Hanabee's officially licensed 1/6 scale Yinlin figure from Wuthering Waves has been in pre-order for most of 2026, and the window has moved well past the before-you-order stage for most buyers.
The figure's cancellation deadline already passed back in March 2026, and shipping has been staggered since: orders placed with the early bonus window began shipping before September, while standard orders are now tracking toward a December 2026 ship date.
That makes a before-you-pre-order framing stale for anyone reading this now. The more useful question is what happens next for collectors who already locked in an order, and whether new buyers can still realistically get in.
Here is where things actually stand on this figure heading into its final shipping push.
Hanabee's Yinlin stands approximately 33.5cm tall including its base, built in PVC and ABS at 1/6 scale, and ships with a bonus Yinlin badge for collectors who ordered within the eligible window.
This is the officially licensed version of the character, distinct from several unlicensed resin garage kit interpretations from smaller studios that have also circulated for this figure.
The cancellation deadline for changing or dropping an order was March 18, 2026. Collectors who placed their order before the end of March, with the bonus badge included, are in the group whose figures began shipping ahead of September 2026.
Orders placed after that window, without the bonus, are tracking toward a December 2026 ship date instead. If you ordered recently through a retailer still listing this figure, check which of those two shipping groups your specific order actually falls into.
If your order qualified for the early bonus window and you have not received a shipping notification yet, it is reasonable to check in with your retailer directly, since that group's figures should largely already be in transit or delivered.
If you ordered later and are in the December group, there is genuinely nothing to do yet but wait out the remaining weeks, since that timeline was set from the manufacturer's own production schedule rather than an individual retailer's handling.
Several retailers, including HobbyLink Japan, PlazaJapan, and Hanabee's own listings, were still showing this figure as available for order as of this writing, though availability narrows as the manufacturer's production run fills up.
A new order placed now would fall into the later shipping group, so anyone ordering at this point should expect a wait that extends past the original December estimate rather than an immediate ship.
Because Yinlin is a popular enough character to attract garage kit studios, several resin statue interpretations from smaller producers have also been available alongside Hanabee's officially licensed PVC version.
If licensing status matters to you, confirm a listing specifically names Hanabee as the manufacturer rather than assuming any Yinlin figure listing is the same officially licensed release covered here, since pricing and quality expectations differ meaningfully between an official release and an independent garage kit interpretation.
At roughly 33.5cm tall, this figure needs considerably more shelf depth and height than a typical Nendoroid or smaller prize figure, so plan display space before it actually arrives rather than after.
An Acrylic Modular Case in a larger size handles both dust protection and the visual presentation a premium 1/6 scale piece like this one deserves, and an EVORETRO 4-Step Acrylic Display Stand helps pair it with smaller figures from the same game.
Hanabee's staggered shipping approach, bonus-window orders first and standard orders later, is a common pattern for licensed anime and gacha-game figures manufactured in limited production runs.
Expect future Wuthering Waves figure announcements to follow a similar early-bird-versus-standard shipping split, so factor that into your timing expectations the next time a new character figure opens for pre-order.
Early-bonus orders placed before the end of March 2026 began shipping before September 2026.
Standard orders without the early bonus are tracking toward a December 2026 ship date.
Some retailers were still accepting orders, though new orders fall into the later shipping group.
Hanabee produces the officially licensed 1/6 scale PVC version of this figure.
Orders placed within the early bonus window include a Yinlin badge.
Whether you're still waiting on a December shipment or already have the figure in hand, set up the display space now. Browse our figurine protector and display case collection for a case sized to a large-scale figure like this one.
A figure this size holds up best away from direct sunlight and dust, so plan its final shelf spot with those two factors in mind before it actually arrives.
