Enterprise Wind Catcher Ver. 1/7 Scale Figure Review
This Enterprise Wind Catcher Figure review takes a detailed look at APEX TOYS’ 1/7 scale racing-themed release from Azur Lane. Using our original photography, we examine Enterprise’s calm expression, metallic cap, silver ponytail, glossy racing outfit, full bust, exposed waist, long legs, flowing jacket, folded parasol, equipment case, Manjuu mascot, and detailed pit-lane display.
APEX gives Enterprise a completely original pose for this figure. She rests one bent leg on a tall equipment case while the other remains extended, creating an elegant but confident racing-queen silhouette.
The pose itself is relatively relaxed, yet the surrounding elements add considerable movement. Her enormous silver ponytail sweeps outward behind the body, while the loose jacket spreads in the opposite direction like fabric caught by the wind.
The result is more than a simple character-on-base display. The equipment case, folded parasol, road-textured platform, racing boards, Manjuu mascot, and checkered graphics create a complete pit-lane scene around Enterprise.

If you collect Azur Lane scale figures, Honolulu and Formidable provide two very different interpretations of large character-focused displays.
Packaging and Contents
The front of the package immediately establishes the racing theme with a white, blue, gray, and checkered graphic design.
A large transparent window reveals Enterprise inside, while character artwork across the lower section previews her metallic racing outfit, silver hair, cap, and sunglasses.
The rear uses several photographs to introduce both the complete scene and smaller character details.
Close-ups highlight the face, open racing outfit, waist, and legs, while a larger image shows how the jacket, equipment case, parasol, and mascot fit into the completed display.
The blister contains the main figure together with the larger display components and optional parts.
Enterprise is packed separately from the folded parasol, equipment case, display pieces, Manjuu mascot, alternate expression, and assembly instructions.
The included replacement arm components allow the jacket to be removed. Our photographs mainly focus on the jacket-on configuration, which gives the finished display its widest and most dynamic silhouette.
Enterprise Wind Catcher Figure – Overall Front View
The main front view brings every major element of the racing scene together.
Enterprise places her left knee on the large blue equipment case while keeping the opposite leg straight. One hand rests confidently near her hip, while the gloved hand holds the folded blue-and-white parasol.
The black jacket spreads widely behind her shoulders and hips. On the opposite side, the long silver ponytail expands outward into an equally large fan of individual strands.
A small Manjuu mascot stands beside the case and prevents the technical pit-lane setup from feeling overly serious.
The broad road-textured base, checkered graphics, racing signs, and equipment case turn the composition into a complete themed display rather than a figure placed on a generic platform.
Closer Front View and Character Presence
A tighter front view shifts attention away from the accessories and toward Enterprise herself.
The metallic navy-purple outfit becomes much more noticeable at this distance. Strong reflections move across the torso, shorts, glove, and boots, while bright blue panels and silver trim break up the darker surfaces.
Despite the relaxed pose, the body line remains dynamic. A full chest, sharply narrowed waist, wide hip line, exposed thighs, and asymmetrical legs create a strong central silhouette between the hair and jacket.
The equipment case also functions as part of the pose rather than simple scenery, supporting the bent leg and creating a second vertical element beside Enterprise.
Face, Lavender Eyes and Calm Expression
Enterprise wears a soft, composed smile that contrasts with the bolder racing outfit.
Her lavender eyes use several tones and small highlights, while the lightly colored mouth keeps the expression understated.
Silver bangs frame the face in uneven layers. Longer strands curve across the chest and help visually connect the portrait with the much larger ponytail behind her.
The restrained expression works particularly well because the costume and pose already provide plenty of visual impact.
Metallic Cap and Sunglasses
The racing cap gives the upper portrait a very different character from Enterprise’s usual naval appearance.
Its surface uses a dark purple metallic finish with visible reflections across the crown and visor.
Orange-tinted sunglasses rest across the top, adding another warm color to an otherwise cool blue, purple, silver, and black palette.
From this slightly elevated angle, the cap, layered bangs, choker, neckline, and long front hair strands can all be inspected without the larger display elements competing for attention.
Side Profile and Silver Ponytail
The side portrait shows how much movement the hair adds to an otherwise stationary pose.
Long face-framing strands sweep forward across the chest, while the ponytail travels in the opposite direction behind the shoulders.
