A new figure what is likely the most popular Strike Witch, Sanya V. Litvyak, is on the way from maker Kotobukiya and will likely prove to be a must-buy for all true Sanya fans.
Kotobukiya’s official name for this 1/8 PVC figure is: ストライクウィッチーズ サーニャ・V・リトヴャク / Strike Witches Sanya V. Litvyak.
She stands about 215mm tall including her base, and was sculpted by 槙尾宗利 / Munetoshi Makio, a fine sculptor whose earlier works include the Nanako Loli Nekomimi Sukumizu figure.
The first thing to come to be noticed is Sanya’s tilted pose (with legs askance), and the metal pole required to keep her upright.
Aside from the distracting pole required (and one other flaw to be addressed later), the rest of the figure looks to have an excellent sculpt.
These propeller blades are one of two sets included – realistically metallic stationary ones are shown in later photos.
Also note what is probably the best part of the figure: Sanya’s cunningly conceived underwear lines!
Kotobukiya here uses one of their standard, with deep black fitting Sanya’s outfit fairly well.
The rear of the figure doesn’t seem to merit any particular comments, as her clothing, tail and ears all look excellent.
A closer look at her brings up a bit of a concern…
The face does not do a great job of invoking the Russian loli’s features, perhaps because of the eye’s smallness and distance from each other.
In a reminder of what Sanya looks like is required, here she is:
In any case, most figure collectors eventually grow a tolerance for these sort of inaccuracies, and the Kotobukiya Sanya is sure to draw much attention regardless, taking into consideration the quality of the overall work.
Finally, this is merely unconfirmed rumour by those who have touched sample review versions of Sanya, but it may be possible to remove the metal pole and swap the pod on her left leg with one minus the mounting hole in the final version.
If that turns out to be true, it would be helpful for those who find the pole too distracting, although Sanya’s pose would make displaying her lacking the support troublesome.
Painting the pole black might also help.
The Kotobukiya Sanya V. Litvyak is available for international pre-order now.

nice angle!!!
good position, I want touch here ^^
I prepared my misil 8=====D
What a face. They really should have tried harder.
i think this is good enough
*shrugs* For good or bad, this is what we call (Koto)Bukiya-Quality...
Most of the time it's pretty much just acceptable level, not good, but not terribly bad.
Doesn't look like her :(
They fucked up with the face. That aint sanya, thats a imitation called svanya.
But it +does+ look like her. If you want to get technical about it, then blame it on the character designer for coming out with generic anime/manga faces. To my eyes the figure looks almost exactly like the one in the picture. They're both no nose, small mouth, no teeth and giant eyes.
eh... her eyes should be more rounded and I think the mouth is too big. She has an almost angry look when she always had a somewhat indifferent look on her face no matter what was going on.
deliciousssssssssssssssss...........
like
candY?
Those legs really turn me off
But my Busou Shinki Asuka is hawt, just like Strike Witches
:3
yeah.delicious loli venom!
so detailed,even her pussi
thats japan for ya
shut up. :|
Give it time, Japan will lose that freedom too -.-
yummy
Well, that certainly is some pose she's got there.
I love Sanya but this figure... dunno it's just meh... Still cheers for the effort I guess
Nice view. I like me some cameltoe.
1st it is Yoshika now it is Sanya. I wish there are more to come especially a Lynne or a Lucchini one :3
If it's nekomimi, it could be banned.
As a loli, it could be banned.
But a robot-animal-like loli?
No worries, Sanya will blow those feminists to ashes with her canon(?)..
It's a rocket launcher, but of course the effect will be the same...
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
Long live to loli!!
And this figure of Sanya..... It "striked me"!! *drools*
This is a must have!!
*controling is hand to not fap*
Kotobukiya surely knows the actual Demographic of Pantsu Witches ^^
C'mon!! Give me Eila and Perrine too...~!!!
I am pretty sure that they on the (flight line) and on the way!
Amen. They both are on no.4 (Eila) and no.5 (Perrine) places in the Popularity ranking so we can expect them after they released Lucchini and Lynette (soon).
what a pose :3
I'd say it'll look good on my bookshelf.
I KNOW she'll look good on MY bookshell
I *knew* this was going to happen!
Thats why I said (save) those extra $100 each month... because the other Witches will be on the way.
Not too bad actually, I like it, and it would look nice once all the other Witches are together...
Fuckin' Preordered :D
me too
i just saw this on j-list this morning and i was really hoping to see that camel toe action better. thus sankaku delivers once again. i would not mind if there was a sankaku sticker i could put on my car for awesomesauce.
Is it necessary for the legs to splayed that much?
Yes.
Damn I had the page open too long and you beat me to it. :(
Well... i guess thats ok then.
Yes.
it looks like a superb figure
Those two are the only flaws I could find as well.
that face doesn't match with Sanya
i prefer ALTER making sanya...
oh please ALTER, make sanya after yoshika!
造形は良いと思うけど、顔が微妙。。。

A new miss open-wide has born.
nice nice i like it ^^
Holy crap you could see that cameltoe from space
do definitely want.
The massive cameltoe kind of takes away from the figure. Some would say her legs being so wide open is necessary, but... I think it takes away from everything else. Now that's all ppl will look at. :|
Like fuck, it's so damn wide open. It looks bad.
Then again, I am a girl, I think cameltoes are gross rather than sexy. Seriously aghhaghh. I guess I'll never understand.
The face makes her look like some bootleg of what a real Sanya figure should look like...Comeon Alter show em how its done.
Saw this on Hobbysearch last night, and I must agree: DELICIOUS :3
the face looks kind of different, but the figure is still great, i want one
I'm disappointed...at least in the series for the most part she had that little skirt and black stockings that added a little mystery to her and also a little classiness.
This is blatant in your face, almost feels like the character's been degraded...
Ah nvm...
I see a gray pole and I want to paint it black...
What this really needs is an accompanying figure of Eila demanding that you stop looking at Sanya.
I'd love some Lasanya...
Mmm what a burgershot.
looks alright but i don't like her expression. it's not really approperiate for sanya as a more calmer face would be better for the character.
in terms of strike witches figures, i'd have to say the miyafuji from alter is the best so far.
so like, where is my mio figure already gaiz?
