Honkai: Star Rail's armored mystery warrior is getting a refreshed color variant tied to a new in-game outfit. Confirmed via Tamashii Nations' official SHFiguarts.com listing and reported by Toy People, S.H.Figuarts Sam -Spring Missive- releases November 2026, priced at 13,200 JPY (tax included).
This is a confirmed release with locked pricing, so here's what's included.
Tamashii Nations' official listing, as reported by Toy People, confirms the following:
Sam is the heavily armored identity worn by Firefly, a character whose true form is concealed beneath mechanical armor, so this figure's face replacement parts specifically support recreating her form-change moment between the armored Sam identity and her true appearance. That narrative concealment is a central plot element within Honkai: Star Rail's story, making the Sam-to-Firefly transformation one of the more emotionally significant reveals tied to the character, which is likely part of why Bandai continues to invest in dedicated face-swap parts across multiple releases of this specific character rather than treating it as an optional afterthought.
Rather than an entirely new sculpt, this release recolors the existing Sam figure to match Firefly's newer in-game "Spring Missive" outfit, giving collectors who already own the original colorway a genuinely distinct variant to pursue rather than a straight reissue. Recolor variants tied to specific in-game outfit updates have become a fairly common release pattern for popular gacha and live-service game characters, letting figure manufacturers extend a single sculpt's commercial life across multiple releases without the cost of engineering an entirely new mold.
The combination of flame braid, shoulder, and cape effect parts alongside three wrist pairs gives this figure enough modularity to recreate several distinct combat stances from the character's in-game skill animations, rather than being restricted to a single fixed action pose. That level of part variety is generally reserved for characters Bandai expects strong, sustained collector demand from, since tooling multiple effect-part variations adds real production cost beyond a standard figure with a single accessory set.
For displaying the figure with its flame effect parts attached, EVORETRO's acrylic display risers add elevated shelf presence for the dedicated base.
For organizing the numerous swappable effect and armor parts, EVORETRO's acrylic modular case keeps everything sorted.
Between the flame braid, cape, and shoulder effect parts plus three wrist pairs, this figure is built for dynamic combat poses rather than a single fixed display stance, matching the character's flame-heavy visual identity in-game. Collectors setting up a display should plan ahead for how many effect-part combinations they intend to keep pre-assembled versus swap in and out over time, since the sheer number of small parts benefits from a bit of upfront organization rather than sorting through a mixed pile each time a new pose is attempted.
Honkai: Star Rail operates on a live-service content schedule, with new outfits, story chapters, and character updates rolling out on a regular cadence, which is part of why figure manufacturers like Bandai have leaned into recolor variants tied to specific in-game costume updates rather than waiting years between releases the way a traditional single-story franchise might. That faster content cycle gives collectors more frequent opportunities to expand a favorite character's figure lineup, but it also means staying current with which in-game outfit update a given recolor corresponds to matters more here than it would for a franchise without ongoing content drops.
November 2026.

The armored identity worn by Firefly in Honkai: Star Rail.
A refreshed color palette matching Firefly's newer "Spring Missive" in-game outfit.
A recolor of the existing Sam figure rather than an entirely new sculpt.
To recreate the in-game transformation between Sam's armored identity and Firefly's true appearance.
Honkai: Star Rail's live-service content schedule regularly introduces new in-game outfits, giving figure lines a natural, frequent source of variant releases for already-popular characters.
This Sam -Spring Missive- figure gives Honkai: Star Rail collectors a genuinely distinct recolor with extensive effect parts, ahead of a confirmed November 2026 release. Planning a pre-order now avoids missing the window, especially since recolor variants like this one can sell through initial allocations faster than a completely new character release.
Having risers and a case ready keeps the figure and its many effect parts organized and displayed.
