Releasing within 30 days — 6 items
The 1/4 scale Brid is available for preorder at KRW 571,400. Standing approximately H400mm tall in plastic, it includes the figure and base. Prototype by Norimitsu Ujikawa (Dragon Craft), painting by Matsuda Model. The sculpt captures her pose leaning with a lollipop, translucency in the tight outfit and stockings, and even the Chewing Taste rifle. The Marciana School Days 1/4 releasing the same day is KRW 509,100, H230mm. It's 170mm shorter than Brid, but since they're the same 1/4 scale line, if you're planning to display them together, best to estimate the height difference in advance.

Comes with two face plates—standard expression and closed eyes—plus large and small glass slippers and various optional parts for posing.

Dorothy Nostalgia 1/7 is available for preorder at KRW 314,500. H220mm plastic figure including body and base. Sculptor Takahiro, painting by TORAMI, cooperation by GSAS Production department. The pose shows her leaning against a table, with clothing wrinkles and coloring, wings and accessories, tabletop desserts and Pinne doll all rendered in figure form. This figure cannot stand alone, so the base is mandatory.
Rosanna Chic Ocean 1/7 is available for preorder at KRW 232,800. H225mm (including base), PVC/ABS material with acrylic stand included. Manufactured by APEX. Mary Medical Rabbit is available for preorder at KRW 295,100, H255mm. Includes alternate face parts and base, manufactured by Flare. All three 1/7 scales releasing the same day (Dorothy, Rosanna, Mary) fall within the H220~255mm range, so if you're planning a height-matched display, best to review them all at once.