Individual sections spread apart dramatically near the ends, creating a wide feather-like silhouette.
The cool silver-lavender paint remains soft compared with the glossy metallic costume, which helps prevent the large hairstyle from visually merging with the darker jacket.
Glossy Racing Bodysuit and Bust Sculpt
The racing outfit is one of the most distinctive features of the Enterprise Wind Catcher Figure.
A deep metallic purple finish covers most of the costume, accompanied by bright blue chest panels, silver piping, and a highly detailed central zipper.
The zipper extends extremely low through the front, leaving a wide opening between the two upper panels. This structure strongly emphasizes Enterprise’s full bust while keeping the racing-suit styling recognizable.
Small sculpted wrinkles appear around the waist and lower costume, preventing the shiny material from looking like a perfectly smooth hard shell.
APEX also uses contrasting finishes effectively here: matte skin sits directly beside pearl-like fabric, metallic trim, glossy glove material, and the softer jacket.
Waist, Side Cutouts and Outfit Construction
Large openings along the sides make Enterprise’s waist appear especially narrow.
The bodysuit leaves much of the torso exposed between the chest and hip sections. Silver trim follows the curved edges precisely and makes the cutouts easy to distinguish from the surrounding skin.
A pale belt crosses the hips, while the very short lower portion of the outfit fits closely around the body.
From this lower angle, the transition between the full upper body, narrow abdomen, rounded hips, and strong thigh line becomes considerably more pronounced.
Three-Quarter Body View
A three-quarter position provides one of the best angles for appreciating the complete character sculpt.
The sideways twist gives the torso more depth than a straight frontal photograph. At the same time, the hand resting near the hip reinforces the curve through the waist and lower body.
The glossy shorts show sculpted folds and strong specular highlights, suggesting stretched synthetic racing fabric rather than a rigid plastic surface.
Enterprise’s bent leg sits deeper within the composition, while the straight leg creates a clean vertical line toward the base.
Long Legs and Racing Boots
The long legs play an important role in balancing the wide upper silhouette created by the jacket and ponytail.
Large sections of the upper thighs remain exposed between the short racing outfit and the tall boots.
The boots combine purple gradients, blue panels, silver accents, and black-and-white checkered details. A glossy surface catches light strongly around the knees and calves.
One heel remains elevated on the equipment case while the other reaches the road-textured platform below, creating strong asymmetry through the lower body.
Racing Parasol, Equipment Case and Manjuu
The folded parasol gives the forward side of the composition a strong diagonal line.
Blue-and-white fabric sections run from the gloved hand down toward the floor, visually connecting Enterprise’s bent knee with the lower edge of the base.
The equipment case uses a tall rectangular structure with blue panels, silver corner framing, hinges, latches, and a small MANJUU / AZUR LANE label.
Beside it, the tiny yellow Manjuu mascot wears a dark racing cap. Its rounded shape creates a playful contrast against the otherwise sharp mechanical lines of the case.
These accessories make the figure feel much more like a moment inside a racing pit area than a generic promotional pose.
Opposite Front View
Looking from the other side changes which elements dominate the scene.
The equipment case occupies more of the foreground, while the long silver ponytail moves farther behind the body.
This direction also gives a clear look at the glossy glove and the large opening through the center of the racing suit.
The folded parasol remains visible between the body and case, preventing the blue accessory from disappearing into the similarly colored equipment.
More APEX TOYS Figure Reviews
APEX TOYS uses very different presentation styles across its 1/7 scale figures. These two GRIDMAN releases trade Enterprise’s racing environment for elegant China-dress displays.
Rear-Side View and Flowing Hair
The rear side introduces a completely different balance between the character, jacket, and hair.
The ponytail becomes much more dominant from this direction. Numerous pale strands spread outward above the equipment case and create a wide arc behind the head.
At the same time, the jacket sweeps below and around the hair in a darker opposing shape.
Blue lining appears along the inner jacket surface, while small silver details define the outer edge. The contrast makes the garment look much more substantial than it appears from the front.
Full Rear View and Jacket Silhouette
The rear is one of the most dramatic angles of the entire figure.
Enterprise’s long ponytail drops down the center before expanding outward toward the ends. Beneath it, the oversized jacket spreads almost horizontally across both sides.
The raised fabric reveals much more of the very short racing outfit, hips, upper thighs, and asymmetric leg position than can be seen from the front.
