VISION, a figure manufacturer, has launched a new trading figure brand called "CHILLfigg," and has been releasing a flurry of titles, starting with the first release, "To LOVEru -Trouble- Darkness," in August 2026, followed by the second release, "K-On!", in September. And now, it has been decided that the third product, "Girls und Panzer," will be released in October 2026! In this article, we interviewed TT, the development manager, about the background of the release of "CHILLfigg Girls und Panzer."
Whether you love just one character, the whole group, or want more, CHILLfigg is a newly launched trading scale figure series that's easy to display and collect in your room, on your desk, or anywhere you're close to home.
We asked the manufacturer's representative about the special features of the third CHILLfigg release, "Girls und Panzer"!
--Could you tell us why you chose "Girls und Panzer" as the third item in this series?
TT : When I thought about what works still enjoy strong support, the first thing that came to mind was "Girls und Panzer." It's a long-running series with media development continuing for nearly 15 years, and this year we've also announced the release of the theatrical film "The Final Chapter" Part 5, as well as the spin-off works "More Love-Love Operation!" and the pilot episode of "Ribbon Samurai," so I think we can expect even more excitement!
—So it's a work that combines stable popularity with current trends. How were the characters selected to be made into figures?
TT : When selecting the 4 to 6 characters to be commercialized, we considered making them the "Anglerfish Team" led by the protagonist, but we wanted to give each school a chance to shine, not just Oarai Girls' Academy, so we selected the captains of each school who are popular in the TV series.
—The illustration that the figure is based on is the official visual that is also used on panels installed in various locations around Oarai, the setting of "Girls und Panzer," right?
TT: Yes, I think it's a familiar illustration that will make a "Wow!" sound to avid fans who have visited Oarai (laughs).
--When you purchase a CHILLfigg, we hope you'll take the figure with you when you visit Oarai and take a photo with the panel.
TT : Yes, it seems like it would be fun as a way to support your favorite idol.
—How were the sculptors for the figures selected?
TT: The CHILLfigg series of trading figures requires working on multiple characters simultaneously, so we wanted to commission an experienced sculptor who could maintain a consistent level of quality. That's why we commissioned Sparrow, who possesses both a proven track record and technical skills.
—Could you tell us about any particular points you focused on or any difficulties you encountered when creating this item?
TT : Because of the popularity of "Girls und Panzer," there have been many figures released in the past, so we did our best to make sure ours wouldn't fall short in comparison! Also, since CHILLfigg is designed to be displayed in groups of multiple figures, we proceeded carefully to ensure that the height differences between each character didn't look unnatural.
—Could you tell us about any notable points for each character?
TT : We put a lot of effort into the details, even the small items that characters like Nishizumi Miho, Darjeeling, and Kay are holding, so we hope you'll pay attention to those details as well.
TT : "Nishizumi Maho" has a cool aura about her, while "Anchovy" and "Katyusha" are sculpted to capture their energetic and lively personalities. We hope you enjoy the contrast between their stillness and dynamism; it would be a great reward for us as developers!
--thank you very much.

What is CHILLfigg?
"CHILLfigg" is a new figure brand from figure manufacturer VISION. As trading figures, each product typically features 4 to 6 different figures and is sold in two forms: blind box random (individually sold) items and complete boxes. The complete box contains all the figures released in the series. Each figure is approximately 160mm tall, making them a convenient size for display. These CHILL♪ figures are easy to display in your room or on your desk, and are easy to collect.
The name "CHILLfigg" comes from CHILL (relax) + Figure + gg. It means, "If you get the figure you wanted, gg! Collect lots of them and feel chill!" * "gg" is internet slang mainly used in chat at the end of online game matches, and is an abbreviation for Good Game (it was a good match, nice game).
