When gazing at figures, you sometimes come across works that make you surprised, thinking “Can a character's atmosphere be reproduced to this extent?”, and “Blue Archive Rio 1/7 Complete Figure” is truly such a single unit. With a completeness as if the calm and intellectual atmosphere shown in the game became 3D as is, it is finished so that not only expressing cuteness, but even the composure and dignity possessed by the person named Rio can be felt. From the moment it is displayed, it has a presence as if tightening the atmosphere of the space, possessing a charm that fans will want to gaze at again and again.

What catches the eye first is surely the serious look in her eyes. The sense of responsibility as the president leading the student council “Seminar” of Millennium Science School, and the strength to carry through her own beliefs naturally convey from her expression. Without forcibly emphasizing emotion, through exquisite sculpting that lets you feel a quiet power, the Rio-like atmosphere familiar from the game is carefully expressed. The contrast with long black hair and a white turtleneck is also beautiful, allowing you to firmly feel the character traits combining intelligence and elegance.

Taking advantage of the size unique to 1/7 scale with a total height of approx. 256mm, the point that fine parts of the costume are carefully sculpted cannot be missed either. While the suit based on black is summarized in calm color tones, the thickness and three-dimensionality of the fabric are beautifully expressed through gradation by delicate painting. Because stockings are also devised to convey the texture unique to the material rather than monotonous painting, being able to enjoy different expressions depending on how light hits is also appealing. Even the hairpin decorated on her hair imitating the Millennium school emblem is finely reproduced, and commitment to details further heightens the completeness of the entire work.

Rio is known as an excellent scientist and engineer, a person who acts looking ahead to the future of the entire academy while possessing rational judgment power. That character image overflowing with intelligence is firmly expressed in this figure as well, having strong persuasiveness even in a pose just standing. Because it is finished to let you feel Rio's charm through quiet standing alone without relying on unnecessary direction, people who have played the game should be convinced thinking “This is truly Rio”. Calmed adult charm that cannot be told by flashiness alone is fully packed.

This figure is not a collection that merely reproduced the character's appearance, but a work where commitment to express even the intelligence and nobility possessed by the person named Rio as a 3D figure can be felt everywhere. Techniques of prototype sculpting and coloring are attentive down to details, allowing you to realize careful work no matter which angle you gaze from. While cherishing the impression from the game, because it combines presence and a sense of luxury unique to scale figures, not to mention fans of “Blue Archive”, even for people looking for character figures with high completeness, it can be called a highly satisfying single unit to enjoy for a long time as a collection.
