【Azur Lane Bismarck Uniform ver.】Made into a 3D figure in formal attire with the 7th anniversary illustration as a motif! Let's enjoy the charm of Bismarck, whose dignified elegance and gorgeousness are designed on a 1/7 scale!

Speaking of Bismarck from Azur Lane, she is a character with an impressive dignified posture and overwhelming presence. Showing a gorgeous figure a bit different from usual is “Azur Lane Bismarck Formal Wear ver. 1/7 Complete Figure”. This product appearing from FuRyu's high-quality hobby brand “F:NEX” is a 3D figure of Bismarck in formal attire with the 7th anniversary illustration as a motif. Calm elegance and the gorgeousness of a special day are condensed into a single sculpture to the extent of making one feel “The air seems to change the moment this is displayed”. On a 1/7 scale, with total height excluding the pedestal being about 250mm, the presence allowing you to thoroughly appreciate the character's beauty is also a charm.

What draws the gaze first would be the costume based on chic black. Against the color scheme with a sense of weight, it is carefully colored so that soft, healthy skin stands out, not ending with just a simple impression of a “black dress”. Precisely because of the calm costume, the warmth of the skin stands out, letting you feel elegant femininity within the strength Bismarck possesses. The person in charge of coloring is Tsukiyanagi. By finely painting different elements such as costume, skin, and decorations separately, a gorgeousness as if jumping out from the illustration is created. Not using a large amount of flashy colors, yet unable to take your eyes off. This exquisite balance is a highlight unique to the Formal Wear ver.

What further complements the black costume is Bismarck's lustrously shining blonde hair. Because pearl painting is applied to the hair, you want to enjoy not only looking at the sculpting, but also changes in expression depending on how the light hits. And gorgeous gold decorations are treated in various places on the costume, directing a unified sense of high quality through the combination with blonde hair. It is a finish that makes you feel once again “Do black and gold have this good compatibility?”. Prototype sculpting is handled by Popape (Lois Entertainment). Through crafted sculpting down to details and delicate coloring overlapping, without losing dignity typical of Bismarck, a special feeling typical of a commemorative illustration is expressed.

Attention should also be paid to posing. What is adopted is a figure incorporating a curtsy-style elegant bow. It seems to clip a moment of quietly greeting, and a narrative nature different from a standing posture can be felt. Lines of the rich bust and supple legs are naturally emphasized according to body movements, showing Bismarck's style beautifully while being a structure letting you feel dignity overall. That it is not “completed when viewed from the front” is also a point, and if changing the viewpoint slightly, hair, costume, and body lines show different overlaps, so even after displaying, you will want to gaze from various directions.

What I personally want to look at thoroughly is the dress expressed as if fluttering in the wind. Dynamism is in the hem and drapes, and despite being a stationary figure, it makes you feel an air as if the costume was swaying until right before that. Because parts where cloth overlaps and spreading silhouettes are three-dimensionally structured, different shadows being born depending on the viewing angle is also an interesting part. Furthermore, a pedestal of original design crafted by Witch design works supports the worldview, bringing the entire figure together as a single work. It is a design making you want to appreciate including down to the feet, rather than looking only at the character.

Because it is a painted finished product adopting plastic for materials, after taking it in hand, you can fully appreciate sculpting and coloring. While leaving Bismarck's original imposing atmosphere, it is a figure incorporating grace unique to formal attire, pearl-painted blonde hair, gold decorations, dynamic dress, and impressive posing. Not fully expressible by “cool Bismarck” alone nor “beautiful Bismarck” alone, a figure where dignity and elegance coexist would be the greatest highlight. For fans who want to enjoy in 3D the visual decorating the milestone of 7th anniversary, it seems it will become an existence particularly special among a collection.
