Prime 1 Studio has officially announced its latest addition to the Real Elite Masterline series under its premium brand, Prime 1 Statue. The new figure features Reika, one of the key characters from the manga GANTZ.
GANTZ, created by Hiroya Oku, is a manga series that has maintained a strong readership since its initial release in 2000. Its mix of science fiction, action, and psychological drama has made it a staple in the genre. The series challenges its characters with brutal life-and-death scenarios, often raising deep questions about existence, morality, and human instinct.
Reika, a central character in the series, is known for her unwavering loyalty to the protagonist, Kei Kurono. While she is admired for her beauty, her emotional resilience and complex motivations make her more than a typical heroine.
Prime 1 Studio selected a specific illustration by Oku as the design foundation. The figure stands 54 cm tall, with a width of 27 cm and depth of 26 cm. At 1/4 scale and weighing 5.5 kg. While the sculptors have remained true to the manga’s stylised proportions, the figure incorporates realistic skin texture, facial expression, and flowing hair, giving it a sense of physical presence.
The main head part, included with all versions of the figure, shows Reika smiling with a wink. A second head sculpt featuring a more neutral expression is included exclusively with the bonus edition. This alternate part allows collectors to customise the display.
While the facial features and skin are detailed with lifelike texture and soft gradation, her bodysuit and weapons introduce a stark contrast. The black suit, commonly seen in the series, is recreated using a matte finish and intricate panel textures, giving it a mechanical feel. She is armed with the X-Shotgun, one of the GANTZ series' iconic weapons, rendered with a focus on weight and structure.
The figure stands on a specially designed base that continues the narrative embedded in the character. Inspired by the GANTZ game system's “stronger weapon” reward mechanism, the circular base is built with hard, industrial shapes and a series of organised panels and pipes.
LED lights embedded in the base emit a pale blue-white glow, designed to evoke the cold, artificial atmosphere of the GANTZ environment. Although the exact power source for the LEDs has not been finalised, buyers will be able to choose between battery operation or USB power, depending on the final production decision.
The design invites viewers into the world of GANTZ, reinforcing the atmosphere of quiet dread and high tension that defines the original work.

The Reika figure is priced at ¥87,890 (including tax), and the bonus edition will only be available through Prime 1 Studio’s official online store within Japan. The inclusion of the second head part as a bonus feature adds a layer of exclusivity for collectors who choose this version.
