Yukine Chris (Lovely Sweater Style) – 1/7 – Senki Zesshou Symphogear AXZ (Good Smile Company, 2023) – My Comment
Introduction
As I was finishing watching Senki Zesshou Symphogear (review here), I decided I wanted a figure of one of my favorite characters. Confident that there would be a wide selection, I began my search. To my surprise, despite the series’ considerable popularity in Japan, there are relatively few figures available. Moreover, there were hardly any figures that met my quality standards. My main issue was the appearance of the face or the type (I’m not a fan of action figures). I wanted one depicting Yukine Chris, Tsukuyomi Shirabe, or Akatsuki Kirika. In the end, I found only one that I liked.

The figure was released in 2023 and depicts Yukine Chris in a lovely red sweater. Interestingly, it was issued by Good Smile Company for the AXZ series, the penultimate season, which started in 2017. I can’t fault the quality of the craftsmanship. The painting is very precise, and the plastic molds and sculpting are impressive in their detail. There are no jagged edges on the hair, which is a big plus since imperfections sometimes occur in this price range. The shading on the body, accessories, and underwear is quite nice.
Her face looks great from every angle. The figure closely resembles Chris, and it’s clear that the sculptor (AQUAMARINE) has considerable talent.
The figure is composed of four parts: the base, two separately inserted hair extensions, and the main body. The statue fits securely in the base, and there was no problem inserting it into the designated holes.
Other remarks and summary
Fans of Symphogear, especially Yukine Chris enthusiasts, shouldn’t hesitate to purchase this figure. It will definitely be a feast for the eyes. The attention to detail, painting, and quality of the sculpting are definitely worth the price. I am very pleased with my purchase and hope that in the future, other characters from Senki Zesshou Symphogear will also join my collection.
