(1/7-asteikko Figuuri) Atelier Ryza Reisalin Stout: Late-Night Alchemist Ver.

Was hesitant to preorder a figure that far out, but the wait was worth it. The paint work on her outfit and the late-night expression are incredibly detailed, and the clear stand keeps her perfectly in that leaning pose without any wobble.

The included stand is a lifesaver since she won't balance on her own, but once she's set up, the late-night alchemist pose feels really dynamic. The PVC and ABS paint job has a nice matte finish that catches the light well, and for a 1/7 scale she's got a solid presence on my shelf.

She’s absolutely stunning in person—the paintwork on her outfit and that late-night expression are way more detailed than the photos show. Just a heads-up, she needs the stand to stay upright, but once she’s displayed, she’s a gorgeous centerpiece. Worth the wait for September.
