If you're a figure collector, you've likely already know of the popular curvaceous character, Super Sonico—the bubbly, pink-haired icon who made her debut in 2006 as the official mascot for Nitroplus's annual music festival, Nitro Super Sonic. Created by Tsuji Santa, Sonico quickly captured fans' hearts with her adorable looks, curvy figure, and charm. She started as a simple festival mascot, but due to love from fans, she grew into a full-blown media franchise, starring in music videos, manga series, video games, and even her own anime. By the time SoniAni: Super Sonico The Animation  aired in early 2014, her popularity had soared, cementing her place as a beloved character in Japanese pop culture. Super Pochaco - The First Plus-Size Anime Character from Nitroplus Super Pochaco (Pocha being an abbreviated Japanese word meaning chubby or overweight) was the first plus-size character introduced alongside Sonico in 2014. To this day, she remains one of the few attractive anime characters to be made into a figure with plus-size measurements. Her plus-size features translate well from her official 2D art to her 3D figures. She has thicker arms and wrists, legs and knees. Her stomach looks soft, and she's often portrayed with a muffin top. After Sonico, Pochaco had the most official merch created for her character. While her popularity has decreased over the last 10 years, new figures and character goods continue to be released and sell out. While her exaggerated chest size is the focal point of her character design, she also features wide hips, a chubby waist (with muffin-top details), and thick legs. Thanks to her unique proportions, Super Pochaco developed a dedicated fan following, despite having a short-lived role in the anime series. Super Taruco – A More Realistic Plus-Size Character Super Taruco made a brief appearance in 2016, during the peak popularity of the Nitroplus franchise. Her body type stood out as something truly unique for the time. Unlike Super Pochaco, her chest was more proportional to her body, and her stomach was larger. Designed with a more realistic, plus-size body type, Super Taruco's body has more soft features and body details we haven't seen in other characters. In her official 2D images, has a much larger and softer stomach than both Pochaco and Sonico. You can see soft rolls on her upper stomach and a subtle hang to the lower stomach - Taruco was designed to be truly plus size. Even her knees have realistic characteristics for this body type. Unfortunately, unlike Sonico and Pochaco, Super Taruco never had any official painted figures produced. The only existing figure is a garage kit that is unpainted and unassembled, making it somewhat difficult to find—especially in a pre-painted state. While the garage kit figure was a step forward for plus-size anime character designs, many of the softer details on her stomach as seen in her drawn art are lost. The figure instead draws more focus to her wide hips, and while she is still plus size, it does deviate from her intended look.

Available in sizes up to 8L (Japan) or 5XL (US), these pieces are designed to fit comfortably and look amazing on every body. With unique designs and trendy styles you won’t find in local plus-size stores—and at prices that won’t break the bank—these sweatshirts are perfect for updating your wardrobe this season.
