Two Urusei Yatsura figures of Lum appeared at WonHobby 38, with one being a PLAMAX plastic model kit figure and the other a Nendoroid. The two are at various stages of development.
The PLAMAX Lum is the one that is further along. It appeared as a painted prototype at the event. It features the heroine in her trademark Oni bikini.
Here’s how that one is looking:
As for the Nendoroid, it seems like it will show Lum in her school uniform. She wears this once she gets to Earth and starts living there and attending Ataru’s school.
Here’s the initial concept art for that announcement:
New figures inspired by the series’ characters have been coming up rather frequently. This is due to the fact that the new Urusei Yatsura anime adaptation is airing. As a reminder, the second season started back on January 12, 2024. That show is streaming on HIDIVE. The manga is handled by Viz Media.
There’s no release window yet for either the Urusei Yatsura Lum PLAMAX model figure or Nendoroid. However, it seems based on the current update images that we’ll see the PLAMAX kit appear first.
