While looking at it thinking, “What a cute girl figure,” right next to her is a large weapon case with a massive presence. What instantly lets you feel that “Goddess of Victory: NIKKE” flavor right then and there is the “Goddess of Victory: NIKKE Tia 1/7 Complete Figure.” This is an item that brings Tia, who belongs to the Dazzling Pearl squad, into three dimensions on a 1/7 scale, housing the contrasting elements of her calm, soft impression and the heavy equipment typical of a character surviving on the battlefield in a single figure. Rather than simply reproducing the character’s appearance, the key point is that the texture of the clothing, the color tones of the hair and skin, and even the sense of weight of the armament are finely crafted and distinguished. While preserving an atmosphere that makes you feel, “Tia is indeed this kind of character,” an amount of information that can only be enjoyed as a 3D object is added.

This product is a 1/7 scale pre-painted complete figure, with a total height of approximately 270 mm including the weapon case. PVC and ABS are used for materials, and the set includes the figure body and a dedicated base. The size of approximately 27 cm is a volume suitable for thoroughly gazing at the three-dimensional silhouette including not only Tia herself but also the surrounding equipment, and seems likely to become an eye-catching presence when displayed. Yadokari was in charge of the prototype, and Pakomaru handled the coloring. Because it is finished as a complete product, you can enjoy displaying the sculpt as it is, including detailed costume expressions and painting. It is also a nice point that a dedicated base is included, featuring specifications that allow you to appreciate it as a single finished exhibit, including the unique balance created by Tia and the large equipment. If you look at this figure up close, you will first want to thoroughly check the costume expressions. The blue cardigan worn by Tia is not merely painted on the surface; wrinkles unique to loose-fitting clothing are sculptured three-dimensionally, and even the knit pattern is finely carved. Clothing is a part that greatly affects the impression of the entire figure, but with the addition of details that evoke soft fabric and thickness, it naturally blends into the character’s gentle atmosphere. The color scheme where blue shines against pale-colored hair and skin is also beautiful, giving a soft impression when looking at the whole, while noticing the fineness of the sculpting when stepping closer. It is a part where you can enjoy different ways of viewing when gazing from afar versus observing at hand.

How to express the thinness of cloth in a three-dimensional object. This is an interesting point unique to figures, but in this product, an expression conscious of sheer texture is applied to the shirt portion. Of course, since real cloth isn't simply dressed onto it, the texture of the fabric must be conveyed through sculpting and painting. Therefore, through skillful coloring, the thinness of the shirt is visually rendered, resulting in a finish that conveys that it is a different material from the cardigan. Even within the same costume, the presentation is completely different between the cardigan with the knit pattern carved into it and the shirt expressing a thin texture through delicate painting. When looking at it while searching for these differences in expression methods for each material, there are new discoveries like, “They even differentiated it to this extent,” making the appreciation time itself interesting.

In contrast to Tia’s soft looks, the armaments are quite mechanical. In particular, with the addition of the large weapon case, not only cuteness as a character figure, but also a sense of tension reminiscent of the combat world of ”Goddess of Victory: NIKKE” is born. Sharp details are finely incorporated into the armaments, and furthermore, finished to evoke weight through painting conscious of realism, allowing you to enjoy the sculpting from a direction different from the costume. The contrast, which makes you think, “Is she really going to handle this large equipment?”, actually makes the character Tia look impressive instead. Moving your gaze to the rugged armaments after looking at the soft hair, skin, and clothing, the texture shifts greatly within a single figure. This contrast is likely a major highlight of this product.

In terms of display flexibility, attention should also be drawn to the specification allowing the chest to be reproduced in two types of states. Completed figures are basically meant for appreciating a set appearance, but with such options prepared, you can enjoy Tia’s appearance tailored to your preference. Because differences are also born in the impression received from the whole depending on which state you display her in, trying to select according to the display location or mood at that time is also good. While creating a single complete form in combination with the dedicated base, room is left for the owner themselves to choose the display method. This little bit of freedom becomes an unexpectedly delightful point for a figure enjoyed by displaying it for a long time.

Knowing what kind of person Tia is in the first place changes the enjoyment of looking at this figure as well. Tia is a humanoid appearing in ”Goddess of Victory: NIKKE,” a character who spends time as a student at M.M.R. High School while belonging to Dazzling Pearl. She possesses a bright personality, being hesitant to show fear even in the face of others’ emotions and opinions, and always showing a smile. For that reason, the soft air held by this figure does not look like mere sculptured cuteness, but overlaps with Tia’s own character traits. While being an inhabitant of a world themed around battle, her usual self also has an approachable student-like quality. If you look at the figure after knowing this dual nature, you should be able to feel even more of Tia’s identity in the combination of giant equipment and a gentle expression.

The appeal of the “Goddess of Victory: NIKKE Tia 1/7 Complete Figure” cannot be fully told by the single point that Tia’s cuteness was made into three dimensions. The blue cardigan shining against pale hair and skin, its knit pattern and natural wrinkles, the delicate sheer texture applied to the shirt, and contrastingly, the armaments showing a sharp and heavy finish. Added to that are elements such as the sense of size of approximately 270 mm and two types of chest expressions, completing it into a figure you will want to view from various angles. And above all, if you know her approachability in pampering Naga, her passion for pursuing sweets, her unexpected love for reptiles, and her special interest directed toward the Commander, you should be able to recall Tia’s daily life and events in the game from the sculpture before your eyes. Viewing it as a precise figure is good, and displaying it to feel the presence of a favorite character close by is also good. It is a complete figure true to Tia, allowing you to savor different charms—softness and strength—all at once.
