Pre-order guides and information for bishoujo figures and hobby goods
We're once again celebrating the end of Golden Week (Why would you do that?) with our annual installment of MGW Finds. Prepare to get hit with a bout of nostalgia for simpler times, for the most part. All figures are swimsuit figures and that's not the spoiler. Two special items are included this year!
Fu Hua Azure Empyrea Cerulean Court Ver. by miHoYo × APEX from Houkai 3rd is now available for pre-order. Fu Hua wears a luxurious white and lavender dress while adorned with pearls and ribbons for an elegant appearance. It’s not only her outfit that exudes elegance, but her ladylike pose, as she lifts the edge of her train while walking. She’s set for a December 2023 release.

Riding in on a black steed, comes quesQ’s Lancer/Altria Pendragon (Alter) Third Ascension bringing an ominous air from Fate/Grand Order. Her sharp gaze, desaturated colors, and despite that ominous air, undeniable sex appeal, is based on Ishida Akira’s artwork, brought into figure-form by Busujimax, Andou Kenji, and Ekoshi!

After showing off a lady with impressive presence last month, Kotobukiya finally opened pre-orders for their Rixia Mao hailing from Nihon Falcom’s over-arching “The Legend of Heroes” multi-media series. As always, product photos and the very best retailers are waiting ahead—even her bonus smiling expression.

Hailing from Jujutsu Kaisen, Kotobukiya’s ARTFX J Zen’in Maki with a stoic and no-nonsense expression is now available for pre-order with a February release. As with Nobara before her, Maki’s pose is one with the intent to attack, but not attacking yet. Her taut skirt’s numerous creases are impressively realistic both in design and how the light bounces off each of them. As a literal bonus, orders from Kotobukiya Shop and Kotous include an alternate grinning expression.
Though she’s regrettably injured, Reverse Studio’s gorgeous follow-up to their amazing OTs-14 Crassula volkensii is now in figure-form! She’s impressive on nearly every front, nearly every front, with her striking expression being the highlight. High-quality product photos for you to see her face and hair in detail await!
Orders have opened for another of OVERLORD’s Pleiades combat maids in Lupusregina β, as designed by series illustrator and character designer so-bin! Though a smaller 1/8th scale, she measures 280mm in height with her base. Product photos and more await!
HobbyMax’s rendition of Belldandy wearing a flowing pink dress as she plays the violin has been sculpted, painted, and is up for pre-order. Belldandy’s 1/8th scale, but including her column-like base, she measures around 370mm in height. She also has a number of charming points. One of them is how her expression has a perceived change in tone depending on the current angle. High-quality photos are ahead!

BellFine has opened pre-orders for their T-Doll AK-12 Smoothie Age ver. from Girls’ Frontline with an October release. Leaning against a fence with her surfboard beside her, AK-12 enjoys a bowl of some shaved ice. She’s based on the skin from the game which has been illustrated by Duoyuanjun. The original expression showing her suffering from brain freeze is also included.

From BEATLESS, the light novel with manga and anime adaptations, comes Good Smile Company’s Kouka! She’s based on the artwork of the original character designer, redjuice. Even though she’s of a smaller 1/8th scale, Kouka, including her base, measures around 320mm in height. And product photos show off the impressive detail in her sculpt and paintwork. Her unwieldly locks are gorgeous in both their design and maroon gradation.
