MegaHouse gives us Sakura Nanako, from the eroge Sakura Sakura (NSFW), as part of their Brilliant Stage series of character figures.
Sakura is a gym coach/trainer at a school, and that’s about it for the information I have about her. You can take a look at the bio provided on the box art from which the figure is based on.
Sakura Nanako’s regular attire in the game. The girls look really cute. ^^
Sakura Nanako was released in Feburary and retails for ¥7,300.
Overall, Sakura’s a very nice figure to be had with a beautiful sculpt, excellent paint job, and a great finish.
She comes with a few extra bits and pieces to let you customize how you want her on display.
I think I’ve developed a “thing” for figures in a kneeling position. ^^;;
MegaHouse also released a limited version of this figure dubbed the Platonic Side Version with a more revealing paint job; but I prefer this regular version because she looks cute like this.
Her pose makes for some great low-angle shots.
Does frills on leotards tickly your fancy?
Very cute. ^^
MegaHouse needs to rethink how they put the hair pieces together on their figures. This is the only complain I have with this figure.
Really nice detail and paint job on her hair.
Really nice details on the leotard.
I’ve always been wondering what she’s doing with that finger…
Sakura looks really nice with her top off, showing off her beautiful sculpt.
Enjoy the rest of the photos. ^^
My favourite shot. ^^

Really a nice piece of figure you have here, Tommy-kun. I remember watching in awe when this figure was fist announced last year (if I’m not mistaken) and thought of getting it. Alas, the exchange rate killed my ambitions for it.
I don’t know how to put it, but your shots make her look more…erotic? ^^
Excellent review!
Thanks jusuchin85. Indeed, the strong JPY and increasing price of figures are killing us; but sales are still our best friend. ^^
Hmm…didn’t realize she looked erotic in my shots. I think she looks really sexy though…kinda the same as erotic. Anyhow, I’m glad you liked it. ^^
Really nice figure, but here’s something funny.
When she takes the top off, her cup size really shrinks. It’s too “Sculpted”, like people with no body-muscle wearing an armour that’s sculpted to have muscles ;)
But VERY cute :)
The finger I think is meant to pull the leotard from her butt, like people sometimes need to fix their swimming suits.
LOL, I think that’s something the figure industry needs to work on. That’s one of the reason why I prefer to display her with her top off. She looks more natural and true to character like that.
Hmm…maybe she can help Alice readjust her pantsu as well. ^^;;
I actually like her more with the top on, cause it looks nicer, it looks rounder, and I’m not that kind of a loli :P
But yeah, it’s something to consider.
Oh beautiful review ! I have this figure (she is in review on Shadonia), and I love her. Your picture are really great ! Congratulation !
Thank you Leonia. I’ll add your review here.
Nice figure, almost makes me want to buy one even though I don’t know the character.
I don’t really know who she is neither, but she’s so cute I don’t need to know who she is. ^^
Exelica Meteor (i.e. James) has a review on both this and the special version. Too bad he is on an indefinite hiatus due to unknown financial reasons…
