Good Smile Company have plenty to smile about after unveiling a fully painted version of Lucina from their figma range.
This figurine is superbly detailed, and if you can see past some obvious fragility this model shows off everything that's great about the Fire Emblem: Awakening character's design. Looking appropriately similar to Marth, this young warrior has been declared by the manufacturer as being an ideal match for one of their other models which they announced at the same time; a generic horse designed to be compatible with models in the figma range, which you can see below.
Whether you're an avid collector of such paraphernalia or just someone who likes the games, you can easily appreciate the effort that went into this model. This Lucina figurine will be available from June next year.
Is this something you'd be interested in buying, or do you prefer to admire this figures from afar with a fuller wallet? Let us know by leaving a comment below!

That's pretty nice.
I'd like to see what's the cost.
At first I thought it was Lucina's amiibo.
That's a pretty epic figurine, but the first thing I thought when I read the headline of this article was that this was an Amiibo. I was mistaken. If I did collect figurines, I'd only want them to be Amiibo since they'd actually have a use.
That looks really nice. I don't really have a thing for collecting figurines, but that looks like one I'd love to have.
Looks good. A bit featureless, since it's a very simple pose, but still good. Now for the price...
She has feet!
Inb4 someone comments on the feet. FE players will know...
EDIT: @Zyph beat me to it!
It looks good, but I'll be waiting for the amiibo.
This is what Amiibo should look like!
How much is the figure in £?
@BurningSonic If it were, it would be a no-brainer, no matter the limited functionality.
I need it!!!!!
@andyg1971 I bought my link and samus figmas for around 50 pounds each, I'd imagine it would be the same. Really awesome quality posable figures mind
They got an important detail wrong... look at her feet, that not how I remember them from the game!
I hope she gets an Amiibo. Then she could go alongside Ike and Marth.
Do you think this can be used for Fire Emblem Awakening as well since the character came from that game and since that game's only for the 3DS?
I want.
I will definitely be picking lucina up, been waiting for her for a while
Those are some exquisitely detailed feet! Hm, yes... feet... so very delicate...
@sgotsch She did have feet. Didn't you watch the cutscenes?
Considering I mounted my Lucina as a bow knight in Fire Emblem: Awakening, I would, indeed have to buy the horse, as well. Hmmm...
@SamirMalik
Imagine her with hooves in cutscenes, though.
@Datasun_7 Wow expensive but classy!
Figma are top-quality posable figures, probably the best you can get (D-Arts comes close). They could be at around $30-$60 depending on where you order from. This, however, I don't think I can pass up... Hopefully they would make a Chrom Figma but I could see a Robin or Marth happening first.
And the article fails to mention that you can also swap out her head with her Marth disguise, mask and everything.
@Superstick She will get an amiibo because of the simple fact that she is playable in Smash 3DS and Wii U.
Yeah, I guess so. She's probably just in another wave that hasn't been shown yet.
Bought a couple of their Samus figures for my nephews. Really nice stuff.
@sgotsch Hooves? What are those?
@SamirMalik certainly not human feet.
(There are 7 on this picture http://static1.gamesrocket.com/ga/images/product_images/20304/images/screenshots/Fire-Emblem-Awakening-Nintendo-3DS_13618013703.jpg )
I WILL buy this fig. Fire Emblem Awakening is possibly my favorite 3DS title, I cannot pass this one up! SO excited!!
Please People at Nintendo Life, Keep us posted about the release date and any other pre order information!! I will NOT let this figure slip away from me!!
Is there a lucina, ehm fun toy hehehe, lol jk, ok maybe.
I've been playing this game a lot lately. A little off topic, but my play time is around 290 hours, and my average play time is about 1 hour and 50 minutes. Needless to say,...I can't get enough of it. On topic, nice figure, but her pose is a little boring. Pass.
Been waiting on them to finish this! oh cant wait to have this on my bookshelf.
@andyg1971 yeah no. I'm not paying 40 bucks per amibo. I'm very happy with 10 bucks and their current looks.
@Giygas_95 They're poseable. You're supposed to put Figmad in your own dynamic poses. She even comes with the mask she debuted with in game and has interchangeable facial expressions.
@Kaze_Memaryu You can pose her. You can get some pretty dynamic and fun poses out of these figures.
@King47 Figmas usually range from $40-$57. It entirely depends on where you buy it from. Some sites give better discounts than others.
I'll likely pick this up if i can get if tor around £50.
I'd prefer it not be a figma figure as I'm not a fan of the joints degrading from the accuracy of the figure but I'm still buying it because I want a high quality Lucina figure and this is the only option available.
