Some years back, I took up mountaineering to gain mental stability. Yet the only thing I’ve gained is financial instability. Trying to fill a hole only to dig it deeper is a sentiment plenty of gacha players know well, especially those who play Azur Lane. One day, you’re spending pocket change to buy your oshi’s newest costume. The next, you’re spending half a grand on a collector’s figure. Sometimes, it do be like that. But the quality of some Azur Lane collector’s figures fully justifies those expenses. And if you’re a ship girl stan and you’re looking for something fancy, our newest preorders are the centerpiece you’re looking for.
Azur Lane Collector’s Figures — Hobby Max Japan’s Ying Swei Snowy Pine’s Warmth Figure
Some scenes have an ephemeral existence, while others stay with you forever. The ones that leave you breathless don’t follow you to the grave. However, it’s the moments that remind you to keep breathing. Those moments are difficult to portray. It’s like trying to describe fireworks: No matter what you do, you’ll fail. Yet Nehei eloquently encapsulates the ethereality of moments like that when they sculpted the Ying Swei Snowy Pine’s Warmth Figure.
Though the gelid winter surrounds her, Ying Swei radiates a welcoming warmth with her mirthful smile and loving eyes. Her expression is that of a lover seeing their partner after a long time apart. Ying Swei’s flowing robes and long hair blend into the snow-covered pine behind her, giving one the illusion they stumbled onto a deity that’s only briefly inhabiting the world of man.
This enchanting 1/7 scale Azur Lane collector’s figure by Hobby Max Japan measures 11″ (28 cm). The meticulously crafted base comes with the figure. And while I may talk about it as an addition, it’s so elegant that many would buy it as a stand-alone decoration piece. Otaken worked on the color production. Its vibrant contrasts and inviting palette are commendable. The Ying Swei Snowy Pine’s Warmth Figure retails for $250. You can preorder her or find more info here. This purchase comes with 500 reward points.
Good Smile Arts Shanghai’s Shinano Dreams of the Hazy Moon 1/7 Figure
Good Smile Company is a company that’s well known for its figures. You know it has impeccable quality if it’s a GSM figure, no matter the price range. We can see GSM’s dedication to quality in the Shinano Dreams of the Hazy Moon figure. If one were to describe this Azur Lane collector’s figure, the most fitting description would be “refined.”
This figure features the Sakura Empire’s aircraft carrier in formal nightwear while she leisurely sips a glass of wine. Set against a crescent moon background, the elegance of this piece reminds one of balmy summer nights where cherished company and stiff drinks were all one needed. Shinano’s relaxed pose and extended tail blend into this figure’s base. Melon Soda’s metallic tones and the base’s gradients bring a minimalist touch to an extravagant figure. I could point to any part of this figure to exalt Yiram’s sculpting work. But the detail on this Azur Lane collector’s figure’s drink shelf seriously impressed me. A master craftsman gives that much love to something so simple.
The 1/7 scale figurine measures 13” (33 cm) and retails for $299. Preorder her or find more info on it here. Purchasing her comes with a 598 reward point bonus!
Azur Lane Collector’s Figures — Chao Ho Plum Blossom’s Illumination 1/7 Scale Figure
A sister figure to Hobby Max Japan’s Ying Swei figure, the Chao Ho Plum Blossom’s Illumination figure takes a more relaxed approach to its overall vibe. This figure features the Sakura Empire light cruiser against a background of a Japanese-styled door and Sakura blossoms. Chao Ho’s flustered pose and distant expression mirror the restlessness of spring. The snow on the rim of the figure’s bowl reminds us that time changes while always carrying what has passed with it.
Nihei sculpted this Azur Lane collector’s figure, which, while a tad more spartan than Ying Swei’s, is no less stunning. The night sky colors on Chao Ho’s robes are so realistic that they make you feel you’re gazing at the heavens. The Sakura blossom on the figure’s elaborate base harmoniously enhances Chao Ho’s outfit. While none of these Azur Lane collector’s figures are ecchi or pervy, Chao Ho’s can appeal to people who like a sensual touch to their collectibles. Her tights delicately cover her shapely legs. And since her pose brings one’s attention to them, it’s hard to look away.
Chao Ho’s Plum Blossom’s Illumination figure lounges at 11” (28 cm) and retails for $250. You’ll get a hefty 500 reward points when you preorder this figure.
Azur Lane Collector’s Figures — Worth Every Penny
Some may fault spending $100 or more on what some call PVC dolls. But we’re not so crass. What one person sees as an unnecessary expense is a reason to smile for someone else. I have plenty of figures in my room, and even on bad days, I’ll smile when I look at my Chocola and Megumin figures. Could I have used that money for something else? Sure. Could I have used it for something better? Absolutely not. One can’t put a price on a smile. So, let your smile thrive by getting one or all the Azur Lane collector’s figures.
