Girls Frontline 2 Exilium Figma Klukai

Following the reveal of Tololo, Good Smile Company has unveiled its next Girls' Frontline 2 Figma figure, none other than the game's poster girl, HK416 Klukai. Not long after Animester released Klukai in her popular Speedstar skin complete with a motorcycle, Good Smile Company has opted for Klukai's default Girls' Frontline 2 appearance. Scheduled for release in April 2027, Figma Klukai will be sold for 13,800 yen.

For a figure that costs roughly twice as much as the Speedstar Klukai action figure for overseas collector , Figma Klukai offers a pleasing sculpt that faithfully captures the anime aesthetic that the Figma line is known for. To justify the higher price point, the figure includes four weapon sets and a removable hat, making this fan-favorite waifu an attractive addition for Girls' Frontline collectors.

As for the Girls' Frontline franchise itself, while it is unfortunate that Girls' Frontline: Fire Control had to shut down its service, it appears that a successor project, Blue Covenant, is currently in development. From what has been shown so far, the title seems to be a take on the cooperative extraction and large-scale combat formula popularized by the Helldivers series.

On the merchandise front, I would not be surprised to see Leva or Makiatto become the next action figure releases. If not, Groza would also be a strong candidate, provided she eventually receives the same level of merchandising support as the franchise's more prominent characters.

Girls Frontline 2 Exilium Figma Tololo


It’s been about a year since Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium made its global debut, and the first wave of Figma figures is finally on the way. Leading the lineup is Tololo (AK-Alfa), who has the honor of becoming the very first Figma release from the game. She’s scheduled to launch in February 2027 with a price tag of 13,800 yen.

It’s not hard to see why Tololo was chosen. As one of the initial SSR T-Dolls available at launch, she’s a familiar face to most players. Based on an Israeli variant of the Kalashnikov platform, Tololo quickly establishes herself as a dependable early-game unit, offering consistent DPS and making her a go-to pick for new commanders.

As the inaugural GFL2 Figma, Tololo already looks promising. The sculpt showcases impressive detail, particularly in the semi-transparent elements of her outfit, and she comes equipped with her signature combat drone for added display value. Early impressions suggest a strong start for the line.

Meanwhile, other fan-favorite characters are already gaining traction. Klukai appears to have a prototype in development, which isn’t surprising given her popularity. Hopefully, this is just the beginning, there’s plenty of demand for action figures of other standout T-Dolls like Groza, Qiongjiu, Makiatto, and Suomi.

Girls Frontline 2 Exilium Animester 1/12 HK416 Speed Star

 
One of the most anticipated Girls’ Frontline collectibles is finally up for preorder: the HK416 “Klukai” action figure. Based on her GFL2 Speedstar skin, this “golden child” of the franchise brings something fresh to the table in Animester’s latest rendition. Notably, this will be the only Klukai figure so far to feature her signature futuristic motorbike from Girls’ Frontline 2, though the bike itself will be sold separately as a model kit. Both are scheduled for Q3 2026, with the Animester Klukai figure priced at 299 RMB and the motorbike at 238 RMB.

Girls Frontline Fire Control

I picked up this particular Girls’ Frontline spin-off last year but only started giving it proper attention over the past month. Although it isn’t developed directly by the team behind GFL2: Exilium, it still offers enough appeal to attract both long-time Girls’ Frontline fans and more casual players.

Girls’ Frontline: Fire Control is essentially a MOBA with mechanics adapted to fit the GFL universe. Since the Girls’ Frontline series is a popular gacha franchise centered on anthropomorphized firearm “waifus,” Fire Control integrates light FPS elements to stay true to the brand’s identity. However, at its core, it remains a MOBA experience.

One of the game’s strengths is allowing players to use well-known T-Dolls from the original title, with their weapon classes naturally translating into MOBA roles. My current mainstay is WA2000 known as Makiatto in GFL2, the classic tsundere red-haired sniper rifle who fills the ADC role in Fire Control. The role transition feels seamless and faithful to her original identity.

Personally, I think Fire Control works well as a casual MOBA alternative. For it to survive and thrive long term, however, consistent content updates will be crucial especially new stages and the addition of fan-favorite T-Dolls to keep the existing fanbase engaged. With major names like HK416, UMP45 and Type 95 still available to headline updates, the game has strong potential to maintain momentum. The recent QoL improvements seen in GFL2: Exilium may also indirectly strengthen confidence in the broader franchise.

To me, Girls’ Frontline: Fire Control demonstrates that a successful gacha franchise can transition into the MOBA format to reach a broader casual audience while retaining its core fans. If successful, perhaps other major gacha titles such as Fate/Grand Order might one day experiment with similar diversification strategies.

