The figure captivates with its depiction of Super Sonico’s appearance, featuring a voluminous front-knotted obi, reminiscent of ukiyo-e woodblock prints.

The traditional gold brocade, interwoven with gold and silver threads and embellished with gold and silver foil, adds a touch of opulence to the figure. The shamisen she cradles in her hand is a testament to the artisans’ dedication, faithfully capturing every wood grain, while the transparent hair ornament exudes sheer elegance. The presence of the distinctive Sonico mark on the back of her head cements this figure as an indispensable masterpiece for fans. This exquisite Super Sonico figure is the ultimate way to celebrate her 17th anniversary.
