The Nendoroid figure of Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian‘s Alisa Mikhailovna Kujo, a.k.a. Alya, is currently up for pre-order. While you won’t be able to hear the nendoroid mutter in Russian, the KADOKAWA product comes with five speech bubbles — which have both Russian text and bracketed Japanese translations — to capture that aspect of the character.
Going by the Japanese translations, three of the speech bubbles feature single words, such as “cute” or “idiot.” For the bubbles with longer sentences, one has Alya muttering about the direction of your gaze, while the other has her expressing her desire to receive attention. The last two sound like perfect fits for the glaring face plate, with the other face options being the open-mouthed smiling face and smiling face.
Aside from the speech bubbles (and the support arm and attachment part for them), there will be parts that allow for alternate poses, although the speech bubbles seem to be the only prop-type optional parts available.
According to Good Smile Company’s listing, Nendoroid Alya (or Nendoroid Alisa Mikhailovna Kujo, as the product is officially named) costs 7,400 yen (~US$50.22) and will be available for pre-order until September 25 JST. Shipping will begin in March 2025, and buyers are limited to three orders per person.
