazumi, the cold, purple-haired heroine of Fault!! Strangely, none of the figure manufacturers seem all that enthusiastic about making a figure of Mio Sugiyama, the series’ spirited, spunky little sister character. Even hobby companies can surprise us from time to time.
Maya is the newest girl introduced in Fault!!, though that’s a relative term as the series is a couple of years old now and, strangely, no follow-up episode to the single-volume Fault!! Service Aratanaru Rival anime series seems to be forthcoming. The anime ended on a tense note, depicting a physical altercation between Maya and blonde girl Reiko Date Wingfield, and it’s a little disappointing that we’re not going to see them patch up their relationship with the ménage à trois scenes shown in the eroge’s CG sequences.
This figure is manufactured by DRAGON Toy in 1/6 scale. Maya is about 18.5 centimeters in height despite being on her knees, making her a fairly large figure. Aside from an alternate apron piece, she comes with no additional accessories, not even a base.
While the original cast of Fault!! is composed of friendly girls eager to receive the semen of main character Shuuichi Sugiyama, Maya is an aloof, assertive alpha girl. That’s not particularly obvious from the look of this figure, though; Maya has an anxious expression that conveys little of the confidence and self-control that she displays in the anime. Her nervousness is sort of a typical state for a hentai anime heroine, though, and it works pretty well with the rest of Maya’s design.
One odd thing is that her eyes have a pinkish hue, at least on my particular figure, as if paint bled over from her skin tone during the manufacturing process or something. I’m not sure if my figure is an exception, though I’d imagine not. It’s a little off-putting, but it also makes it look like she was crying, which might be an appealing bit of innuendo, depending on one’s perspective.
Her skin also has a dusting of pink color where shading would be expected. It’s fairly subdued, though, and the overall effect gives her skin a low-contrast, pastel tone.
Speaking of receiving semen, mentioning it might’ve been a silly joke but as a matter of fact, Maya actually has done just that, as can be discerned from a quick examination of her crotch, where leaking fluid is pooling on her panties. This exceptional detail is similar to DRAGON Toys’s earlier Kozue Sakakibara figure, and if it’s going to be a recurring feature of their Tony Taka figures, I certainly approve. Her genitalia also looks a bit puffy, and one may derive whatever conclusions one wishes from that.
No instruction sheet is provided to guide the owner in disassembling this figure, but the procedure is reasonably easy; Maya separates high at her waist and it’s not too difficult to figure out how to get her apron on. The bowtie behind her back doesn’t seem to be secured in place, though; it’s just held there when you reassmble her upper and lower halves together around it.
A few years back, the explicit aspects of this figure would be shocking, but now – as strange as it may sound – this figure is fairly unremarkable; we’ve seen Tony Taka figures, we’ve seen figures of Maya, and we’ve seen figures with simulated ejaculate before, and there’s not a whole lot new here. That’s not to say I don’t like this figure, though; I do like it quite a bit, more than the older Alphamax figure, although for a figure this lewd, her look feels muted. Aside from the pink-toned eyes, though, she’s well-made and she looks good, and there was a good bit of fun to be had while taking the pictures here.
