CyberZ has revealed a new Sword Art Online figure that will feature Sinon in her Crystal Dress. The company has also opened pre-orders for the figure, which will be part of the Shibuya Scramble Figure lineup, on the brand's web store at ¥27,500 (~$177.60).

The static figure will depict Sinon standing on a rocky terrain with one leg while wielding her signature sniper rifle. The figure will appear as-is in the package, as CyberZ does not mention any bonus exclusive items.

This figure will have a scale of 1/7. The overall dimensions for the whole figure set—including the base and other items like Sinon's rifle—stand at 293mm (11.54in) tall, 267mm (10.51in) wide, and 243mm (9.57in) deep.

Here are some of the sample images for the figure, taken from different angles.

The Shibuya Scramble Figure web store will exclusively sell the figure in Japan, and it will close the pre-order window on February 28, 2025. However, people residing outside Japan will also have a way to purchase the same figure, as CyberZ is working with AmiAmi to ship the packages worldwide.

CyberZ has been regularly producing figures modeled after characters from Reki Kawahara's Sword Art Online franchise. In late May 2024, the same company revealed that it will release a figure set of Yuuki and Asuna from the ending of the Mother's Rosario arc in May 2025.

The Sword Art Online figure of Sinon in her Crystal Dress will be available worldwide in January 2026.

CyberZ has revealed a new Shibuya Scramble Figure set featuring Ai Hoshino with baby Aqua and Ruby from Oshi no Ko. The company has also opened pre-orders for the figures on the brand's Japanese website. The figure set will be available at 30,250 yen (~$190.60).

All figures in this set will have the same scale of 1/7. Ai's figure will have a total height of around 255 mm (~10.04 in), which is counted from the thumb of her raised right hand. Meanwhile, the sitting baby Aqua and Ruby figures will be slightly less than 7 cm (~2.75 in) tall.

Here are some of the sample images for the new figures:

Oshi no Ko is still going strong in Japan, and many other companies have also been producing merchandise based on the franchise. Uniqlo will release new Oshi no Ko T-shirts in July 2024, while Anna Sui is working on a variety of items ranging from handkerchiefs to bags.

CyberZ will continue accepting pre-orders for the Shibuya Scramble Figure set of Ai Hoshino with baby Aqua and Ruby from Oshi no Ko until August 31, 2024. The company will ship the finished figures in June 2025.

CyberZ announced a new figure set in its Shibuya Scramble Figure line featuring the Sword Art Online characters Asuna and Yuuki. This Ending Version set is scheduled to release in late May 2025 in Japan, and it is currently available for pre-order on sites like AmiAmi in Japan. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]

The Asuna & Yuuki “Ending Version” figures are made from pre-painted PVC and are a 1/7 scale model. The dimensions are 262mm in height, 230mm in width, and 228mm in depth. The pre-order period for this figure begins on May 23, 2024. People can commit to early purchases of it until July 31, 2024. It will cost ¥38,500 ($245.32 USD).

This figure is designed to recreate one of the moments between Asuna and Yuuki from the Mother’s Rosario arc of the Sword Art Online anime. It depicts the two heroines in an embrace pulled from a well-known scene from the show. It is designed to focus on the two of them and does not include any additional accessories or effects.

Here is a closer look at how the figure will look once it is released:

eStream will release towels that look like Spell Cards from Yu-Gi-Oh. They’ll start appearing from mid-June 2023 as prizes that you can get from various Namco stores in Japan. The towels will likely be available as lottery prizes. [Thanks, PR Times!]

Each towel is around 120 centimeters long and 82 centimeters wide. There are three variations. You can either get Raigeki, Monster Reborn, or Polymerization. Monster Reborn will use the Japanese card art, which features an ankh from Egyptian mythology. As for the Polymerization card, it will use the more common version of the card art rather than the alternate (code 27847700) one.

Since they are prizes, it is unlikely that you will be able to choose which card you want. All three  cards have appeared since the start of the Yu-Gi-Oh card game. Some rulesets and games ether forbid or limit Monster Reborn and Raigeki, because they have powerful effects with virtually no drawback. So even though they’re familiar cards for longtime players, they’re not ones that can always go into your deck.

The Yu-Gi-Oh Spell Cards towels will be appear in Namco stores from mid-June 2023 as a prize. Other goods for Duel Monsters fans include a figure of Dark Magician Girl, which you can pre-order from Good Smile Company.
