When gazing at figures, there are works where you simply admire the beauty of the sculpting, and works where you can feel even a story there. “Racer Robot - Hoshi no Sora Aira 1/7 Complete Figure” is a single unit you want to call exactly the latter. It is a work that three-dimensionalized the robot girl “Aira” drawn by popular illustrator Mishune-shi challenging a grand space race, conveying a sense of speed and spirit of challenge from the moment you see it. It's not a figure just for displaying, but has a presence as if shaping even the strong will to “want to advance beyond this”, completing a unique worldview just by placing it on display.

Total height approx. 270mm, the power unique to 1/7 scale is extremely impressive. While the overall silhouette is stylish, the amount of information is also abundant, making it worth seeing whether viewed up close or from afar. The mechanical design carefully crafted down to details and delicate charm typical of a robot girl naturally fuse, coexisting in an exquisite balance of hard atmosphere and character-like softness. Being a pre-painted complete figure made of PVC, the point that you can enjoy completed quality the moment you take it out from the box is also appealing, becoming a finish with extremely high satisfaction as a collection.

Enjoying two different types of expressions through the included interchangeable face parts is also a point that cannot be missed. Even with the same pose, just changing the expression changes the atmosphere surprisingly, switching the impression according to the mood of the day or display scene. A figure making you feel strength is good, and directing a new side of the character with a different expression is also interesting, with specifications allowing multiple ways to enjoy while being a single unit making the fun of displaying even greater.

Aira is an existence chosen as the first generation experimental entry machine for the galactic scale “Hoshi no Sora Orbital Race” after conquering Earth's race circuits. The stages are courses beyond common sense, such as planetary orbits, boundaries of black holes, and abandoned space stations. Just picturing the figure running through such extreme environments at top speed makes the chest pulse high. The setting that what she aims for is not a victory trophy, but getting even closer to the starry sky is also truly impressive, strongly conveying character traits of continuing to chase dreams and admiration beyond victory. By knowing that background, you come to be able to feel a deeper meaning even in the figure's pose and expressions.

So much so that a cry saying “Speed is still not enough” seems audible, heat continuing to challenge limits is packed into this figure. Not ending with just being cute or just being beautiful, it has a power as if locking in energy to keep moving forward as it is. Not to mention people who like robot designs, it will be a single unit where high satisfaction can be obtained even for collectors gathering SF works, near-future mecha, and bishoujo figures. “Racer Robot - Hoshi no Sora Aira 1/7 Complete Figure”, combining masterpiece sculpting, expression changes through swapping, and a space-scale story into one, is a work holding charm that makes you want to gaze at it for a long time as the center of a collection.