Girls Frontline 2 Exilium 1/7 Springfield Queen in Radiance

The Girls’ Frontline series may not be the fastest when it comes to releasing merchandise, but the pacing has been steady and respectable. With the help of Kotobukiya, Springfield in her formal dress is finally getting the spotlight as a 1/7 scale figure. Scheduled for release in September 2026, the figure is priced at 25,000 yen.

This rendition faithfully recreates Springfield’s GFL2 skin, “Queen in Radiance.” As expected, the scale figure sits on the higher end of the price spectrum compared to its peers much like the skin itself in Exilium, where it remains one of the most expensive options available for direct purchase. The pricing feels fitting, considering the level of detail and the premium presentation of this version.

Springfield has long been a fan favorite within the GFL community, largely due to her strong maternal aura among the many “waifus” in the franchise. Despite the series having no shortage of characters with a similar archetype, Springfield continues to stand out and maintain her popularity.

Before reuniting with the Commander in GFL2, Springfield successfully ran a coffee shop alongside some of the Commander’s former T-Dolls. However, she is far from being just a gentle café owner. Springfield remains a combat-ready T-Doll with her own arsenal, fully prepared for large-scale firefights whenever duty calls.

Girls Frontline Apex Toys 1/7 HK416 Midnight Evangelion

Being the ever popular postergirl of Girls Frontline, Klukai or HK416 often becomes the recipient of physical merchandise. From Apextoys, She is getting another 1/7 PVC Figure in her skin called Midnight Evangelion. Scheduled for July 2026, this one will be sold for 20800 Yen Price tag.

This particular rendition of Klukai appear to be her GFL1 version with her hairstyle being giveaway but her skin really closely resemble her GFL2 Speed Star skin which are getting the action figure by Animester. The tight skinsuit in this HK416 version also truly resemble Evangelion’s iconic plugsuit thus received the “Midnight Evangelion” designation. While I am fine with Klukai keep getting the merchandise I hope other T-Doll like Daiyan and Groza could get their share too in the future.

Girls Frontline 2 Exilium 1/7 WA2000 Makiatto Ballroom Interlude Ver

Coinciding with 1st Anniversary of GFL 2 Exilium, we got ourselves another premium 1/7 Scale Figure for the gorgeous T-Doll, this time it is the tsundere Sniper T-Doll, WA2000 who is known as Makiatto in GFL2. In this figure rendition, Makiatto comes in her Ballroom Dress outfit with her usual tsundere expression expressing some jealousy toward Shikikan giving attention to another T-Doll. Scheduled for August 2026 release, 1/7 Makiatto will be sold for 28930 Yen.

Having played GFL2 for a year, I felt the game has been quite a drag these days though I still stick around due to the top designs for T-Doll which hit the perfect balance without going to the extremities like Nikke. WA2000/Makiattor represents one of the best design from GFL being perfect redhead waifu with tsundere streak which later have inspire designs like Kafka from HSR or Dolla from GFL. In GFL 2 she took Sniper Role with Ice element affinity specializing in area denial.

WA2000 tsundere lovestruck design makes her easily a favorite waifu from GFL topped with her rivalry with HK416 for Shikikan’s heart. Given my attachment toward GFL is not exactly strong, this figure is an easy skip for me, though I would look forward to any action figure rendition for WA2000 even if it had to be model kit format which Groza should be getting in near future.

Girls Frontline 2 Exilium 1/7 Klukai Summer ver

HK416 or Klukai being one of the most popular T-Doll from GFL 2 certainly receives many physical renditions including PVC figure by Animester. Released as 1/7 Scale in her (in)famous summer skin, Klukai Animester PVC figure will be sold for 12000 Yen with June 2026 release schedule.

 As expected with current level of Chinese hobby manufacturing capacity, the PVC figure truly superb quality to represent the top GFL T-Doll waifu. While I have expected Klukai’s 1/12 action figure could made it first, turns out Klukai’s 1/7 PVC figure is the one who made it. In GFL2, Klukai summer skin gained quite an infamy since it is available as Gacha Skin which drew ire by Chinese GFL fans as players have to shell out as much as 100 USD to unlock this fanservice skin for the clingy elite T-Doll. Instead of forking out 100 USD for in-game skin, Animester PVC figure do serve as appealing alternative indeed.

Given the affordable price tag, I am quite interested to obtain summer klukai as part of my collection since I used her a lot being a very reliable low level sweeper in GFL2. I would also look around for any possible collectible for Groza, Daiyan, Machiatto and Qiongjiu which are quite a possibility.
