Love Live!'s Nico Yazawa is getting in the holiday spirit with a new figure by Alter. Nico wears a whimsical outfit of ribbon, bows, candy-striped socks, and topped with a present-inspired hat while holding her hands in her signature "Nico Nico Nii~" pose.
The 1/7-scale figure measures 240mm (9.4in) high including the hat. Expertly designed, it runs on the high-end at 15,800 yen (US$130). Her holiday attire is in tune with the upcoming winter season but she won't actually ship until April.
Good Smile Company opened pre-orders for an 1/8-scale Nico figure carrying a picnic basket in August. That figure will ship in March.
