The Machibouke series from Bandai specializes in small figures posed as if waiting for someone, and this set brings that concept to the gun-and-girl RPG's cast. The four figures split across two squads: Rapi, Anis, and Neon represent Counters, while Little Mermaid comes from the Old Tales group. The figures stand roughly 4.6 centimeters tall in Rapi's case, with the height varying across the other three types.
Reservations open on Gashapon Online on August 19, 2026 at 11:00 AM and run for about a week until August 25 at 11:59 PM. Each play costs 500 yen including tax.

The order period will end early if the prepared stock sells out.
