For figure enthusiasts, the “Orbit Girls” series is likely a familiar name. Its long-awaited second installment has finally arrived: “Akane Hinatsu.” Her commanding presence is enough to take your breath away at first glance. Standing approximately 450mm tall, this figure boasts meticulous sculpting and coloring down to the finest details. Even as a pre-painted completed product, such a level of perfection is rare to encounter. The combination of PVC and ABS materials enhances its presence and gives viewers a sense of excitement.

The greatest appeal of this figure lies in its exquisite color scheme. The metallic crimson unit parts and the abundantly used clear material of the suit create a stunning contrast. The vivid red catches the eye, while the light, futuristic transparency of the materials adds depth to the design. Though a combat suit, it exudes an air of mysterious beauty—a testament to the skillful character design by Nadare Takamine. The coexistence of stillness and motion, heaviness and lightness, creates a mesmerizing effect that captivates at every angle.

Another noteworthy feature is its interchangeable parts, allowing for a “cast-off” mode that completely transforms the figure’s appearance. This lavish design lets you enjoy multiple expressions in a single figure, making it perfect for both display and play. It balances the fierce combat style of wielding large dual guns with the softer atmosphere of the lightly armored version, and this contrast is undeniably charming.

The collaboration between sculptor Fortunation and painter Li is another highlight. The intricately crafted details and delicate coloring make it feel like a true work of art. Though three-dimensional, the figure gives the impression of an illustration that has leapt into reality. Its ability to reveal different moods depending on the viewing angle is a testament to the dedication of these talented creators.

More than just a beautiful girl figure, the Orbit Girls series presents an entire “worldview.” Akane Hinatsu embodies this universe and sparks the viewer’s imagination. Beyond the joy of collecting figures, it offers the added allure of imagining stories and creating your own settings. The passion and attention to detail poured into this figure make it a true symbol of next-generation figures.

—“Akane Hinatsu” is not merely a sculpted object. It is a “fragment of a story” with a presence that seems to speak softly to you. Add her to your collection, and your world will surely grow even richer.
