The unique sculpting work of Toda-san creates a figure that has an incredible presence!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pict\" src=\"http:\/\/livedoor.blogimg.jp\/gscmikatan\/imgs\/8\/8\/8862f297.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"002\" hspace=\"0\" width=\"515\" height=\"703\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">This is how she looks from the back!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The crease in her tights just behind the knee needs a special mention! The detail really gives the whole figure an amazingly realistic effect!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pict\" src=\"http:\/\/livedoor.blogimg.jp\/gscmikatan\/imgs\/2\/d\/2d06a3d7.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"008\" hspace=\"0\" width=\"515\" height=\"653\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">A lovely sleek pose!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Her whole body from her upper arm down to her waist is simply gorgeous! I think this photo is actually the best of all the pictures I took of her, as the close up on her body really shows off the sensual appeal of the figure. Her clothes are also\u00a0sculpted\u00a0to look so soft and velvety!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pict\" src=\"http:\/\/livedoor.blogimg.jp\/gscmikatan\/imgs\/c\/3\/c3b0e153.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"003\" hspace=\"0\" width=\"515\" height=\"620\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">A super sexy expression!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Toda-san&#8217;s sculpting is well known for these more realistic expressions &#8211; just look at that charming little mouth!

Both make use of lovely clear parts and the pedestal as a whole is placed at an angle which really suits the posing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pict\" src=\"http:\/\/livedoor.blogimg.jp\/gscmikatan\/imgs\/6\/e\/6e580687.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"006\" hspace=\"0\" width=\"515\" height=\"590\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">The lacing on the skirt looks so fluffy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I love it when dresses have a large fluffy lace, so this is perfect for me!
