This San Diego Cu-Poche figure captures the cute, compact charm of the character in Kotobukiya's signature chibi style. The pose emphasizes her confident stance with a slight lean and a friendly, ready-for-action expression. Her sculpt features the distinctive blue and white naval uniform adapted into a compact form: a short pleated skirt, a double-breasted jacket, and a miniature sailor hat perched at a jaunty angle. Subtle shading across the molded plastics creates depth in the folds, the epaulettes, and buttons. The figure includes poseable joints in the neck, shoulders, elbows, and knees for light dynamic options, while accessories highlight her character: a tiny weapon or prop, and optional parts to swap expressions. The high-quality finish and clean lines reflect Kotobukiya’s Cu-Poche aesthetic, making it a standout display piece for Azur Lane fans.
