Haha, yeah, deciding whether to photograph the optional parts was a a little bit of a struggle for me. It’s funny but I think I’m a little less enthused about this figure than most people; I’m really surprised at how much love she’s getting, and I wonder how much of that is due to the novelty of having a futanari figure from a very well-regarded manufacturer (and distributor). With the moulding on the hair and the bow, there’s a bit of flashing left over on the bootleg, though not the worst as far as bootlegs go. The bootleg also has some random paint splotches on her arm above the cuff, which gives it a bit of an odd appearance. Interestingly, the holes are different sizes – the bootleg’s is larger than the official – meaning the genital accessories can’t be mixed and matched.
Well, the bootleg fits, but doesn’t look very good. Paint’s a mess and doesn’t have the pearlescent finish of the official. The bootleg parts don’t fit as tightly as the official, which does make them easier to swap at the expense of some angles having gaps… Not a trade-off that is worth it imo. Overall, I think this is a pretty good figure though to be honest, it’s one I think I could have skipped. I mainly bought it because I like Ban!’s work, but SkyTube and Native have more figures based on his illustrations in the works, and I think I like them better. I’ve become less fond of figures that are sitting down, partly because of the issue mentioned above but primarily because I don’t really enjoy photographing them as much, and photography is a big reason why I collect figures. But it’s still a good figure, hermaphrodite or not.The official base I still feel is sort of plain, but some time and attention has been put into it to add scuffs in the sand and make the stand support the figure. I think the idea of the furry base is a nice alternative though it doesn’t fit thematically with it being a beach figure. The one provided with the bootleg is very poor quality though, so not something I’d want to use. The bootleg’s leg is a bit more curled in, which means her toes are now behind her other foot. The ribbon hasn’t been painted on well for the bootleg, and looks a lot worse than the official.
That said, the pose generally only works from the front view; from any other angle you notice that her limbs and hair aren’t entirely flush on the surface of the base. It’s a problem a lot of sitting, reclining, and lying figures have. It’s one reason why I much prefer figures that are standing. The bootleg base isn’t quite as big as the official. Also nowhere near as circular. Figure spin-around Apparently I was having a dozy day the day I took these, and the official box is on its side. They are actually the same (or very similar) dimensions. Not too much to see here, other than the round tape on the official. The reflections show a more premium finish to the official box, but that’d likely be hard to notice without them side by side. and how should I explain it to friends or family. Nevertheless she looks like a stunning figure overall. I’m glad that you reviewed the figure and took these nice pictures of her, even when you skipped the grotesque parts 😀 For the official, we have purple-brown hair, with lighter colouring on her fringe. The fringe cuts across evenly above her eyes. And the bootleg? We have definitely purple hair, with silver shading, and her fringe is at uneven levels above her eyes. With the official, we have some shading around her eyes and underneath her fringe which is entirely absent on the bootleg. The bootleg seems to have slightly rounder eyes and more contrasting colours for the iris. The bootleg’s mouth is also crooked, which gives her different expression which feels less friendly to me.Futanari figures are a popular type of collectible figurine that depict characters with both male and female genitalia. Often referred to as "hermaphrodite" figures, these figurines are popular among fans of anime, manga, and other forms of Japanese pop culture. For the official, we have some large, slightly shiny breasts. On the bootleg, they’re less shiny and the paint is weirdly powdery. The areola is also a bit overly pink. Here we get a better look of the bootleg figure’s hair flower, should you wish for it. On the official, only the right arm is removable so you can put her bangle on. It’s pretty amazing how figures have come along. I remember when it was tough to find a figure with exposed nipples and now that’s just absurdly passe. If this is the sort of thing you’re interested in collecting, there’s never been a wider variety of designs and themes.
