The Electronic Fairy Is Reporting For Duty 1/7 Scale Ruri Hoshino Figure Is Coming!

Holy smokes, look what Good Smile Company just dropped!

As a longtime fan of the series, seeing the announcement for the Hoshino Ruri 1/7 Scale Figure based on her appearance in the movie Martian Successor Nadesico -The prince of darkness- is seriously making me dust off my old space boots. This isn’t just any figure; this is 16-year-old Captain Ruri, right when she’s commanding the Nadesico B, and she’s actually smiling and giving a salute! That’s character development captured in PVC, people.

For those who weren’t there during the initial run, Ruri was the definition of ‘cool competence.’ An 11-year-old genius, the ‘Electronic Fairy,’ who treated the ship’s main computer, Omikane, like her best friend. It took the chaos of the Akatsuki team to melt that ice a bit, and look at her now—a decorated, young military commander! That journey warrants a spectacular sculpt.

They nailed the pose, capturing that youthful energy while maintaining her inherent poise. They based the sculpt on the original illustrations, which means that bouncy twin-tail sculpt is going to be dynamic. I’m particularly excited about the details they mentioned: the hair accessories are clear parts for that extra pop, and they focused heavily on the folds and creases in her uniform to really sell the texture of the fabric.

And the paint job? They’re using pearl paints on the hair and stockings—that subtle sheen is crucial for capturing that slightly stylized, late-90s/early-2000s aesthetic that looked amazing on screen. The white skin tone contrast against the crisp uniform details is going to make this centerpiece shine on the shelf.

Honestly, the packaging sounds like a collector’s dream too. They’re including a box sleeve designed to look like a retro VHS tape. How delightfully meta is that for this franchise?

And if you are ordering directly from the Good Smile Company online shop, you get a limited edition bonus pamphlet that looks like an old animation magazine insert, complete with retro posters and production staff interviews. That’s the kind of bonus that keeps me ordering direct, even if the wait until October 2026 is going to be absolutely torturous. My shelf is already clearing space for this genius captain.
