Good Smile Arts Shanghai has announced an exciting new addition to its Hyper Body series, which merges mecha elements with the charm of female characters. The latest release in this line is the Hyper Body Rikka Takarada (GRID TECTOR Ver.) action figure, inspired by the popular anime film GRIDMAN UNIVERSE. Priced at 13,800 JPY (approximately $95), this figure is set for release in May 2025.
GRIDMAN UNIVERSE, an adaptation of the Tokusatsu series Denko Chojin Gridman, brings together beloved characters in an epic narrative. Among them is Rikka Takarada, a high school student known for her laid-back demeanor and deep care for her friends. She runs a junk shop called JUNK SHOP Ayan, and though she appears lazy at times, she always looks out for those close to her.
The Hyper Body Rikka Takarada (GRID TECTOR Ver.) figure stands approximately 15 cm (5.9 inches) tall. It features an original mecha-inspired armor design called “GRID TECTOR,” which integrates elements of her school uniform from the film. The figure retains Rikka’s iconic red bow tie, vest, orange hair ties, and perfectly pleated skirt while adding detailed armor that accentuates her character’s memorable “honey thighs.”
The figure comes with several interchangeable faceplates, including a neutral expression, a smiling face, a shy expression, and a shouting face, allowing for various display options. Additionally, the set includes a range of accessories such as the “Gridman Calibur,” “Grid Beam,” and two “Grid Light Saber Slash” effect parts, adding dynamic possibilities for posing and play.
