The world of Blue Archive expands into the physical realm with a stunning new collectible. Fans are buzzing as Chiaki, the diligent secretary from Gehenna Academy’s Pandemonium Society, steps off the screen and onto collectors’ shelves as a meticulously crafted 1/7 scale figure.
Design COCO, renowned for their intricate scale figures, has announced pre-orders for the ‘Blue Archive -Blue Archive- Chiaki 1/7 Scale Figure’. Reservations officially opened on February 8, 2026, and will close on April 9, 2026. The figure, priced at 23,980 JPY (including tax), is slated for release in April 2027. Standing approximately 284mm tall with its base, this piece promises to capture Chiaki’s unique charm.
This figure perfectly embodies Chiaki’s bright and approachable personality. Her slender, elongated legs draw the eye, leading up to a gentle smile as she casually holds a camera. Every detail, from her signature weapon, ‘Camera Blitz,’ tucked behind her, to the digital camera in her hand, has been faithfully recreated with delicate sculpting and careful coloring.
A standout feature is the figure’s versatility: her hat and coat are fully detachable, allowing collectors to display her in various styles. Adding to this customization, two distinct face parts are included – her standard composed expression and a playful, mischievous smile. This allows for dynamic scene creation, letting fans capture Chiaki’s different facets and moods.
Blue Archive is a popular mobile game launched by Yostar in 2021, celebrated for its compelling blend of ‘school x youth x story.’ It features vibrant anime-style visuals, a pop-infused narrative woven by girls from various academies, and next-generation visual tactical battles rendered in full 3D. The game’s engaging world has captivated players globally, making its characters, like Chiaki, highly sought after in merchandise.
