Packaging
The white box is decorated with colorful petal-like shapes and a large front window. Nino and her lavender coat are clearly visible before opening.
The back shows front, rear, and close-up photographs of the finished figure. The purple panel complements Nino’s coat and smartphone.
Nino arrives largely assembled inside the blister. The cobblestone base and instruction sheet are packed beneath the figure.
Overall Front View
Nino stands with her legs crossed while looking at her smartphone. Her open coat, handbag, and tilted pose give the display a relaxed sense of movement.
The lavender, mustard, brown, white, and red colors create a warm seasonal palette. The detailed cobblestone base completes the outdoor date theme.
A slightly angled view emphasizes the flowing coat sleeve and the handbag beside her hip.
Face, Hair and Expression
Nino’s bright blue eyes and open smile give the figure an energetic personality. Fine blush marks add warmth to her cheeks.
Her vivid red bob is divided into light, layered strands. The black butterfly ribbons include blue markings and small antenna details.
Rabbit-Shaped Smartphone
The purple smartphone case has two long rabbit ears and a tiny face. It adds a playful detail near Nino’s expression.
Her fingers are individually positioned around the phone, with pink nail paint visible at close range.
Lavender Coat and Plaid Dress
The lavender coat has wide sleeves, black buttons, a white fur collar, and long ribbon ties. Soft folds keep the large surfaces from appearing flat.
Under the coat is a mustard and dark brown plaid dress. A wide black belt defines the waist and adds contrast to the patterned fabric.
Handbag Details
Nino carries a small tan handbag with a gold buckle and zipper. A round white charm hangs from a short gold chain.
The neutral bag color works naturally with the mustard dress and brown boots.
Side Views
The first side view shows the depth of the coat, dress, and crossed-leg pose. Nino’s phone remains close to her face without hiding her expression.
From the opposite side, the handbag and the open front of the coat become more prominent.
Rear View
The rear view is dominated by the softly flared lavender coat. A small buttoned strap decorates the center of the back.
The rear close-up highlights the layered red hair, butterfly ribbons, fur collar, and coat seams. The back of the rabbit-shaped phone is also fully reproduced.
Legs, Socks and Boots
White thigh-high socks feature two narrow dark stripes near the top. The crossed legs give the simple standing pose a stylish silhouette.
The lower angle also shows the layered construction beneath the coat and dress. Even areas normally hidden from the main viewing position are fully painted.
Her dark brown ankle boots have raised heels, folded upper sections, and small gold zipper details.
Cobblestone Display Base
The circular base reproduces uneven reddish-brown cobblestones. Individual stones use different shapes and painted highlights for a convincing outdoor texture.
Its muted colors support the date scene without distracting from Nino’s bright outfit.
Paintwork and Display Presence
The figure combines softly shaded skin, vivid red hair, matte clothing, glossy boots, and metallic handbag details. The plaid pattern remains clean across the folds of the dress.
At approximately 275mm tall, the Nino Nakano Date Style Ver. figure has strong shelf presence. Its upright design does not require excessive width despite the large 1/6 scale.
Nino Nakano Date Style Ver. Figure – Final Thoughts
Overall, the Nino Nakano Date Style Ver. figure is a bright and characterful release from Good Smile Company. Her cheerful expression, butterfly ribbons, stylish coat, plaid dress, rabbit-shaped phone, and handbag capture the date concept effectively.
