Azur Lane has become very popular among fans of shipgirls and mobile games, and figure manufacturers keep portraying its characters.
This time around it’s Chinese manufacturer Hobby Max’s turn to make two new figures available for pre-order.
We’re getting deformed versions of Enterprise and Belfast, with pre-orders already up at retailers like Ami Ami. Each is priced at 6.060 yen, which translates approximately into $57.
They’re both rather small, between 11 and 12 cm tall (Enterprise is a bit taller), and they’re posable pretty much line Nendoroids.
That being said, while they’re certainly similar, they’re not Nendoroids, which come from a different manufacturer.
Both figures will be released in October 2020.
