Taito featured multiple Spiritale figure reveals at WonFes 2025 Winter, and one of them ended up being a first look at the cute Bridget figure based on her Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R appearance. This is the first time an actual physical version of this product appeared, as the company only previously shared concept and announcement art.
This figure will be a 1/7 scale model. That means it will probably be between eight and ten inches tall when it is finished. She has her nun's coif and veil on her head and is wearing her blue and white dress. Her yo-yo is in her left hand. Roger the teddy bear is behind her. Her handcuff is also around her waist, as usual. The design is intended to replicate official art of the character from Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R.
Here's how the Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R figure of the character is looking so far:
Spiritale released another Guilty Gear Bridget figure not too long ago. However, that one was based on her Guilty Gear Strive look. It debuted in March 2024 worldwide. That was also a 1/7 scale figure, and it stood at over 10 inches tall.
There's no release window for this Spiritale Bridget figure yet, and Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R is available on the Switch, PS3, Vita, Xbox 360, and PC.

Good Smile Company showcased three Rebuild of Evangelion figures at WonHobby 39, with two being Asuka Shikinami Langley and Rei Ayanami swimsuit figures that are part of the company's Beach Queens collection and Pop Up Parade lines. The third is a Qset+ Kaworu Nagisa and Shinji Ikari figure.
Both the Asuka and Rei figures are the two that we'll see appear first. Both appeared at the painted prototype phase at the event. Since they're Pop Up Parade figures, they won't come with extra parts or accessories. However, they are part of the Pop Up Parade L line, so they'll be larger than seven inches like standard models. Asuka has a red and white striped swim tank on with a cover up and wears jean shorts. She's holding a squirt gun and looks like she's running in her pose. Rei is wearing a white bikini with blue hoodie over it. She's standing while holding a white and yellow inflatable tube.
Here's how the Asuka and Rei Rebuild of Evangelion swimsuit figures look:
We saw a few other Beach Queens figures announced last year in 2024. However, those weren't of Evangelion heroines. Rather, they were Alice, Asuna, and Leafa from Sword Art Online. We'll start seeing some of those appear in stores in 2025.
Meanwhile, the Qset+ Kaworu Nagisa and Shinji Ikari figure only showed up as an unpainted prototype. The two are sitting next to each other and smiling while wearing school uniforms. They're listening to music from Shinji's SDAT player together, with each one having one of the two headphones in their ears.
This is the most recent photo of that one:
There's no release window yet for the Rebuild of Evangelion Beach Queens Asuka and Rei swimsuit figures yet or Qset+ Kaworu and Shinji figure. The four Rebuild of Evangelion movies are on Amazon.

Good Smile Company shared updates on four Fire Emblem: Three Houses figures at WonHobby 39, with the female Byleth figma and Dorothea Arnault, Hilda Valentine Goneril, and Sylvain Jose Gautier Pop Up Parade appearing at the event. The three Pop Up Parade figures all showed up as painted prototypes, so it's likely we'll see pre-orders for them in the next few weeks.
First, here's how the Byleth figma of the female version of our avatar in Fire Emblem: Three Houses is looking so far. As this is a posable figure, there's full articulation at the ankles, knees, hips, waist, wrists, elbows, shoulders, torso, and neck. She's wielding her Sword of the Creator in the example photo, showing it will be included as an accessory.
Here's how she looks so far:
The Dorothea, Hilda, and Sylvain Fire Emblem: Three Houses figures all are based on their appearances from the outset of the game. This means each one is wearing their Garreg Mach Monastery Officers Academy uniform. As the Pop Up Parades have standardized pricing and previous ones already appeared in this line, we have an idea of how much they'll be. The Edelgard von Hresvelg one was $43.99, for example, but both the male and female Byleth ones were $33.99 each. So these three should fall into that price range.
Here's the full gallery showing all of them:
There are quite a few Pop Up Parade Fire Emblem: Three Houses characters already available. Here's the list:
There were also other items like a Edelgard figma, Edelgard scale figure, and Dimitri scale figure.
There's no release windows for the Fire Emblem: Three Houses female Byleth figma or Dorothea, Hilda, and Sylvain figures yet, and the game is available on the Nintendo Switch worldwide.

At WonHobby 39, aka Wonder Fest 2025 Winter, Good Smile Company revealed its new Sanrio Hatsune Miku figure pairs her with Kuromi. It showed an unpainted prototype of the upcoming product at the event. As it is a Snow Miku design, it will also feature the rabbit mascot Yukine.
The figure features Hatsune Miku in a long-sleeved version of her standard top with a tie and wearing a frilly skirt. She has mittens on both of her hands, a scarf around her neck and thigh-high boots. There are roses around her pigtails and at the top of her boots. She's holding Kuromi, who also has a rose crown on her had, in her right hand. At her feet is Yukine the rabbit, which wears a matching outfit with roses on the ears and at the neck of the dress.
Here's a first picture of the prototype:
This Kuromi crossover is the second major Hatsune Miku Sanrio collab to involve a figure, as the Vocaloid also ended up connected to Cinnamoroll. In addition to standard figures, a Nendoroid appeared. Plush of the two together showed in arcades. There are even pop-up shops in Japan with additional merchandise appearing in 2025 pairing the virtual singer with the puppy.
The Snow Miku figure of Hatsune Miku with Sanrio character Kuromi and her rabbit mascot Yukine is in development. There's no release window for it yet.
