WAVE

Wave is a figure manufacturer and publisher that has recently focused on reprints and merchandise for properties like Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! and Wuthering Waves, with no new original figure lines announced since the reprint of the Uzaki Yanagi figure.

Synthesized from 14 Yomimono stories · updated Aug 10

Wave's recent activity centers on a reprint of its 1/7 scale figure of Uzaki Yanagi from 'Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! ω,' designed by the manga's creator Take Sensei. The figure, in a cow-pattern bikini, is available for pre-order on Amazon Japan at 19,800 yen with a December 31, 2026 release. This reprint is the only figure-related story directly attributed to Wave in the provided coverage, suggesting a quiet period for the studio's own releases.

Beyond Wave's direct output, the company appears in the context of broader industry news. A weekly game release roundup mentions Wave's name alongside dozens of other titles, but no specific Wave product is detailed there. The remaining stories cover Wuthering Waves merchandise, including a Nemunemu Series of deformed figures from Hobby Sakura and a Razer peripheral collaboration, as well as the game's version updates and anniversary event. These are not Wave projects.

The coverage also includes unrelated announcements: a short anime adaptation of 'I'm Dating a Dark Summoner!' produced by WWWave Corporation's Deregula label, and virtual singer Sakusuzaku's debut album under Pony Canyon. Neither involves Wave. The dossier thus reflects a studio with minimal recent news, limited to a single figure reprint and no new original work or major announcements.
