Wuthering Waves is getting its first proper scale figure, and it is a character many collectors have been waiting on for quite a while now.
FuRyu's F:NEX line has opened pre-orders for a 1/7 scale Phoebe figure, giving the Nendoroid-only franchise its first premium entry, and the jump in detail and scale compared to the existing chibi figures is immediately obvious.
The figure is already up for pre-order at multiple import retailers, with a confirmed release date before the end of this year, and pricing already shows some meaningful variation across those listings.
Here is what the figure includes, what it costs across those retailers, and how the timing compares to the franchise's existing chibi-tier figures.
F:NEX is FuRyu's premium scale figure brand, sitting well above the company's budget Noodle Stopper prize figures in both price and production quality.
Bringing Wuthering Waves into F:NEX signals FuRyu sees enough demand in the franchise to justify a full-detail 1/7 scale treatment rather than sticking to smaller prize-format pieces, which is a meaningful vote of confidence for a game that only launched a few years ago.
The Phoebe figure stands roughly 26 centimeters tall including its base, built in 1/7 scale with the kind of fine detail FuRyu typically reserves for its higher-end lines.
The sculpt leans into small decorative touches, including golden ornaments and trim on her outfit, tiny bows tied into her hair, and daisies blooming around her feet on the display base, all of which hold up well under close inspection in preview photos.
Pricing varies noticeably by retailer, with HLJ listing the figure at roughly 162 US dollars while other import shops price it anywhere from around 195 to 340 US dollars.
That spread is wider than usual for a single figure, so it is worth comparing a few retailers before committing to a pre-order rather than buying from the first listing found.
The figure is open for pre-order now across retailers including HLJ, AmiAmi, and CDJapan, with a confirmed release date of December 31, 2026.
Most import retailers do not charge until the figure actually ships, which gives collectors room to pre-order early without tying up funds for the full waiting period.
Wuthering Waves' existing Nendoroid figures, Jinhsi and Changli, sit at roughly 51.50 US dollars each, a fraction of what the F:NEX Phoebe figure costs.
That gap mirrors the same pattern seen in other gacha franchises, where a more affordable chibi line covers the roster broadly while only a smaller number of characters get the premium scale treatment.
A first F:NEX figure for a franchise rarely stays a one-off if the line sells reasonably well, and Wuthering Waves has no shortage of visually distinct characters left to cover.
Collectors who want to build toward a full F:NEX shelf should expect additional Resonators to follow Phoebe in future waves rather than treating this as an isolated release, and an EVORETRO 4-Step Acrylic Display Stand makes it easy to add each new figure without a shelf redo.
None of the retailers currently carrying Phoebe's pre-order are based in Canada, so factor in both international shipping and the possibility of Canadian duties and GST once the package crosses the border.
Paying close to release date rather than at the moment of pre-order, which most of these retailers allow, also means the final charge reflects whatever the exchange rate happens to be closer to December rather than today, which can work for or against a buyer depending on how the yen and euro move in the meantime.
Phoebe's design, with its heavy ornamentation and distinct silhouette, translates unusually well into a static scale pose compared to some of the game's more combat-oriented Resonators.
That kind of visual complexity is often exactly what pushes a manufacturer to pick one character over another for a franchise's first scale figure, since the sculpt needs to justify the jump in price and production time over the existing Nendoroid line.

Roughly 26 centimeters tall including its base.
Pricing ranges from roughly 162 to around 340 US dollars depending on the retailer.
Yes, it is the franchise's first entry in FuRyu's premium F:NEX line.
With pre-orders already open and a confirmed release date on the calendar, now is the time to compare retailers and plan display space for Phoebe's arrival. An EVORETRO Acrylic Modular Case gives a 26-centimeter scale figure like this the room it needs once it ships.
