Alter has opened up pre-orders for a 1/7 scale figure of Merlin (Prototype) from Fate/Grand Order Arcade. She’ll cost 33,230 JPY (about $229.40) and has a release window of December 2024.
The figure shows Merlin (Prototype) in her second Ascension, when she has removed the hood she has in her first Ascension. There are some flowers on her stand, right near her feet, which look like the flowers that she and Merlin can both create as part of their magic. As for her pose, she is standing there while holding her staff. This is the exact same pose she has in her artwork on her character card when you get her in the game.
In both the mobile Fate/Grand Order and the arcade version of the game, Merlin (Prototype) appears as a 5-star Servant. However, she’s only a Caster in Arcade. The Fate/Grand Order version of her is a 5-star Pretender who calls herself Lady Avalon. Lady Avalon’s second Ascension is a lot more swimsuit-themed, since she debuted during a summer event. This Merlin is from the same Fate/Prototype timeline as Arthur Pendragon. She serves as the female counterpart to the male version of Merlin that Fate fans are more familiar with.
The Fate/Grand Order Arcade Merlin (Prototype) figure is available for pre-order from AmiAmi and she’ll come out in December 2024.
