Taito featured multiple Spiritale figure reveals at WonFes 2025 Winter, and one of them ended up being a first look at the cute Bridget figure based on her Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R appearance. This is the first time an actual physical version of this product appeared, as the company only previously shared concept and announcement art. 

This figure will be a 1/7 scale model. That means it will probably be between eight and ten inches tall when it is finished. She has her nun’s coif and veil on her head and is wearing her blue and white dress. Her yo-yo is in her left hand. Roger the teddy bear is behind her. Her handcuff is also around her waist, as usual. The design is intended to replicate official art of the character from Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R.

Here’s how the Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R figure of the character is looking so far:

Spiritale released another Guilty Gear Bridget figure not too long ago. However, that one was based on her Guilty Gear Strive look. It debuted in March 2024 worldwide. That was also a 1/7 scale figure, and it stood at over 10 inches tall.

There’s no release window for this Spiritale Bridget figure yet, and Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R is available on the Switch, PS3, Vita, Xbox 360, and PC.

As part of Wonder Festival 2024 Summer, Taito highlighted three My Hero Academia figures of Himiko Toga, Tsuyu “Froppy” Asui, and Rumi “Mirko” Usagiyama. They are all at various stages of development, with the Himiko statue being the furthest along. 

The Himiko My Hero Academia figure appeared as a painted prototype for the first time at the event. This is a more casual take on the character. She’s wearing her duffel coat and wielding a knife. However, the bag she’s carrying on her left arm shows her equipment for when she’s acting a villain in a more formal capacity. It’s a 1/7 scale figure.

The V Jump social media shared additional figures of it on display.

The Froppy My Hero Academia Spiritale figure is only at the unpainted phase of development. Like Himiko, it is a 1/7 scale figure. She’s completely dressed in her hero attire, and the active design features her tongue out as she leaps from a piece of rubble. 

Again, V-Jump shared additional photos of that figure on display as well.

As for the Mirko My Hero Academia figure, it will probably be a while before we see that 1/7 scale statue. Only an announcement came up for her. It showed her art and a possible pose. 

Taito is working on the My Hero Academia Himiko, Froppy, and Mirko figures and, while there are no release dates, we should see Himiko first. The manga is about to end in August 2024, and Viz Media handles it outside Japan. The anime is streaming on Crunchyroll.

At Wonder Festival 2024 Summer, one of Taito’s Spiritale announcements involved a new Sakura Hatsune Miku figure of the Vocaloid in a kimono. It is still very early in development, as only concept art appeared.

Here’s the official announcement. It mainly confirmed that the scale figure is in development. There’s also a full piece of concept art included alongside the first image, which gives us a better idea of how the full statue could look. She’ll be carrying a matching purse, and it seems like her hair will have some gradation and start to change colors near the bottom of her twintails.

A more standard Sakura Miku option is available now. FuRyu released a noodle stopper figure of the Vocaloid.

The concept art for the Spiritale Sakura Miku figure is done by Hamunezuko. The artist is known for Jellyfish Can't Swim In The Night art. Back in September 2023, Hamunezuko Hatsune Miku art was used for imagery and merchandise for a Mint Heim collaboration cafe. A video of that is still available on Instagram.

The Taito Spiritale Sakura Miku kimono figure is in development, and there’s no release window for when we might get to see it next yet.

Spiritale opened pre-orders for a new figure of Bridget from Guilty Gear Strive based on her purple alternate color scheme. The new 1/7 scale figure costs 24,970 yen (or about $158.15) and it is scheduled to release on January 2025. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]

Pre-orders for the new GGSV Bridget purple version figure close on September 2, 2024. The figure depicts Bridget in her default pose from her Guilty Gear Strive key art, but the colors are drastically changed. For example, her hair is a paler shade of platinum blonde and her eyes are red. In addition, her top is black sporting a white collar, inverted from her original base color scheme.

Back in April 2023 Spiritale opened pre-orders for a similar figure of Bridget based on her original color scheme, and it released  on March 2024 in Japan.

