This review features the 1/6 scale figure of Sakuya Izayoi, produced by MAGI ARTS. Sakuya is a human character from the Touhou Project series, known for her ability to manipulate time. She first appeared as the Stage 5 Boss in Touhou Koumakyou: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, and has since reappeared as a playable character in multiple titles.
Box Art & Packaging
The figure comes in a printed box featuring the character art.
Inside, the parts are securely held in a blister tray.
Main Body Display
The figure is built at 1/6 scale, standing approximately 32 cm tall. The Deluxe Edition includes two additional red-eyed faceplates.
Detail Highlights
There are three interchangeable faceplates—one blue-eyed and two red-eyed. Each is beautifully sculpted and visually appealing. Personally, the blue-eyed version stands out as it better complements the outfit’s color palette. The hair strands have sharp definition and pearlescent paint for a soft shimmer.
The throwing knives and pocket watch feature precise paintwork and molded detail. The knives need to be manually attached—removing the arms first makes this easier.
The short hair features a gentle color gradient.
The gold-painted lanyard has tight sculpted patterns.
Inside the pocket watch, the clock hands and internal details are clearly visible.
Sakuya wears her signature short-skirt maid uniform, with a tight waist design that highlights her figure.
The bust size is notably generous.
The back of the figure also reveals well-sculpted skin, with a soft and natural paint tone.
The skirt itself has strong dynamic flow, with elegant folds and a subtle shadow gradient on the white fabric to enhance texture.
Attached to her waist chain are two small sculpted keys.
Bow details
Its flowing ribbon tails give a sense of grace and movement.
The golden circular motif on the base reflects Sakuya’s time-controlling abilities, with Roman numerals forming a carved relief. The blue parts are painted with a galaxy-like gradient effect.
The legs are clad in white thigh-high socks paired with brown high boots.
The boot laces and button details are nicely executed, and the boots feature shadow paint to replicate leather texture.
Even the straps near the upper thighs are fully sculpted.
And yes, the view under the skirt is… quite captivating.
It’s white!
The base itself is a circular mirror-effect stand with black-and-white color blocking.

Conclusion
Each of the three included faceplates has its own appeal. The blue-eyed version feels elegant and cool, while the red-eyed variants bring a more lively and playful expression. Both color schemes are canon from different branches of the Touhou series, so it’s great that the figure allows you to choose how you want to display her. The knife-throwing pose looks bold and confident, and the slightly twisted body posture along with the flowing skirt give the whole figure a strong sense of movement. In terms of paintwork, the skin tone is fair and gentle, while the outfit features just the right amount of shadow gradient to bring out texture.
All in all, this is a highly recommended figure for any Sakuya Izayoi fan. Whether you’re drawn to Sakuya’s elegance or her deadly accuracy, this MAGI ARTS figure captures both sides with refined execution. With its dynamic pose, sculpted accessories, and thoughtful extras, this release is easily one of the strongest portrayals of the time-controlling maid yet.
