Alter announced two new figure releases in July 2026, both scheduled for 2027. The 1/7 scale Hellagur Gala Night Ver. from Arknights is set to ship in July 2027 as an AmiAmi exclusive. It is the fourth figure in a series based on the game's 2nd anniversary illustration, featuring metallic detailing on a dark base. The figure of Implacable from Azur Lane follows a week later, also in 1/7 scale, with a standard release in May 2027 and a Special Ver. with interchangeable parts for alternative expressions and poses. The Special Ver. is priced higher at 39,380 yen compared to 31,680 yen for the regular version. These announcements continue Alter's pattern of producing premium scale figures from popular mobile game franchises, though the two lines do not share a common game or event.
