Pre-orders are open now for figma Anis: Sparkling Summer, Max Factory’s articulated take on the Goddess of Victory: Nikke swimsuit skin: ¥14,800 tax included (about $100), with orders running through September 30, 2026 and shipping scheduled for June 2027. It is a limited-distribution release in Japan — no general hobby-shop rollout — but AmiAmi’s English store carries it as an “Exclusive Sale” item, so US buyers can order today without a proxy.

The deadline matters here. September 30 in Japan ends at 10:59 AM ET (7:59 AM PT) that same day, and Good Smile Company warns that pre-orders “may close during the preorder period without prior notice,” so an early order is safer than a September 29 one.

What’s in the box

Anis wears her Sparkling Summer swimsuit and open jacket, stands about 150 mm tall, and comes with a stand. Four face plates are included: standard, shooting, smiling, and blushing.

Optional parts cover the character’s beach loadout — her Libertine Aqua water gun, a drink can, bare arms with the jacket off, and crouching legs for sitting poses, plus additional hands and parts. Sculpting is credited to Max Factory (Masato Nagai/Sedo) with production cooperation by Masaki Apsy; Good Smile Company handles distribution.

Limited distribution, so pick your shop deliberately

Good Smile Company’s Japanese page lists only five sales channels: the GSC online store, AmiAmi, Animate, the GOOD SMILE STORE on Rakuten, and Amazon.co.jp. That is why AmiAmi flags it as an exclusive-sale item — the usual importer alternatives like HobbyLink Japan do not carry it.

For overseas buyers that leaves two practical routes. AmiAmi’s English site takes the order directly at the ¥14,800 list price. Good Smile Company’s own online store also ships internationally and adds a store bonus — an L-size figma base printed with the Tetra Line logo — and guarantees fulfillment for orders placed within the window; the trade-off is GSC’s shipping rates. Either way, purchases are capped at three per person.

Ordering from the US

If this is your first Japanese pre-order, our pre-order basics guide covers how payment timing works — cards are typically charged near the June 2027 ship date, not at order time. And gacha-game figure schedules do move: Wonderful Works’ Makiatto from Girls’ Frontline 2 just slipped a quarter after orders closed, so treat the June 2027 date as a plan, not a promise.

We list this deadline on the Pre-order Radar, and future Nikke figures and news will collect on our Goddess of Victory: Nikke hub.

Most Japanese shops ship worldwide by EMS/DHL (7–14 days). Duties and import taxes are charged on delivery in most countries — check your local threshold before ordering.
