Good Smile Company has announced Anna Yanami: Swimsuit Ver., a 1/7 scale painted figure from the anime Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! It’s scheduled for December 2026 at JPY 17,500 (appx. $115). I like that they didn’t pose her on a beach. They put her in the changing room, one sock half off, which is a far more honest moment for this character.
Anna Yanami: Swimsuit Ver. is a 1/7 scale figure made by Good Smile Company. It stands 23.5 cm (appx. 9.3 in) tall and costs JPY 17,500 (appx. $115). It ships December 2026.
A Losing Heroine, Caught Between Moments
Makeine began as Takibi Amamori’s light novel series before A-1 Pictures adapted it in 2024. Anna’s story opens with Kazuhiko Nukumizu watching her get rejected in a family restaurant, and she never stops being a little undignified after that. That’s the point. A heroine who wins gets a sunset pose; Anna gets caught tugging off a sock while leaning forward, hair still swinging.
Sculpt: Volume Without Stiffness
Sculptor 岡雅聡 builds the figure around a forward shift in weight, so the torso, the bent knee and the trailing hair all read as one motion. The anime draws Anna with soft, slightly rounded lines, and the sculpt keeps that softness rather than tightening her into a generic idol silhouette. The bunched fabric of the half-removed sock is the detail I keep coming back to. It’s small. It sells the whole scene.
Paint and Skin Tone
The skin is molded in a flesh-tone plastic instead of being painted over gray, which gives the thighs and shoulders a faint translucence under light. Painter せしる layers gentle blush gradients at the knees and fingertips so the molded color doesn’t look flat. The open jacket gets its own care, down to a sculpted zipper track that catches a shadow line. Restraint wins here.
How It Stacks Up
Alter has long set the bar for skin gradients at this scale, and Good Smile Company’s prototype photos sit closer to that standard than I expected for JPY 17,500. Alter would likely push the hair translucency further. Good Smile counters with a stronger sense of timing in the pose. At about 9.3 inches, she’ll share a shelf with most 1/7 releases without crowding them.
The Collector’s Survival Guide: How to Justify This
The Collector Math: Anna Yanami eats enough for seven people, and anyone who’s watched her at lunch knows it. Good Smile made her 1/7 scale, so this one eats for exactly one, and she’s a flat $115. Finally, a Yanami Nukumizu could actually afford.
How to tell your wife: Anna Yanami loses the boy she likes in the very first episode, and her anime is literally called Too Many Losing Heroines. I’m bringing home the one girl in anime who’s officially guaranteed to lose. Relax, babe, it’s in the title.
How to tell your parents: Mom, you spent years begging me to take my socks off somewhere other than the living room. Good Smile sculpted Anna doing it right, in an actual changing room, one sock at a time. I finally found the role model you asked for.
How to tell your kids: This is Anna Yanami, and she’s showing up in December wearing a swimsuit and a jacket she didn’t zip. You may look at her, but don’t touch, because she’s cold enough already. She’s what happens when nobody checks your coat.
Anna works because Good Smile Company sculpted the moment before she’s ready, which is exactly where a losing heroine lives. I’m watching the pre-order date, and we’ll update this when it opens.
