F:NEX, the premium hobby brand by Japanese entertainment company FURYU Corporation, has once again captured the hearts of figure collectors and anime fans with the announcement of its latest release — the Nachoneko New Outfit ver. 1/7 Scale Figure.
For fans of Nachoneko, this is a particularly exciting launch. The character, created and illustrated by the talented artist Natsuki Amashiro, has developed a massive following not just as an adorable illustrated cat-girl but as a live-streaming personality in her own right. With around 420,000 subscribers on YouTube, 440,000 on Twitch, and approximately 620,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter) as of February 2025, Nachoneko has become a true digital-age icon. Her content, which mainly consists of gaming livestreams, commentary, and quirky skits, resonates with fans around the world thanks to her unique charm and the unmistakable visual style created by Amashiro.
This latest figure is more than just a re-release. It’s a complete transformation, featuring a brand-new outfit inspired by a charming combination of Japanese school uniform aesthetics with playful “moe” elements. In this version, Nachoneko appears in a schoolgirl-inspired look, complete with oversized sleeves ("moe-sode") and twintails — a combination that’s bound to melt the hearts of collectors and fans alike. This “new outfit” version is based directly on a freshly drawn illustration by Amashiro, ensuring a faithful adaptation from artwork to three-dimensional form.
As with all F:NEX releases, attention to detail is everything. The figure stands at an impressive 24cm in height (including the base) and spares no effort in capturing Nachoneko’s distinctively cute persona. The facial expression has been carefully sculpted to bring out her trademark sweetness, while her distinctive cat-paw patterned eyes are meticulously replicated with intricate detail. These elements are crucial to maintaining the character’s visual identity, and F:NEX has taken great care to get it just right.
The craftsmanship doesn’t stop there. Nachoneko’s hair has been treated with a subtle metallic paint, giving it a beautiful sheen and a delicate gradient toward the tips. Her cat ears are textured to resemble soft fur, adding to the sense of realism and tactile charm. Glitter paint has been used on her iconic “Hennyano” hair clip, giving it a soft, jelly-like shimmer. The sculpt also features the playful "Hennyano" character clinging onto Nachoneko, posed in her signature cat-like stance — a delightful addition that fans of the brand will surely appreciate.
Further enhancements come through the painting process, where shading and subtle colour gradients bring each detail to life. Her checkered skirt is rendered in rich tones, while the natural complexion and gentle blush of her skin give the figure a lifelike warmth. Even her shoes have been given a glossy finish, highlighting the shine and texture of her outfit from top to toe. Every element of the piece speaks to F:NEX’s commitment to quality and to producing figures that are more than just merchandise — they’re miniature works of art.