Taito’s Spiritale announced that pre-orders for the new Hatsune Miku Polaris figure will open in October 20, 2023. The figure costs 35,200 yen (or about $235), and is set to release in May 2024. It will be available from the Spiritale online store, and pre-orders will close on December 18, 2023.

The figure is on a 1/7 scale, and its dimensions are 30cm tall (including the base), 24cm wide, and 26cm long. The design is based on the song “Starly Start,” composed by Kairiki Bear and released in 2022 for Miku’s 15th anniversary. Popular artist Rella designed Miku’s design for the song. (You can find Rella’s work at Pixiv.)

Check out the new Hatsune Miku “Polaris” figure as well as Rella’s original artwork in more detail here:

Good Smile Company previously announced a 15th Anniversary figure of Hatsune Miku in September 2022. For Hatsune Miku’s 16th anniversary, Seiko announced the release of a watch based on the popular Vocaloid idol back in July 2023. Additionally, a birthday exhibition celebrating Miku’s 16th anniversary ran in Japan between August 5, 2023 and September 10, 2023.

The new Hatsune Miku Birthday 2022 “Polaris” version figure costs 35,200 yen (~$235). It will release in May 2024, and pre-orders will be available between October 20 and December 18, 2023 from the Spiritale online store.

The queen is ready to come home—Spiritale will open up pre-orders for a 1/7 scale figure of Bridget as she appears in Guilty Gear Strive. You will be able to pre-order it from Spiritale from April 14, 2023 to June 26, 2023. She is posing like she does in her character art for Strive, and the figure will come with Roger.

Because pre-orders are not open yet, Spiritale does not yet have a page for the Guilty Gear Strive Bridget figure. However, for reference, Spiritale does not natively offer international shipping. So overseas customers who want to purchase the Bridget figure may need to use AmiAmi or a proxy service in order to buy her.

Since there is no page open yet for the Bridget figure, there aren’t a lot of details about the material or her dimensions. But in the picture, we can see that the sculpt looks very close to her in-game render. Her baggy coat, which replaces and modernizes her old nun outfit, still billows behind her. It seems like Roger is part of the stand that the figure will come with, rather than a separate item.

Pre-orders for the 1/7 scale Guilty Gear Strive Bridget figure will run from April 14, 2023 to June 26, 2023.

It's March 9th, which means it's Miku Day, a day for Hatsune Miku fans to celebrate the iconic Vocaloid character. That also means that Taito opened pre-orders for a special Spiritale Hatsune Miku Miku Day figure. The figure distribution is limited to the Taito Online Store in Japan and costs 35,200 Yen (about $259 USD).

The Hatsune Miku Miku Day Figure is formally named the "Hatsune Miku 39's Special Day" figure. Since "3" and "9" can be read as "Mi-ku" in Japanese, that's also why March 9th is celebrated as Miku day. The figure itself is made from PVC, and stands at 240mm tall (about 9.45 inches). The figure design recognizes Miku's status a member of Vocaloid royalty, as she's wearing a European-style royal mantle, and regalia. Like other Spirital PVC scale figures, the 39's Special Day figure is manufactured with a special technique designed to emphasize smooth skin textures.

The Hatsune Miku Miku Day figure's regalia includes a scepter, orb, and a crown. The designs seem to be patterned after the real-life crown jewels of the United Kingdom. She wears her mantle over a version of her classic outfit, and sits on the arm of a throne festooned with flowers. Her overall design is based on a 2D illustration by artist iXima.

Pre-orders for the figure are open from March 9, 2023 until May 8, 2023. It costs 35,200 Yen (about $259 USD), and will ship in September 2023. Other items on offer for Miku Day 2023 include apparel, stationery, and other character goods.

This new Bridget figure matches the appearance of the character in Guilty Gear Strive, down to sharing the same pose as her official key art. In the picture shared by Spiritale, she’s seen carrying Roger. That is her mechanized teddy bear that houses the spirit of a ghost, who also happens to be her weapon of choice.

In other Guilty Gear Strive news, the game included the option for cross-play in a patch released on December 15, 2022. Since the release of the patch, players on PS4, PS5, or PC can play together. The option for cross-play is on by default, but players can manually turn the option off in their settings if they want to opt out of it. Sin Kiske is the second character in the Season 2 DLC of the game, released in November 24, 2022.

