Madoka Yuki Summer Clothes

Kit Review

Straight build

Kotobukiya's Sousai Shojo Teien series has released Madoka Yuki (Momo Sakura High School Summer Clothes Ver.). Following the previously released winter uniform version, we now have the summer uniform as well. With the switch to the summer uniform, quite a lot has changed — from the outfit itself all the way down to the socks on her legs.

Being a costume variation, the basic lineup isn't all that different from the winter uniform version — you still get 3 hairstyles, 4 faces, 3 skirts, a stand, bag, smartphone accessories, and a dedicated lower body for seated poses. That said, the facial expressions have been freshened up, and a front hair piece compatible with glasses has been added. The biggest change, though, is the inclusion of one extra forward-leaning upper body.

That's likely why it comes in at ¥6,000 — ¥600 more than the winter uniform version's ¥5,400. Thanks to that extra part, you can pull off more realistic poses like leaning over a cafe table or hunching over a desk studying. The basic articulation characteristics are otherwise the same, so you can still enjoy a good variety of fun poses with decent articulation and joint strength.

All in all, this kit offers more than just a simple costume swap, and if you're a fan of the Sousai Shojo Teien series, it looks like a kit with a lineup and quality that should leave you pretty satisfied. :-)
