Most of the entries in this lineup consist of acrylic items, apart from the A4-sized clear files that are available as a 3-in-1 set for ¥1,650 (~$10.35). The collection primarily features acrylic keychains and stand dioramas priced at ¥1,320 (~$8.30) and ¥3,960 (~$24.90), respectively. Each item category will feature three separate versions focusing on the game’s main characters: 2B, 9S, and A2.

Pre-orders for the items are available via Square Enix’s Japanese e-Store for people residing in Japan. AmiAmi is also offering the same lineup with discounted prices and international shipping support.

While Raita Kazama has been well-known for his works in the Xenoblade Chronicles series, this is not the first time he has provided his own rendition of NieR: Automata characters. The artist had previously drawn a version of A2 when she appeared as a crossover guest character for Star Ocean: Anamnesis in 2018.

The 9th anniversary of NieR: Automata falls in 2026, based on the initial release in Japan for PlayStation 4 on February 23, 2017. Square Enix has since gradually brought the game to PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
