Good Smile Company and Max Factory made seven new Blue Archive figure announcements on August 28 to mark the opening of the Blue Archive 5.5th Anniversary POP UP STORE at Akiba CO Gallery in Akihabara. The lineup: figma Arona and Plana, figma Toki Asuma (Armed), figma Alice Tendou, Nendoroid Kei Tendou, Nendoroid Miyako Tsukiyuki, a scale figure of Hasumi (Swimsuit), and a scale Reijo in her Memorial Lobby outfit.

For overseas buyers, the practical news is that none of these can be ordered yet. No prices, scales, sizes, or release windows have been announced; two of the seven are unpainted prototypes and the rest are “coming soon” cards. Expect the pre-order pages to arrive one at a time over the coming months, and we will add them to the Pre-order Radar when they do.

What was announced

The reveals went out on Good Smile’s official accounts between 11:00 and 11:07 JST on August 28 (10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT on the 27th), timed to the store’s opening.

Item Maker Line Status
Arona / Plana Good Smile Company figma Announced
Toki Asuma (Armed) Max Factory figma Announced
Alice Tendou Good Smile Company figma Unpainted prototype shown
Kei Tendou Good Smile Company Nendoroid Announced
Miyako Tsukiyuki Good Smile Company Nendoroid Announced
Hasumi (Swimsuit) Max Factory Scale figure Announced
Reijo, Memorial Lobby Ver. Max Factory Scale figure Unpainted prototype shown

Arona and Plana were announced together in one post, so it is not yet clear whether they will be a two-pack or separate releases. Toki’s “Armed” version (臨戦 in the Japanese post) is her combat-gear outfit, distinct from the ALTER Toki figure. Dengeki Hobby’s floor report lists the Reijo prototype as 1/7 scale; Good Smile’s own post does not give a scale, so treat that as provisional.

The Alice and Reijo prototypes are gray, unpainted sculpts carrying the usual pending-licensor-approval stamp, which normally means the painted version and the pre-order page are still a few months out.

The event itself

The pop-up runs August 28 to September 13, 2026 at Akiba CO Gallery (Sotokanda 3-16-12, Chiyoda, Tokyo). Hours are 4–8 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m.–8 p.m. on weekends, with a 7 p.m. close on the opening day. The first two days required a LivePocket entry reservation; from August 30 entry is free, with numbered tickets if it gets crowded.

Good Smile is showing figures already on pre-order alongside the new prototypes. Event reports from Dengeki Hobby and moeyo.com photographed additional in-progress items on the tables, so if you are in Tokyo before September 13, the exhibit is worth a look even if the exclusive goods do not interest you.

What to do now

Nothing, yet. Good Smile’s figma and Nendoroid pre-orders typically open at the same time across the Good Smile online shop, HobbyLink Japan, and AmiAmi, and Max Factory scales follow the same pattern; our buying guide covers which shop suits which payment style. If you want a Blue Archive scale you can order today, ALTER’s Ichika (Swimsuit) is listed for August 2027 at general retail.
