Marikawa Shizuka - Gym Uniform ver.

Both the shirt and shorts are made of stretchy material. I'm not quite sure what material it is, but it has a nice feel to it. The shorts can stretch onto her hands making a nice erotic panty shot. The shirt is also good idea because you can play around with how you want her to look. A couple examples would be having the shirt stuck between her breasts or having the shirt lifted above her breasts.

The only issue I have with the stretchy shirt is that it doesn't fold well because it's not cloth. The reason behind this is that if you try to make the shirt look natural above her breasts, it's a bit hard because the material doesn't fold like cloth does.

One issue with Shizuka is the gap in her midsection. Shizuka comes apart at the midsection in order to get her white top off. The issue here is that the two parts don't fit together seamlessly leaving a small gap where they fit together. This is a little depressing because her ass looks really good and the gap just ruins it.

From the front the gap isn't that bad, but you can still see a little seam. Her panties have a nice design, so it's a shame that such a seam ruins her midsection.

The pads do look good, but I wish you could take them off. From looking at them I do not think they snap together, so if you want to take them off you have to break them off. I do like the base a lot. As you can see here the base is a floorboard which was the case in the original photo in which she was playing volleyball.

Another issue I have with Shizuka is that she is permanently attached to the base. One leg is attached permanently while the other leg is screwed on. The screw is there so you can remove the red shorts. I'm not sure why they did this, as this is the first figure I've seen attached by a screw.

Despite her faults, Shizuka really is a beautiful figure. Her face is very cute and her breasts are very well done. Overall I say she looks a lot better nude than with her clothes on. The Gym Uniform version is a lot better than the Teacher version. I would recommend the Gym Uniform version over the Teacher version since the Teacher version does not have a cast off top.

This shot here is my first HOTD set. All the figures are fully clothed and they all look great. :)

This shot here is my second HOTD set. When Chara-Ani decided to re-release Rei, Saeko and Saya I decided to purchase them again and have an all nude set. The only issue with this set is Chara-Ani screwed up Shizuza's Teacher version by not having her top cast off.
