Japan's GOOD SMILE COMPANY, known for its affordable pre-painted figure series "POP UP PARADE," is releasing its latest product, the "POP UP PARADE Rya" figure, based on the popular video game title Elden Ring! It will retail for 7,200 JPY and is scheduled for release in July 2026!
In Elden Ring, "Rya the Recusant" is a crucial character who guides players into the Volcano Manor quest. Upon their first encounter, she is distressed because her necklace was stolen by thugs. After helping her retrieve it, Rya offers an invitation to Volcano Manor as a token of gratitude. As the story within Volcano Manor unfolds, Rya's true identity is revealed—her real name is Zorayas, a serpent-human with a snake head. Due to her intimidating appearance, she often assumes the human form of a maiden.
The "POP UP PARADE Rya" figure stands approximately 16 cm tall, faithfully recreating Rya's unusually slender body proportions. The subtle strangeness conveyed by her bent, hunched posture is also delicately captured! Her round, fair face, coupled with a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth and a mysterious gaze, somehow evokes an inexplicable sense of innocent charm after a prolonged look... (?). Her swamp-green robe features delicately sculpted coarse linen fabric textures, with intricate embroidery, and gold threads and patterns winding like snakes, all rendered with meticulous detail. The realistic texture painting makes the entire piece more vivid and lifelike.
