upLark is going to release the Nia ( ニア ) 1/8 PVC figure form the anime “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann” ( 天元突破グレンラガン ). Will be released September 2009. Around 190mm tall, 6,800 yen.
You can pre-order her here
Nia is my favour character from Tengen Toppa, wow, she is so MOE!!!! XD I always like her in long hair, but somehow this figure makes her looks better with short hair. But why upLark has to release her in September? I have like over US$400 figures pre-ordered for Aug and Sept. I don’t think I can afford any more figure in those 2 months, that sux. =(
I don’t know about you, but to me upLark is a really new figure manufacturer. I checked they website and found that they were used to be “Eye up”, they just changed their name to “upLark” on April 01, 2009 (You can some of their products here and here). Althought they are a fairly new company in the PVC figure industry, their products are pretty good. If you’re still thinking whether to pre-order this figure or not, I’ll say just go ahead. Their quality is pretty good. =]

Finally, a Nia figure that I actually like, though the hair could have been painted better. I’ll probably have to consider how many other expenses I’ll have in September before pre-ordering this or not.
Very cute. I prefer long hair Nia, but I’d like it more if the blue in her hair was lighter; it seems too contrasted. :/
She looks perfect…Finally a decent non-swimsuit figure of Nia. Getting tired of seeing Yoko all the flipping time getting good figure and adorable little Nia ignored. >_<
Huhu actually upLark (or previously Eye up) did create figures for Megahouse before
Holy…?!
That figurine of her is good. Truly sets her apart from Yoko as a moe character compared to the swimsuit one.
Definitely going to get this one.
Btw, Eye up produced good figurines of Gurren Lagann before. The Yoko and Kamina figurines (released last year) are of awesome quality. No surprise for Nia.
Nia!!! Yay!!! She looks pretty good, her hair is the only problem for me, but other than that she looks great! 🙂
