Good Smile Company (GSC) has announced that pre-orders for the new "Takarada Rikka & Shinjo Akane feat. Toridamono" figure from SSSS.GRIDMAN will officially open on February 13, 2026. This piece is the second major release in GSC's new "COVERS" project, inviting the renowned illustrator Toridamono (トリダモノ) to reinterpret these two popular characters. Its exquisite texture and unique style have already sparked lively discussion on social media.
For fans of SSSS.GRIDMAN and Toridamono-sensei's "voluptuous girl" art style, this is an absolute must-have dream item. Below is an in-depth analysis of this figure's highlights and pre-order information.
Illustrator Toridamono's Unique Interpretation: Redefining Character Appeal
The biggest selling point of this figure is the original artwork personally drawn by Toridamono (トリダモノ)-sensei, known for character design in Atelier Ryza. Toridamono-sensei is famous for the masterful depiction of skin texture, especially thigh contours, and is praised by fans as a master of "voluptuous charm."
The sculptor and painting team strived to materialize the "bouncy" and "dewy" texture from Toridamono-sensei's brush. Official photos show that the figures of Takarada Rikka and Shinjo Akane are full of vitality, retaining the original characters' features while infused with Toridamono's unique, plump aesthetic.
Particularly noteworthy is the eye painting. The production team used a "gradient double-line" technique to depict the double eyelids, a refined method rarely seen in ordinary figures, making the characters' gaze even more profound and captivating.
GSC's "COVERS" Project Second Release: The Ultimate Fusion of Character × Illustrator × Figure
This figure is the second work in Good Smile Company's new "COVERS" project.
The core concept of the "COVERS" project is "Character × Illustrator × Figure"—not simply making an illustration three-dimensional, but rediscovering a character's charm through a specific illustrator's perspective, combined with GSC's top-tier sculpting technology to give classic characters a new soul. Following the first release, choosing the highly topical work SSSS.GRIDMAN is a very successful strategy.
