This kit is Nika Nanaura released as part of the Figure-rise Standard series. She's a character who appears frequently alongside the main character in The Witch from Mercury, and this version comes in her green school uniform outfit.

First off, the basic construction is pretty much the same as previous kits, with the same solid articulation and joint strength we've come to expect. Compared to earlier releases though, there are a lot more options included here, letting you recreate a variety of scenes. For starters, a seated lower body is included so you can naturally pose her sitting on the floor. The sleeves can also be swapped to soft vinyl parts for more natural-looking poses, though they do feel a bit out of place.

You can swap between 3 facial expressions, but 2 of those faces are blank, meaning you'll need to apply the eyes using waterslide decals — and as always, getting them positioned naturally in exactly the right spot is still a bit tricky. One of the faces also lets you choose between white and pink parts for the inside of the mouth. The black upper portion of the top can be swapped for a part designed with shoulder articulation in mind, and the left thigh comes in two versions — one with a pocket and one without. On top of that, a tablet she can hold in her hand is included, with a choice of 2 seals for the screen.

The big selling point of this kit is that all these generous options let you recreate a variety of scenes. Being a supporting character, the kit actually comes with better overall content than the main characters — probably to boost its appeal. The one downside is that the knees tend to pop out during posing, but since you can just glue them if it bothers you, it's hard to call it a major flaw. Either way, if you enjoyed The Witch from Mercury and have a soft spot for Nika as a character, this is definitely a kit worth picking up :-)
