The Case Study of Vanitas’ Noé Archiviste joins Prime 1 Studio’s high-end figure line
A new 1/7 scale figure of the vampire Noé Archiviste from the popular anime series The Case Study of Vanitas has been announced.
The new figure is the latest release from “PRISMA WING,” a high-end brand from the manufacturer Prime 1 Studio.
The Case Study of Vanitas is a popular series set in a steampunk version of 19th-century Paris, which follows the adventures of the vampire Noé and the human Vanitas.
This new figure was created under the direct supervision of the series’ original creator, the acclaimed manga artist Jun Mochizuki.
It features a high level of detail in the sculpting of Noé’s light-colored hair, his elegant clothing, and his ever-present cat, Murr, who is perched on his left shoulder.
The figure is displayed on a special, themed diorama base with a chess motif, which is decorated with gears and butterflies.
This base is designed to be a companion piece, meant to be displayed alongside the previously released PRISMA WING figure of the character Vanitas to create a complete scene.
A special “Bonus Version” of the figure is also available, which is exclusive to the official Prime 1 Studio online store.
This version includes an exclusive, special “mini card” as a bonus gift.
The “PRISMA WING – The Case Study of Vanitas – Noé Bonus Version” stands at approximately 34 centimeters tall and is priced at ¥49,390 (approx. $336 USD/£248 GBP).
Pre-orders for the new figure began on Wednesday, the 17th of September, at 12:00 PM Japan Standard Time via the official Prime 1 Studio store and other select hobby goods retailers.
The figure is scheduled to be released in October of 2026.
