GSAS “Hyper Body Cinderella” from GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE—An Elegantly Dangerous Beauty in Motion
Good Smile Arts Shanghai has unveiled a captivating new release in its Hyper Body series: Cinderella, from the hit mobile game GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE. Slated for release in July 2026, this 1/10 scale action figure brings one of the game’s most fascinating and tragic characters to life through masterful sculpting, vibrant pearlescent finishes, and a sleek sci-fi/fantasy hybrid aesthetic.
The Story Behind Cinderella
In the world of NIKKE, Cinderella is one of the most visually striking and lore-heavy characters. Originally designed to be part of the Goddess Squad—the symbol of hope for humanity—Cinderella was captured by the mechanical invaders known as Raptures before her final calibration. In a tragic twist, she was corrupted and reborn as a harbinger of destruction under the name Anak Aiole, becoming the nightmare she once feared. But deep within, her longing to become a savior still lingers.
As a longtime fan of NIKKE, Cinderella’s narrative struck a chord with me. Her story isn’t just about transformation through tragedy—it’s about a failed dream twisted into something darkly beautiful. That inner conflict is masterfully expressed in this figure.
Design and Features
The Hyper Body Cinderella figure stands approximately 15 cm tall (about 5.9 inches) and channels a delicate yet commanding presence. The sculpt captures her unique silhouette—soft yet sharp, elegant yet mechanical—with pearl white paint that gleams under light, along with clear parts integrated into the limbs and accessories to heighten her futuristic look.
Here’s what collectors will appreciate most:
- Triple Expression Options: Includes “Neutral Face,” “Closed-Eyes Face,” and a dramatic “Cracked Smile Face”
- Iconic Weapon Accessory: Features the crystalline weapon named “Glass Slipper,” a nod to her fairy tale origins with a twist of high-tech edge
- Mechanical Frame + Curved Form: A stunning fusion of robotics and human-like proportions, echoing the emotional duality of Cinderella’s story
- Highly Articulated Joints: Designed for dynamic posing inspired by her combat animations in the game
- Soft but Structured Armor: Mix of matte and gloss finishes that bring out both realism and visual flair
From my hands-on time with similar Hyper Body releases, I’ve found their balance between flexibility and aesthetics particularly satisfying. You can pose these without fear of paint rub or awkward proportions—something veteran figure collectors will greatly appreciate.
