Original - Sakura Kaede - 1/6 (Daiki Kougyou)1/6 · Daiki Kougyou

Daiki Kougyou presents a 1/6 scale original character figure of Sakura Kaede. Standing approximately 260mm tall, this figure is crafted from ABS and PVC with sculpting by Akechi Ittsuru, Toushirou, and Sakura no Tomoru Hie. It was released in November 2022. Sakura Kaede is an original character inspired by the illustration theme "a girl who cosplays at her boyfriend's request," with artwork credited to the illustrator known as "Sakura no Tomoru Hie." As an original character not tied to any specific anime or manga franchise, she represents the growing trend of figure manufacturers collaborating with independent illustrators to bring original designs to life as collectibles. The character's concept centers on a relatable, everyday scenario that adds personality and context to her figure portrayal. The 1/6 scale figure depicts Sakura Kaede in a cosplay outfit featuring a revealing top and thigh-high stockings, with flowing hair and expressive eyes. Reviewers have noted the quality of the paintwork and the substantial weight and size of the figure, which exceeds expectations for the scale. The detailed sculpting and vibrant paint application make this a striking addition for collectors of original character figures.
