Josei Figure START BOOK Vol.1 May 2026 Issue [Cover] Shinonome Umi

[Machine Translation] Starting with Female Figures - In recent years, female figurines have been gaining momentum with the release of new products one after another from various companies. In this hot genre, a plastic model of popular TV personality Umi Shinonome in her bunny-girl outfit, with over 4 million followers (as of March 2026), will make its debut. The entire body of Umi Shinonome was scanned with the cooperation of SK Honpo, which is widely known in the 3D printer field. Based on the data, the modeling was done and finally completed after numerous brush-ups. The figure was manufactured by Kotobukiya, a well-known manufacturer of plastic models of beautiful girls. The parts are carefully divided to ensure both ease of assembly and painting. This kit is truly a "start book" worthy of its name. In this supplement to the May 2026 issue of Monthly Model Graphix, "Female Figure START BOOK Vol. 1," we provide a thorough explanation of how to build the wonderful Umi Shinonome Bunny Girl figure! It includes a wide range of painting methods, from easy painting methods that even beginners can easily try by utilizing the plastic modeling colors of the included plastic models, to painting methods for intermediate to advanced users, such as brush painting and paint-by-paint techniques. In addition, the magazine features a double-sided fold-out poster of Umi Shinonome, as well as gravure pictures that can be enjoyed as painting samples.