Guilty Gear Strive is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. Xbox One and Xbox Series X versions are currently in development.

Spiritale released new images of some of its figure designs, one of which is Shionne from Tales of Arise. It's not just any figure of Shionne though, as the character is wearing a special costume only included in the Costume Pack DLC. The scale figure is in development, and there is no confirmed release date.

The costume, titled "SW-EQ02F" in-game, is one of a pair of Bandai Namco-commissioned costumes. Popular Japanese freelance illustrator SWAV designed costumes for both Alphen and Shionne in a futuristic style. Bandai Namco included the outfits in the Costume Pack DLC along with matching hairstyles.

Spiritale announced the figure as part of the ongoing WonFes Winter 2022 event. However, details are still scarce. For now, we know that it will be a scale figure based on the released design. Other announcements from Spiritale include various figures of Hatsune Miku, as well as characters from My Hero Academia and Atelier Ryza 2.

Tales of Arise originally released in September 2021. Since then, the game's characters have appeared in a range of merchandise and figures. Late last year, Kotobukiya revealed images of Alphen and Dohalim figure prototypes. It is also developing a figure of Rinwell, as well as poseable plushies of all the major playable characters.

Tales of Arise is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. The Tales of Arise Shionne figure from Spiritale is in development. There is no confirmed release date.

Two new figures of Himiko Toga and Ochako Uraraka from My Hero Academia will Taito's Spiritale line. Work-in-progress images of the two figures were revealed at the company's Wonder Festival 2021 Online event. The presentation also featured various other figures from series such as Atelier Ryza and Re: Zero, as well as a birthday figure of Hatsune Miku. There is currently no confirmed release date or price for the new figures.

Himiko is in her villain attire from the anime and manga. She is sitting on a pile of destroyed stuffed animals, toys, and snacks. Her design is based on the cover of chapter 227 of the My Hero Academia manga.

Ochako is levitating in mid-air through the use of her Zero Gravity quirk. Similarly, she wears her official hero costume. Rubble will serve as the figure's stand.

Both Himiko and Ochako will be scale figures, though the reveal doesn't specify at what scale they will be. As the two figures are in development, they are currently unpainted and do not represent the final product. Taito stated that further information about the two figures will be announced at a later date.

Spiritale has revealed an 1/7 scale figure of Pretty Rabbit Hatsune Miku for her 2021 birthday. hakusai provided the illustration for the design, and this version of Hatsune Miku is the poster girl for DECO*27’s “Jump Up,” a song composed in commemoration of Miku’s 14th anniversary. While the song is available on YouTube, there is no set release date for the Pretty Rabbit Hatsune Miku Birthday 2021 figure just yet.

Pretty Rabbit Hatsune Miku wears a frilly pink dress and she has a blue birthday banner around her chest. Aside from the bunny ears and her signature pigtails, she also has a black rabbit attached to her birthday banner. In addition, some of the balloons around her are shaped like rabbits. She looks to be in the middle of jumping, with her arms up like she is pretending they are bunny ears.

Last year, the Hatsune Miku Birthday 2020 ~Sweet Angel~ 1/7 scale figure opened up their pre-orders on October 1, 2020, with a release date of August 2021. This may mean that the Pretty Rabbit Hatsune Miku figure will be available for pre-order in October 2021 and come out in August 2022. However, Spiritale will post on their Twitter of the exact dates and price. The Sweet Angel 2020 Hatsune Miku figure was 21,780 JPY. Other Hatsune Miku figures include a My Little Pony collaboration and a "Land of the Eternal" figure.

The 1/7 scale, Hatsune Miku Birthday 2021 ~Pretty Rabbit~ figure will be available for pre-order in the future. DECO*27’s commemorative song “Jump Up” is on YouTube.

