A new NSFW statue figurine of Yor from Spy x Family is dividing fans as its “Luxury” option features a nude version of the popular character.
As any fan understands, the figurine and model statue industry is vitally important to the wider anime and manga industry; providing a level of fan support, income and engagement that serves to only aid a particular series or franchise.
However, in the world of model statues and figurines, NSFW and ‘lewd’ versions can often be a sticky talking point, with some fans accepting them as a part of the community whilst others argue their expletive nature is rather crass.
This week, a new NSFW statue of Yor is going viral around the world, as Spy x Family fans argue the merits of the figurine and its hefty price tag.

The 1/6 figurine set is currently available to preorder on various websites including Favor GK, Sugo Toys and Games Animation Collectables.
The ‘Standard Version’ is currently listed for £187.11 (GAC), $278.99 (Favor GK) and AUD $359.95 (Sugo), including the basic character figurine and base.

The statue will launch in Fall 2022, but a specific release window for the figurine has not yet been shared. However, there are Deposit payment options available on GAC and Favor GK for both versions that show significant reductions in total cost.

It's pretty disappointing seeing that Yor figure considering how much Spy x Family has strayed from traditional anime fanservice :/

As noted by YouTuber Goken, the speed at which companies can produce and distribute figurines like the new NSFW Yor statue is impressive.
“The speed in which these cultured artists can just throw out these figures, statues, whatever you want to call them, is just insane. So I woke up to this tweet and I don’t know, I shouldn’t even be surprised anymore.” – Goken, via YouTube.

A week of NSFW figurine announcements
As many avid Twitter users will have surely come across, the NSFW figurine of Yor is not the only questionable anime statue being recently revealed.
Last week, Banana Studio announced their next figurine of Eren from Attack on Titan. Whilst the pose and general design of the statue isn’t anything to cause major controversy, it’s the removable towel feature that has raised eyebrows.
However, eyebrows aren’t the only thing getting raised with the NSFW Eren figurine, with ‘flaccid’ and ‘erect’ options also reportedly available.

In fact, on April 7th, just two days before the anime premiered, it was revealed that 15 million copies of the manga were in circulation.
Then, only 10 days later, that number was increased to 16 million copies – and then to 17 million copies by the end of the month, including one million copies in France alone.
This week, after the release of episode 5 “Will They Pass or Fail”, it was shared that the manga has now surpassed a fantastic 18 million copies worldwide!
