So this is the indirect conclusion of what happens after Niko graduates, she wraps herself as a "present" to Maki because her old family apartment was being demolished @@.

I would love to have a gift like that.

This is such a lovely Nico figure. If only I have enough cash, though.

She's super cute. Her outfit reminds me a little of the Christmas Kotori figure/game promo UR card. I won't have the cash for her though Sad

Nico being released means we're one step closer to sailor Hanayo. I'm excited. My wallet is not.

I'm going to pray that she's still available after April, because RAH Hitagi already has my wallet booked for that month.

spoiler[Even at that hefty price, I'm not getting my hopes up]

It seems that Nico has made her holiday-themed outfit to give Maki a miraculous surprise on a Christmas Eve morning. Cool

If only my wallet were a portal to an endless cash dimension.

If Santa left her under my Christmas tree I don't know if I would die of embarrassment or of the intense joy of having her all to myself! Very Happy

I'm not normally a Christmasy type person. As in buying Christmas related figures, decorations, etc etc. That figure though it pretty darn cute though.

Well, this being an Alter release, many of you will have more than enough time to start saving up for her if you do it now. Any timely release by ALTER is actually a misnomer, fantasy. The company name needs to have some letters transposed to spell its reality: LATER. They are notorious for delayed releases. Does Alter mean this Christmas, 2015 or next Christmas, 2016?

She's releasing in April so neither. Razz

She's actually based on her own card. It was a promo-type already idolized SR that was obtainable during an event...I think Maki's scorematch.

And here's the cute blurb you get when you max out her bond.

Today's a very important day, so I've come to spend it with a very important person.
Merry Christmas! My present to you is little old me! Hee hee. Please take care of this present. Love Nico!
It's too cliche, you say? There's nothing wrong with being cliche!
Because I'm your present, after all! I've got a ribbon! The ribbon is getting untied!
I thought you liked this kind of stuff... I guess I was wrong?
Oh, really? You were really happy that I gave you myself as a present? You're not lying?
Oh... Maybe you think it was a joke, but I was being serious.
Hee hee, that's good. Because I don't want to leave your side today.

It is a good figure but I don't like the outfit. If that outfit were a series of sounds it would be a cacophony.
