While numerous figures have been released, there are by no means many works that make you feel in the very first instant, “This looks like it will look great on display.” In that regard, this “Azur Lane St. Louis: Race Queen Ver.” is precisely a piece that responds to those expectations. The gesture of St. Louis clad in a race queen outfit, lightly leaning her body against a case with an umbrella in one hand and turning back toward you, locks elegance and sexiness in an exquisite balance within quiet movement. Precisely because it is a natural standing pose rather than a bold posture, her adult composure and refined atmosphere stand out, resulting in a finish where a beautiful silhouette can be enjoyed from whichever angle it is viewed.

The highlight of this work is not only the overall level of completion. Clear parts are adopted for the gradient hair that conveys a sense of transparency, and receiving light generates a light impression in the hair. Additionally, the smooth body lines and the texture of her translucent white skin are delicately expressed, allowing you to fully enjoy the presence that can only be tasted in a three-dimensional work. Pearl painting is applied to the white-based coloring of the outfit, and because its look alters depending on the lighting and display location, being able to discover different beauties depending on the time of day and viewing angle is also one of its charms.

The sense of volume unique to a 1/7 scale with a total height of approximately 30 cm radiates a prominent presence even inside a collection case. Because it is a pre-painted complete product using PVC and ABS materials, the point that you can enjoy high-quality sculpting from the exact moment you take it out of the box is also a joyful point. Furthermore, because an interchangeable “excited face” is included, you can change her expression in accordance with your mood of the day or the display atmosphere, offering the fun of tasting different impressions despite being the same figure. An acrylic keychain is also bundled as a bonus, making it content that further heightens collectibility.

St. Louis is a popular character in “Azur Lane” who makes you feel an older-sister-like tolerance and composure. While possessing a mature atmosphere that gently leads the Commander, she also has a friendly side, and not a few fans are drawn to that exquisite sense of distance. On the other hand, her family-oriented personality is also impressive, and her kindness in treasuring her sisters and her attitude of caring for her comrades make her humanity something even deeper. In this figure, not only such tolerance and elegance, but even the glamour unique to a race queen outfit is carefully expressed, making it a work where you can fully savor the character's charm through expressions unique to three dimensions.

When choosing a figure, not only the reproducibility of the character but also the sense of satisfaction when displayed becomes important. This St. Louis: Race Queen Ver., with substantial content equipped with a beautiful sculpt, high-quality coloring, a size holding a presence, and even variation through expression parts, is overflowing with a charm that makes you want to appreciate it for a long time. Not to mention those who like Azur Lane, even for people searching for highly complete bishoujo figures, it can be described as a piece that will become the star of a collection. It is a figure whose highly satisfying finish, allowing you to discover new charms every time you look at it, leaves an impression.