Also, release data June 2015?! That's a long ways away.
@Retro_on_theGo Ah, that's cool, but not my thing at all. I prefer figma. Thanks anyway!
I wish the amiibos could look as good as that...
Honestly thought it was an amiibo for a minute
@RaphaBoss They could, but then we'd all be paying close to $50 per Amiibo. Quality doesn't come cheap.
@JaxonH I know, it's sad :/ . The Mario and Kirby characters look very good, but the more detailed ''animish'' characters suffer from the price. I really wanted a Shulk or a Fire Emblem character.
@Artwark This isn't an amiibo...
@RaphaBoss
They're actually not bad once you see them in person.

These came in the mail today along with a few others of course.
@JaxonH Thanks for the pics, they do look nice, specialy Samus in her metalic suit. I really want to see a Marth or Ike amiibo though :/
I have seen some Marth amiibos that look terrible, but I've seen others that look good. I need more pirctures.
@RaphaBoss
Ask and you shall receive...
Marth
https://www.flickr.com/photos/actionjaxonh/15854444555/
@JaxonH It does look good enough, but are you sure it is the mass production one?
@RaphaBoss
Lol.. Well I bought it from Best Buy so it's certainly not a prototype. Those pics are of my personal Amiibos sitting on my shelf 6 feet away from me
JaxonH Nice, congrats for your amiibos having a good owner XD
OK, you convinced me, I'm getting a Marth amiibo
@JaxonH I know right? I was surprised that Marth doesn't look bad at all. Of course now I can't find him... Need Villager, Wii Fit Trainier and Marth still. Didn't have enough cash on me after I bought the gamer unlocked thing to put down pre orders.
Also thank you again for the tip on the gamer unlock club. I got into an argument with my manager at gamestop about where I was buying my amiibo (The gamestop nearest me is not the one I work at) so I had to cancel my preorders and move them. I saved more money with best buy though.
On Topic: I think I'm buying two of these. One to have in "Marth" form and the other to keep as normal. I hope they do a male and female Robin.
@andyg1971 Probably going to cost around $40-50. That's usually the general cost of figma.
Still surprised not too many Nintendo fans collect Japanese Figures
@Ryu_Niiyama Ah man, Gamestop employees HATE it when you tell them about Gamers Club Unlocked. I had my local GameStop employees argue with me for 20 minutes, just in complete denial lol... I had to explain to him there was no reason in the world to buy a game there when I can get it for 20% off else where. AND I don't have to get hassled what I want to cancel a pre order, I can just do it online through the automated system. But at GS, they won't LET you cancel online if it was ordered for store pick up, neither will they let you cancel online if it was pre-ordered in person.
And if you do go in person they usually refuse to cancel for you because they don't want the mark against them in their commission scheme, "Oh, you can just leave the preorder and not pick up the game" they say. "But your policy states I can be charged if I don't pick up a preorder...?" Only to hear them say "Nah don't worry about it". Went on their website recently and found a game from a year ago where the pre-order was still not canceled even though they told me they canceled it. Pfft...
I went in to pick up Tales of Hearts R (exclusive to GS) and right away the guy had the game for me, he's like "I know you have your thing at Best Buy, but did you know we have a credit card now? Said yep, sure do, but I have a credit card with Best Buy already, and it gives me an additional 5% back in rewards. Lol... Oh they don't like seeing me any more hahaha...
@JaxonH that sucks. It sounds like your local gamestop is not a good one. Corporate policy has changed. GAs aren't supposed to harass customers about preorders anymore. While it was never commission, having poor numbers could get you in trouble in the past (thank goodness I was in management back then because I hate forcing stuff that people don't want on others) but that has changed. My issue came about because my manager is looking to get promoted, so he is trying to squeeze any numbers that he can.
The only big difference is that now more than ever preorders determine stock...so they really aren't kidding when they say that they may sell out of you don't preorder. And if it is a game that nobody cares about some stores may only get a few copies. All to save the almighty shelf space.
I'd like to say that I've never heard of folks doing the things that they have done to you with preorders, but quite frankly that is the reason that Gamestop had to alter policy because people were doing ANYTHING to pad their numbers. Now that kind of crap can get them fired. If you keep catching crap (not that you go to gamestop much) then I suggest you ask for the District Manager's telephone number (they can give it out but you have to push about it). The very idea that you want to CALL a DM is usually enough to get them to change their tune. If that doesn't work...actually make the call. Gamestop is aware of its image and is trying to change it. Not saying that makes GS a better company or anything (I may work for them but I'm a consumer first) but they are trying.
