NieR: Automata Getting 9S Play Arts Kai Action Figure in Two Editions

Today Square Enix made a new figure available for pre-order portraying one of the characters of its popular action JRPG NieR: Automata.

This time around you can pre-order a Play Arts Kai version of YoRHa No.9 Type S (or 9S for short), either in standard version or DX Edition.

They’re priced respectively at 12,200 yen and 16,330 yen on Ami Ami, translating roughly into $116 and $155.

The release window is May 2021 for both editions.

Beside the price, the difference between the two editions is in the accessories you get.

The standard version includes the following:

• Main figure
• Articulated hand part x4
• Cruel Oath
• Effect parts

The DX Edition comes with quite a few additional goodies.

• Main figure
• Alternative hand part x6
• Cruel Oath
• Cruel Blood Oath
• Pod 153
• Effect parts
• Ring effect
• Body parts
• Alternative face part x3

You can check out a gallery below. This is not to be confused with the Bring Arts figure released a while ago. Play Arts Kai figures have a bigger scale and more details. Of course, they’re also more expensive.

If you’d rather have 2B instead, she releases within the same line in April 2021. I guess we’ll see A2 next.
