The respective official media of the Japanese company “Hobby Stock” has announced a new collaboration with the popular anime adaptation of the light novel “Sword Art Online” and to the fortune of the fans of the dazzling and charming Asuna Yuuki, she will be the main face of this captivating collaboration.
It is worth noting that this fascinating collaboration between the Sword Art Online anime and the Hobby Stock company will consist of the production of an attractive 1/7 scale figure that will be inspired by the beautiful Asuna Yuuki, one of the main characters of the series’ story.

Another detail to highlight is that this scale figure of Asuna Yuuki will be inspired by an image of the character, in which Asuna is presented to us lightly clothed, wearing only a shirt, which has certain openings that will allow people to see a little of the attractive body of this waifu. The level of detail in the creation of this figure when it comes to meticulously detailing the curves and proportions of Asuna is something to be remarked, making fans of this waifu be captivated by the views that this product offers.
However, this product also has a special version where Asuna will be presented wearing a black shirt that, according to the company Hobby Stock, is a direct allusion to the protagonist of the series Kazuto Kirigaya, better known as Kirito by the otaku community.
According to the information presented on the official website of the Japanese company “Hobby Stock“, this dazzling scale figure of Asuna Yuuki will have an approximate height of 170 mm and will be available at a price of 17,820 yen, which is equivalent to approximately $110.60 U.S. dollars. As previously mentioned, the figure is scheduled to be released for sale in Japan during November of this year and its respective pre-sale period has already begun.
“Sword Art Online” is an Isekai genre light novel that combines action, adventure and romance. It was written by Reki Kawahara and illustrated by Abec and began publication at ASCII Media Works’ Dengeki Bunko imprint in April 2009. In total, 28 volumes of this light novel have been published, and it was reported some time ago that the work has surpassed an impressive 30 million copies in circulation.
In addition to the novel, “Sword Art Online” has been adapted into more than 10 manga versions, each by different authors. All these adaptations have seen the light of day in Dengeki Bunko Magazine, owned by ASCII Media Works (Kadokawa).
On July 7, 2012, an anime adaptation of the Sword Art Online light novel was released, which consisted of several seasons covering different story arcs (Sword Art Online II, Alternative GGO, Alicization and Alicization – War of Underworld) and also has 2 movies (Ordinal Scale and Progressive) and a third movie titled “Sword Art Online: Progressive – Kuraki Yuuyami no Scherzo“.
Sword Art Online puts us in context in a universe where the launch of a technology called NerveGear is announced. This device has caught the attention of gamers around the world and offers the opportunity to experience a fully immersive virtual reality, introducing them to Sword Art Online (SAO), one of the most recent games on the console. This title offers a gateway to the wondrous world of Aincrad, a vivid medieval landscape where users can do anything within the limits of imagination. With the release of this worldwide sensation, gaming has never seemed so real.
However, the idyllic fantasy quickly turns into a brutal nightmare when SAO’s creator traps thousands of players inside the game as many have found that the “log out” function has been removed, and the only method of escape is to beat Aincrad’s one hundred increasingly difficult levels. In addition, any death in the game becomes permanent and ends the player’s life in the real world, a detail that has ignited despair among many players.
Kazuto “Kirito” Kirigaya was lucky enough to try out the beta version of the game, but soon realized that, despite its advantages, he could not overcome SAO’s challenges alone. Teaming up with Asuna Yuuki and other talented players, Kirito strives to tackle seemingly insurmountable trials, but with difficult bosses and menacing dark cults impeding his progress, Kirito discovers that this is much easier said than done.
