The moment I saw it, I instinctively felt that this was no ordinary character figure. Mihara - Pain Eater from “Goddess of Victory: NIKKE” has been sculpted by FuRyu’s “F:NEX” brand. With a height of 210mm and a convenient 1/7 scale, its presence is overwhelming. Beauty and madness, seductiveness and purity coexist in exquisite balance, resulting in a completion truly worthy of the name “Goddess Who Loves Pain.” Her gentle smile carries a shadow, exuding a mysterious charm that unsettles the viewer's heart.

What is astonishing about this figure is that it’s not just posing. The sculpting is the handiwork of Moineau, and the coloring by Nana Moriyama, meticulously reproducing Mihara’s delicate fingertips, toes, and the twist of her waist. The costume design is daring, yet features an interweaving that suggests a certain fragility, showing a thorough dedication to the texture of the material. The sculpting of the thorns entwined around the chair is particularly breathtaking, as if the entire figure is telling the story of Mihara’s inner world.

Understanding Mihara's character deepens the appeal of this figure. At first glance, she appears to be a pure and perfect long-haired, black-haired beauty. However, her true essence is that of a Nikke with a unique aesthetic who loves even pain and finds pleasure in suffering. Constantly seeking stimulation, both mentally and physically, she is an existence that cannot be contained by merely being “beautiful.” Therefore, combined with her seductive appearance, she radiates a powerful individuality. It is surprising how deeply this character background is infused into the three-dimensional expression of the figure.

Displaying this figure is not merely placing a character; it is like adding a story to the space. Even the relationship between Mihara and her close friend Yuni—a co-dependent dynamic of sadist and masochist—can be sensed in the background of the sculpt. The overall design, including the base, condenses her daily life of fighting, agonizing, enjoying, and suffering, resulting in a composition that offers new discoveries the more you look at it.
