Reasonable Authority Figure: Despite the scary mask he wears all the time, Kitamura does try to look out for Sonico, and attempts to prevent photographers from taking advantage of her. Spotlight-Stealing Squad: In episode three, Kitamura "saves" Sonico from a squid monster instead of letting the heroes of the show do it. Pochaco with one of my favorite Sonico figures, Orchid Seed's ITEM #198372 . That Sonico is 1/5 scale, and I think that Pochaco's large scale makes these two figures pair very nicely together! Additionally, you can see how some paint transferred from her skirt from her skin. Granted, this is a non-issue for me since I will not be displaying my Pochaco without her skirt, but it's something of which to be aware if you're thinking about getting one of these figures.
Sexy Santa Dress: Sonico wears one in episode eleven, while Fuuri is dressed up in a reindeer one. Ouka wears a cute one. Awesome by Analysis: Subverted initially with Ena in episode eight. She is seen observing what happened at the restaurant early on, but makes a lot of baseless accusations and seems to be totally clueless on being a what it takes to be a detective. After the credits roll however, she reveals to Miina that the latter spilled water on the speaker, damaging it. Then before she could get it stealthily repaired, she was told Sonico and her friends were going to use the stage for practice, hence her surprise at seeing Sonico at the beginning. Thanks to a bunch of mishaps, including moving Sonico's guitar out of the room she collapsed in, Ena deliberately delayed the investigation and acted dumb so that Miina could save face and her job by not having the girls practice and find out about the defective speaker, which would have ruined their session anyway. Truth in Television: During Real Life press events involving Super Sonico, one or more demon masked individuals are used to protect Super Sonico's purity.Pochaco with a very tanned Super Sonico. Wing's Sonico ITEM #117170 is 1/6 scale, and Sonico is established to be a little taller than Pochaco, so once again you can see that Pochaco is slightly larger than her listed 1/6 scale. Break the Cutie: Happens to Ayaka, the little girl in episode eleven. She at first is told by another kid that Santa doesn't exist despite her father telling her he does exist. Later she tells Sonico that her dad promised to be home for Christmas but won't be due to work. So she feels everything he tells her was a lie. Fortunately for her, both of her father's statements come true, and she sees both her father, who was also playing Santa. I like maid-type outfits and I like busty blonde characters, so I am willing to overlook some of Pochaco's issues; here she is with another busty blonde maid, Sega's Sena Kashiwazaki ITEM #132179 . That figure is 1/7-ish in scale, and I think it might actually have *fewer* painting issues, even though it's a cheap prize figure... The pose is lively enough, and Pochaco looks cute from a number of different angles, so I'd say that A-Plus did just fine with the figure's pose.
Essentially, the front and side panels of the box are identical with a window and the same picture of the figure. We will see that there is no shortage of little issues with this figure, but fortunately the pose is not one of them. Pochaco is clearly in waitress mode, and her pose gives off the sort of chipper and perky vibe that I tend to associate with the character. Unfortunately, I will not be displaying Pochaco without the skirt, and the reason is evident below. Her garterbelt is supposed to made from a lacy material, but as you can see it is just a painting disaster! Those big craters in her flesh don't help the matter, either :(... Food as Bribe: After Fuuri complains about wearing a somewhat skimpy outfit in episode eleven outside in the cold, Suzu tells her that she can have all the meat buns she wants during her break, with great success. Book Ends: The series begins and ends with Sonico waking up late, and then riding her bike to the university.Sonico winds up taking on more than she can handle during the cultural festival in episode nine; Sonico isn't one to turn down requests for assistance, though, rather than being forced to help others. Naitou-kun is the mascot character for Nitro+CHiRAL and its The CHiRAL NIGHT concerts, appearing on posters displayed in the modelling agency Sonico works for. Have you ever run across a figure of one of your favorite characters but you hold off on buying it because you're not too familiar with the manufacturer? Well, today we'll be reviewing such a figure, A-Plus' take on the one and only Super Pochaco. Pochaco has some cast-off features, so many of the shots below are probably NSFW. The NSFW-est shots are behind spoiler tags, so careful with those... Suspiciously Specific Denial: In episode eight, Fuuri claims she didn't arrive late to the rehearsal because she was waiting in line to buy a meat bun, all while eating a meat bun. While there are sorts of tasty foods at summer festivals, do the vendors usually serve alcohol? Anyway, if Pochaco was serving beer, surely Beelzebub would want one (or two or three or four). Amakuni's Beelzebub ITEM #349076 is not a tiny figure at 1/7 scale, and you can see that Pochaco towers over her.