The equipment case remains a major part of the silhouette, but Enterprise’s pale hair and skin prevent the dark rear composition from becoming visually heavy.
Rear Lower-Body and Boot Details
A low rear view reveals details that are largely hidden during normal display.
The short racing bottom fits tightly around the hips, leaving much of the lower buttocks and upper thighs visible beneath the lifted jacket.
This angle also clarifies the different leg positions. One knee remains folded onto the equipment case, while the opposite leg extends toward the base.
Glossy boots use different blue and purple sections, while the narrow heels are finished in bright blue. Even in these less visible areas, the paint boundaries remain clearly defined in our photographs.
Jacket and Alternate Expression Options
APEX includes additional parts that allow collectors to change the presentation beyond the configuration shown in most of our photographs.
The jacket can be removed by replacing the relevant arm components. Without the wide black garment, more of the body and silver ponytail remain exposed, creating a cleaner character-focused silhouette.
An alternate embarrassed expression is also included. The optional face provides a different mood from the calm standard expression photographed throughout this review.
These are meaningful additions because neither option requires changing the central pose or racing environment.
Special Skin Finish and Material Contrast
APEX specifically promotes the exposed skin areas as using a special paint intended to create a more skin-like finish.
Visually, the soft matte skin contrasts strongly with the pearl-like racing outfit and glossy boots.
The central zipper and smaller fittings use metallic paint, while the equipment case introduces harder industrial textures through silver framing, hinges, and latches.
Silver hair has a much softer appearance than the jacket, and the orange sunglasses provide a small warm accent around the face.
Because so many materials sit close together, the figure remains visually varied even though most of the overall palette stays within silver, navy, blue, purple, and black.
Racing Base and Matching Series Display
The base uses a rectangular pit-lane design rather than a simple circular stand.
A dark asphalt-like texture covers the floor, accompanied by Azur Lane and racing graphics. Upright panels at the rear add checkered motifs and faction-style emblems.
More importantly, APEX designed this base concept so that Enterprise can be displayed with the matching Baltimore Splendid Gear Ver. and Prinz Eugen Final Lap Ver.
Collectors planning the full racing lineup therefore need considerably more horizontal shelf space, but the connected concept gives the three releases a stronger shared identity.
Display Size and Shelf Presence
Enterprise measures approximately 270mm tall including the base, but height is only part of the space requirement.
The silver ponytail and jacket extend widely behind the body, while the folded parasol creates additional depth beside the tall equipment case.
A straight front view shows the racing scene most clearly. However, a slight three-quarter position is arguably the strongest display angle because it preserves Enterprise’s face while revealing the depth of the body, case, parasol, hair, and jacket.
The rear deserves visibility as well. Hair flow, jacket construction, hips, boots, and the unusual leg arrangement make it much more interesting than a typical secondary viewing direction.
Enterprise Wind Catcher Figure Review – Final Thoughts
Overall, the Enterprise Wind Catcher Figure is a strong example of APEX combining an attractive character sculpt with a complete themed environment.
The original pose works particularly well. Resting one knee on the equipment case gives Enterprise a relaxed racing-queen appearance while also creating natural interaction with one of the largest accessories.
Her calm expression provides an effective contrast against the much bolder outfit. Lavender eyes, silver hair, metallic cap, and orange sunglasses retain an elegant character around the face without competing with the costume.
The glossy racing suit is one of the main highlights. Pearl-like purple surfaces, blue panels, silver trim, a deep zipper opening, side cutouts, and tight lower sections make the design visually interesting from almost every direction.
Enterprise’s ponytail and jacket are equally important to the finished silhouette. Both extend far beyond the central body and create a strong sense of wind around an otherwise stationary pose.
The folded parasol, equipment case, Manjuu mascot, racing boards, and road-textured base complete the scene without taking attention away from Enterprise herself.
Collectors also receive useful display options through the removable jacket and alternate embarrassed expression, even though our photography primarily focuses on the standard jacket-on configuration.
The main practical drawback is shelf space. At approximately 270mm tall, the figure is already substantial, and the spreading hair, jacket, case, and parasol require additional width and depth.
For collectors of Enterprise, Azur Lane, APEX TOYS, or racing-themed scale figures, Wind Catcher Ver. offers an appealing combination of confident character posing, glossy paintwork, detailed accessories, and an unusually complete pit-lane presentation.
