Packaging
The front of the box uses a clean white, gray, and blue design with a large clear window. Sinon and the long Hecate II remain clearly visible inside.
The rear panel uses a minimalist blue graphic inspired by Sword Art Online. The production credits appear along the lower section.
The blister holds Sinon, the rifle, base, and assembly instructions securely. Because the Hecate II and scarf extend far from the body, careful assembly is important.
Sinon 1/7 Scale Figure – Overall Front View
The main front view immediately captures Sinon’s confident GGO appearance. She supports the Hecate II with one hand while raising two cartridges above her head.
Her white scarf sweeps widely across both sides of the figure. As a result, the otherwise relaxed standing pose feels much more dynamic.
A closer front view highlights the layered costume, thigh straps, rifle, and subtle curve of the pose.
Face and Blue Hair
Sinon wears a small, confident smile. Her blue eyes and slightly angled gaze give the portrait a calm and focused personality.
ALTER uses translucent material and soft gradients in the pale blue hair. Meanwhile, the black hair accessories create a strong contrast beside her face.
Raised Cartridges and Scarf
Sinon holds two metallic-gold cartridges between the fingers of her raised hand. The small detail adds a clear GGO theme without making the pose overly aggressive.
The long white scarf creates two sweeping arcs around her body. Its slightly damaged-looking ends reinforce the battle-worn design.
GGO Combat Outfit
The green jacket sits over a white-and-black fitted combat suit with metallic gold accents. Black shorts, belts, pouches, and thigh straps add several layers around the waist and legs.
Glossy black sections contrast with the matte green jacket and pale central suit. In addition, the small blue device at her belt adds a bright accent near the waist.
Hecate II Sniper Rifle
The Hecate II gives the figure much of its horizontal presence. ALTER reproduces the long barrel, scope, bipod, mechanical body, and brown stock with impressive precision.
The metallic finishes contrast well with the warmer wood-like sections. Meanwhile, the shoulder strap helps the enormous weapon look naturally connected to Sinon’s pose.
Opposite Three-Quarter View
From the opposite side, the shape of the jacket and scarf becomes more prominent. The rifle barrel points toward the viewer and adds considerable depth.
A closer angle gives a clear look at her facial profile, jacket pockets, belt, and rifle mechanism.
The scarf rises behind her head and fills the empty space above the rifle. This angle also shows the blue belt device particularly well.
Full Side View
The side view shows how compact Sinon’s body remains compared with the Hecate II. The scarf and rifle extend in opposite directions and create a broad silhouette.
Her long green leg coverings and black boots keep the lower half visually simple. Therefore, attention remains on the upper costume and weapon.
Full Rear View
The rear view reveals a surprising amount of equipment. The Hecate II crosses the entire back while the scarf wraps around the shoulders and extends to both sides.
The short blue hair leaves the scarf, shoulder strap, jacket, and rifle clearly visible. Meanwhile, the black circular base keeps the display visually grounded.
Rear Weapon Details
A closer rear view highlights the brown rifle stock, scope, shoulder strap, belt pouches, and layered costume construction.
The Hecate II includes fine mechanical sculpting across the scope mount, receiver, bipod, and grip.
Glock 18C and Belt Equipment
The rear waist includes multiple pouches and the compact Glock 18C sidearm. These smaller accessories add detail beneath the much larger sniper rifle.
The fitted shorts and thigh straps use subtle folds and clean edge painting. Even the less visible rear areas receive careful sculpting.
Display Base
The black circular base uses bright blue shattered graphics and the SINON logo. Its simple design fits the digital atmosphere of Sword Art Online without distracting from the figure.
The compact base also contrasts with the extreme width of the rifle and scarf. Collectors should allow additional shelf space on both sides.
Paintwork and Display Presence
ALTER combines matte green fabric, glossy black armor sections, metallic weapon finishes, translucent hair, and warm brown rifle parts. As a result, each material remains easy to distinguish.
At approximately 250mm tall, the Sinon 1/7 scale figure has strong shelf presence. However, the Hecate II and flowing scarf make its horizontal footprint much larger than the height suggests.
Sinon 1/7 Scale Figure – Final Thoughts
Overall, the Sinon 1/7 scale figure remains an impressive Sword Art Online release from ALTER. Her confident expression, translucent blue hair, detailed GGO costume, sweeping scarf, cartridges, and massive Hecate II capture her combat style extremely well.
The front provides the strongest complete view. Meanwhile, the side and rear angles reveal the impressive weapon construction, belt equipment, scarf movement, and layered costume details.
Most importantly, the figure balances character presence and weapon detail without allowing the huge rifle to overwhelm Sinon herself. It remains a strong centerpiece for Sword Art Online and GGO collectors.
