About this figure

This is Asuna from Sword Art Online, the Hooray Love Cheers version from Banpresto's EXQ line. The Lightning Flash stands in a cheer-themed outfit with pom-poms, chestnut hair flowing, a playful look from the Memory Defrag mobile game. It released in July 2019, in the EXQ line's SAO run. She stands about seven inches tall, PVC and ABS, non-scale. Asuna is the franchise's most merchandised heroine, and the cheer version is one of her more lighthearted figures. EXQ was the dependable prize tier of the era, and older entries have thinned from circulation. She brings a cheerful game-design Asuna to a shelf, the Lightning Flash leading a cheer instead of a charge.
