!@#$ YES! It's A Viral Figure!

SURPRISE AWESOME!


What more needs be said? In addition to a decently cute Nia figure (with interchangeable short and long hair), upLark has also released information on a figure of Viral, Gurren Lagann's earliest antagonist.
The cat-shark-man isn't the most impressive figure I've ever seen, but god damnit, it's a VIRAL FIGURE. So I don't care. I would totally spend the requisite ¥7800 (about $81 USD) on him. Because lord knows when I'd have another opportunity, cheap trading figures aside.

Nia and Viral are both due out in September, and Nia retails for ¥6800 (about $70 USD), if you're interested in her.

As much as I love Viral's character, I'm not feeling this figure. I'd prefer a Simon to go with that recent Nia one. It'd be cute to have a couple <3

This is really tempting me, if they ever release a time-skip version, or an adult Nia figure I'd probably break down and order them. Though like you said, who knows if or when another Viral will come out.

I like the Viral. More Viral merch would definitely be awesome. I'd like to see a figure of him in his Super Galactic outfit.

Viral was the only thing I liked about that show. Not enough face-time with this figure, though.

Hells Yes, I so want one of those. But I'm in the middle of looking for a new job.
