I got an unofficial and un-branded non-articulated (static) figure to review. And it's Alice, a cute but powerful, high-tier sniper unit from the gacha game, Goddess of Victory: NIKKE. I play this mobile/PC gacha game a lot. Why you ask? Because I like its "physics". By the way this game is like "I came for the TNA, but stayed for the plot". Trust me, the story, character development, world building and gameplay of this game is awesome.
"Rabbity, please take me to a world where everyone lives in happiness."

THE FIGURE
|
Figure front view |
I heard that this is a painted GK or garage kit. I'm not sure but what's important, in my opinion, is that this figure looks really good for a cheap knockoff, really presentable. The color pallete of this character is very eye catching because of the vibrant colors.
|
Figure back view |
Her pose is based on her Live 2D model in the game. Now she is in 3D static figure form, we can view her in different angles.
|
Figure left view |
By the way, Alice is a cute Nikke with an innocence of a child and really like the Wonderland and rabbits theme. But looks and attitude can be deceiving in battle. She's powerful, she kills huge boss Raptures really quick during her Burst skill.
|
Figure right view |
Anyway, this is a larger figure, 1/7 scale. I really appreciate the sculpt and details of this cheap figure.
|
A closer look at Alice. |
Let's take a look closer at this figure of Alice. Yeah, it looks really nice. She's really cute. The headsculpt looks pretty, she doesn't have the BFDS "Bootleg Face Derpiness Syndrome". While the eyes looks good, they lack that gloss finish that most of the authentic figures have. The face also got a nice blush on the cheeks.
|
Side view up close |
There are some inaccuracies on the paint application. Her pink gloves aren't just pink, they should have white (or lighter pink) color on its palms.
|
The back view |
Alice's hair have wavy, twirly twin tails that looks really good but the color is a little pale. Looks like the paintjob on the hair is unfinished. It's still pink but really, really pale.
|
Alice's suit |
Alice is wearing a skin-tight pink full-body suit and she's wearing a reddish pink cropped jacket on top. The pink suit looks really smooth and have some details. It's not glossy though, unlike the original. There are some missing paint details like the three white squares at the middle of the chest area.
|
Curvy! |
Here's Alice's backside up close. The pink suit is really skin-tight that we can see Alice's glorious curves.
|
Alice's cropped jacket. |
The jacket looks nice and got some really good paintjob and sculpt. The "superb" and other texts and letters are legible. The sleeves of the jacket have single white stripe with black strap.
|
Jacket's look at the back. |
The back of the jacket have less details. It got that short black strap with a metal hoop. Alice's printed name is missing at the back. I forgot to mention that there are some tiny silver rivets or studs around the jacket. The silver paintjob are clean.
|
Alice's legs |
The leg area looks really smooth but super basic.
|
I guess this is where the bootleggers got the name for this figure. |
The lower area of the suit have a huge "superb" text on the left leg. A smaller sentence is found under the superb text. It's clear and legible too, that's good.
|
Alice's tiny pair of shoes. |
Alice is wearing white socks. They got ridges for detail. And lastly she got a black and white pair of shoes. The paintjob on the shoes is clean.
ACCESSORIES
|
Alice's equipment |
For accessories, she doesn't have a lot. She only got her sniper rifle and her removable headphones.
|
Amazing Wonderland Sniper Rifle |
Her Amazing Wonderland sniper rifle looks really good. I don't know what sniper rifle model this is based on, but the details and paintjob is great. It got a nice soft and flexible strap that pegs on Alice's left shoulder.
|
Don't mind Alice's missing head. Just look at where the arrow points. |
To equip the sniper rifle, you must first detach the head then slide in the rifle's strap to the left shoulder of the figure then peg the strap to the peg hole.
|
Rifle strap pegged in. Did you know a Nikke's head can survive for a limited time when its body gets destroyed? |
Once the sniper rifle is pegged securely on the shoulder, put the head back on the figure.
|
Head back on its body. |
The sniper rifle completed the look of this figure.
|
Alice's bunny headphones with mic. |
Alice is wearing pink headphones with mic and short bunny ears. Looks cute and it's removable. The white mic is flexible. The logo on the headphones are nicely printed. And the ears have passable paintjob. The head and ear cushions doesn't have any black paint applied.
|
The bunny headphones makes Alice look even cuter. |
The headphones doesn't have any pegs, it just sits on top of Alice's head. It's kinda flexible enough and kinda loose. I guess so that you can adjust the placement of the headphones.
|
Display base. |
This figure have very basic translucent reddish pink circular display base. It only got one peg hole where you peg in the left foot of this figure.
|
Full body shot |
Once pegged on the base, the stance of this Alice figure is kinda leaning to its right.
|
Back view |
She's not standing kinda straight like the original. But still it looks really good on display.
|
Lower angle shot |
Here's a few more pics of the completed static figure of Alice in different angles.

Alice looks really good. It's a good-looking figure.

QUALITY ISSUES
Being an un-official, unbranded knock-off figure, there are some flaws on this figure.
- The figure is leaning to the right a bit.
- The headphones don't sit well properly on the head.
- No gloss finish on the eyes and body-suit.
- Some missing paint details.
Aside from those minor flaws. This figure is really great.
CONCLUSION
This concludes my review of the static figure of Alice, or "Superb" based on the packaging. It's really cheap but looks great and it's a 1/7 scale figure. She's really looks nice on display. This knock-off static figure doesn't disappoint. While this figure is really great and cheap, it only costs Php.650.00 ($11.30), I don't recommend this because it's a knock-off. I just bought this because I want a Nikke figure on display, but the originals are really expensive. Another reason is that Alice is one of the best Nikkes in the game when maxed out including her equipment with the correct stats.
Cheers and Happy Collecting!
