Successor of Heidern! Japanese toy company Kotobukiya's KOTOBUKIYA BISHOUJO figure brand, after releasing numerous beautiful character products from SNK games, is set to launch a new character in April 2025: Leona Heidern (レオナ・ハイデルン) from SNK's "The King of Fighters '97"! The suggested retail price is 18,700 JPY.

Leona, a member of the Ikari Warriors team, first appeared in "The King of Fighters '96." She is the adopted daughter of Heidern, and her fighting style is inherited from the various assassination techniques taught by Heidern. While she usually appears to be a quiet and reserved girl, she actually carries the blood of Orochi within her. Due to Orochi's influence, her blood can go berserk, granting immense power but causing her to lose control. Fortunately, with the help of her two veteran teammates, Ralf and Clark, Leona gradually opened her heart, dispelled her inner shadows, and learned to control the power within her.
This Leona Heidern figure from Kotobukiya's "BISHOUJO" series is based on her appearance in "The King of Fighters '97." Standing approximately 23.5 cm tall, she is depicted with her hair tied in a high ponytail, wearing a two-piece military uniform, gloves on both hands, and military boots. Her expression is serious yet carries a touch of cuteness. The floor tiles she stands on are inspired by the stage floor pattern of the USA stage in the game. For an even more atmospheric display, you can use the included confetti stickers to decorate the ground, enhancing the carnival vibe. Orders placed through Kotobukiya's online store will receive an exclusive bonus alternate face part.