Limited pre-orders for a giant Hatsune Miku plush are now open in Japan. The plush from Taito's Spiritale brand will cost ¥66,000 (about $600), with a limited supply of 100 units. Pre-orders will end on November 8, or until supplies last, and ship at the end of March 2022. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]

The Hatsune Miku plush is based on a design by artist Megumi Mizutani. Weighing in at around 13 kilograms (about 28 pounds) and 3 feet tall, it is reportedly one of the largest Miku plushes ever sold. The plush features the Vocaloid singer in a sitting position, flanked by two large plush twin tails. It even recreates the more minor details, such as Miku's headset and hair bands.

Though announced as a part of Hatsune Miku's 14th "birthday" anniversary, the release also marks the 1-year anniversary of Spiritale's founding. Similar to last year, Spiritale is also releasing a new Miku figure based on this year's Pretty Rabbit birthday design. Furthermore, the company is also hosting a follow and retweet campaign on Twitter where one winner will receive the giant Hatsune Miku plush for free.

Taito’s Spiritale Korone Inugami figure will be available outside Japan. However, it will cost people. Square Enix is taking pre-orders for the Hololive Gamers Vtuber in its official storefront. Should people want this statue, it will cost them $269.99 to pre-order it. In Japan, she costs ¥20,680.

There will also be a bit of a delay between release dates. In Japan, this Korone figure pre-orders will ship out sometime in January 2022. People in the US will have to wait until about March 2022. However, Square Enix did note that the window could change.

Square Enix’s listing also offered more details and pictures of the new Korone figure. She’s just over 10 inches tall and wears her standard outfit. She also has various baked goods on her base, calling back to her bakery home. It says “Yubi yubi!” as well, which is how she greets people when she begins streaming.

Here’s a closer look at the Spiritale Korone figure from multiple angles.
[gallery columns="9" ids="889977,889969,889971,889970,889975,889974,889976,889972,889973" link="file"]

Another figure of her might be on the horizon soon. At WonHobby 33, Good Smile Company shared the unpainted prototype of the Pop Up Parade figure of Korone. That will cost $38.99 when orders open.

The Spiritale Korone Inugami figure will begin shipping to Japan in January 2022 and to the US in March 2022.

Taito finally offered a better look at the Spiritale Korone Inugami figure ahead of its pre-orders opening. People can now see the full figure. Then, on June 25, 2021, orders for the ¥20,680 (~$187) figure will open. The official site says it is expected to ship sometime in January 2022.

Taito announced this 1/7th Korone figure back at Wonder Festival 2021 [Winter]. At the time, only concept art showing her pose, which looks like she’s about to steal fingers, appeared. She is wearing her standard hololive outfit in the figure.

This Korone Spiritale figure references her backstory too. The idea is that she’s a dog who lives in a bakery. So, on her base you can see a chocolate cornet, melon pan, a croissant, and a loaf of bread.

While this figure is a bit more expensive and only confirmed for Japan for now, there are other options. For example, Good Smile Company announced a quartet of hololive Gamers Pop Up Parade figures at WonHobby 33. This is its budget line of figures where each one costs under $40. A Korone figure is among those confirmed.

The Spiritale Korone Inugami figure pre-orders will open in Japan on June 25, 2021. She’ll ship out in January 2022.

New VTuber merchandise is on the way. There will be a figure of Hololive’s Korone. Spiritale revealed it as part of its Wonder Festival 2021 [Winter] announcements. (The event went digital this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.)

Given how early it is in development, there’s no Korone prototype yet. The figure announcement included an image of her that looks ready to take viewers’ fingers. It is confirmed to be a 1/7th model. However, people will have to wait to learn more about it and perhaps see unpainted and painted prototypes.

Here’s the teaser art for the Korone figure.

Companies referenced Korone in quite a few video games worldwide lately. DOOM Eternal added an Easter egg that is a shout out to her and her DOOM streams. She is also one of the VTubers who shows up in Neptunia Virtual Stars. That will be heading to the PS4 and PC outside Japan in March 2021.

As for other Spiritale WonFes 2021 [Winter] announcements, there will be an Atelier Ryza 2 figure of her in a swimsuit, we’ll see Re:Zero’s Emilia and Rem, Millim from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, and Kurumi from the Date A Live spin-off Date A Bullet will be immortalized too.

The Korone figure is in development. You can watch her streams on her Korone Ch. YouTube channel.
