“Once in a lifetime” is a phrase that has been woefully watered down. Where it once referred to a moment or product so commandeering that nothing else came close to it, now it’s vernacular. Yet, every so often, something happens that forces people to remember what that phrase means. Something that’s so anomalous that we, as a society, have to gather our collective breath before we can respond. That’s a sentiment Good Smile Company understands. As with their Shou Tucker & Nina Chimera POP UP PARADE figure, they showed us what a once-in-a-lifetime figure looks like. And if you want one, there’s no need to fret about your paycheck; it’s an affordable merch piece at $54.

You can find the figure on their official websitewhile you can see some images below:

The POP UP PARADE Shou Tucker & Nina Chimera Figure — PEAK MEMORABILIA

If our universe is infinite, why do aliens only ever invade us? Maybe we never think about other species getting invaded, or maybe it’s because we’re the only planet with such soul-angry figures. I’d like to think it’s the latter. Be that as it may, Good Smile Company really said, “Let’s jumble some feathers with this one,” and I can appreciate that.

Much like Nina and her dog, the Shou Tucker & Nina Chimera Figure is a single figure. This non-scale 7.09″ (18 cm) figure is a collector’s item unlike any before it, as it perfectly captures one of the most divisive moments in all of anime. Shou and Nina’s expressions are enough to give you chills. The dread that lingered in this scene is flawlessly replicated in this figure. No matter what your thoughts on Shou are, this figure will illicit a response from you.

The clear base of the figures gives you infinite creative freedom on how you choose to display them. Fellow display enthusiasts will no doubt appreciate that.

The POP UP PARADE Shou Tucker & Nina Chimera Figure is expected to ship in the first quarter of 2026; you can order it here.
