Pachira

I don’t know if the anime Magipoka (or Magical Pokan, or Renkin 3-kyu Magical? Pokan) had any success, but I loved it. Pachira the vampire and Liru the werewolf are my favorite characters, and I guess it is because of their respective seiyuu : Aya Hirano and Hitomi Nabatame, discovered in previous show like Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu or School Rumble.
Well, when Max Factory released the Uma figurine (the witch from Magipoka), I wasn’t that enthusiastic, since I didn’t think at that time there will be an other Magipoka figure. But!
Pachira appeard in Max Factory planning.
And now I am so happy to have both of them standing in my collection.


This figurine is just perfect. Sure I am fond of it, but honestly, from the bottom of her gothic boots to the top of her “neko-ribbon”, she is exactly the same as in the anime. All details have been respected, and that is the way I like figurines.

One thing I also like in (anime) girls is pigtails (or twintails, don’t know exactly how it’s called in english). Pachira’s are very long, and end with a funny sharp form. That is what makes Pachira charming, added to her great clothes.

Nowadays, a figurine must have removable clothes or some switchable stuff. Well, Pachira does have something like that, called “polo system” by Max Factory folks. In other words, her clothes can be taken off. That is funny, of course, but she is much more sexier when she is full-dressed.

Other Review

Shingo from Heisei Democracy did a nice review of this Pachira figurine, for those who missed it.

A last shot with her witch friend Uma from Magipoka. They definitly look great together in a collection. I hope Liru and Aiko will follow.

    Hehehe now thats what I call a Loli figure from top to bottom and I’m Loli fan not a young girls perv. Her face seems to be pretty innocent in this figure.

    Oh I forgot to mention something, after all I ordered Sera-chan from AsianAlternative, they were quite fast, I place my order on one Thursday and arrived Thursday of the next week but the card boxes they used to transport were so bad and weak that her box came damaged :(

    Erf too bad :/
    I’ve heard recently from other guys who used to order stuff from them that their packagings were aweful.

    Back to Pachira, yeah she’s blushing a little bit. A pretty loli as you said ;)

    I didn’t preordered this and now I feel regretful… but I already found some store where I can buy her. But disagreeing with Heisei Democracy’s review I think she is too skinny with her clothes off, she will remain with her clothes when I have her… otherwise my wife will be very upset :P
    Congrats! This is another great review from you.

    I have to wait till july for my haruhi….

    nice pachira pictures, but NSFW ^^;

  • http://www.mukyaa.com lu-k

    Kamugin : I prefer her full-dressed. Clothes are the soul of each anime character, I don’t have any interrest removing them, exept for IKKI TOUSEN girls hahaha ;)

    Ron~ : mmhhh yeah I should have put a warning about it… :o
    I’ll edit ;)

    I think AsianAlternative and Nautilus anime still have haruhi for pre-order, strangely on AsianAlternative they still have the pre-order of March

  • weew

    Great pickups!

    My Haruhi is somehow on her way. HLJ said my order was pushed back again till June, but some for some reason last week they shipped!

    As for Pakira, she was a last minute cancellation for me. It’s a gorgeous figure and i loved it the second i saw it as a kit from one of the big festivals. However, i thought about where she would go and who to place her with in my detolfs and i couldnt think of a logical answer….so i cancelled. The November re-release is calling though….arghh.

    Looks pretty ;p. Very nice looking figure, haven’t checked out the anime yet but it has caught my interest. I like how figures now come with optional clothing, but sometimes clothing is better. In this case I think its better with clothing. The detail is really nice, thats the way a figure is supposed to be.

    seeing her fully dresses is definitely better, nice figure btw :)

    I didn’t end up buying this, but since I actually watched Magipoka only a few weeks ago, it kind makes me sad that I didn’t. Good thing that there’ll be a re-run of her later this year.

    Somehow I missed seeing this update. :( I like the chain wrap around. It fits the pose of the figure.

    I think almost every figure out there looks better fully dressed because of the thickness of the pvc clothing they have to make adjustments to the body, so they never look right without the clothes. I got my Pachira with Rosanna.

    Thanks! That’s the chain I usually put arround my neck ;)
    That’s a pretty good analysis, I agree with that.

    I’m glad for you guys that there’ll be a restock, this figurine is a very good one.

    I haven’t seen the anime but I really hope that a figure of Liru will follow !

  • http://sector6slumjunkshop.blogspot.com/ Sector6

    nice photo shoot- especially the different backgrounds.

  • http://abstractnonsense.info/moe/ Aya Kyunik

    I got to admit, the chains are a nice touch.
    I dunno but I kinda like the clotheless Pakira, but I’ll still take the clothed version over it.

    I’m glad I picked this up as soon as it was listed on HLJ, I’m eagerly waiting for Aiko and Liru aswell, but I dunno if they’ll top the sexiness of Pakira.

  • Andrew

    Grabbed this figure after seeing the review here. A little expensive but cute. :P

    The idea of the chaine sticks well on the style of the figure.

    I like Liru, too! Great pics here. All your pictures are so clearly, and so high-quality… I like your site very much. :)

  • MR x

    I like Pachira a lot, even with her small breasts lol, I hope a liru figure comes out! I hope they don’t mess her up and make her look stupid or something,
