Sword Art Online Alice: Swimsuit Ver. 1/7 Scale Figure
This scale figure from Phat! Company features Alice in a beautiful swimsuit. She is posed elegantly with one foot in front of the other as she reaches for the rim of her woven straw hat, which is accented with a light blue ribbon tied in a bow. The two-piece swimsuit she is wearing is a lovely shade of cobalt blue that matches perfectly with her blue eyes. It also has a minimalist floral pattern that also helps enhance her feminine charm. The swimsuit also comes with a sheer, see-through covering that covers her arms and ties around her stomach. Alice’s long, golden hair is also braided behind her and is tied with a light blue bow partway down, leaving the rest to sway behind her back. The included stand is a simple circle made of clear plastic, a decision that does not steal any attention away from the many details of the figure itself.

About Alice Zuberg
Alice Zuberg is a character introduced in the Alicization arc of Sword Art Online and was a childhood friend of both the protagonist Kirito and Eugeo inside of the virtual reality world known as Project Alicization. When she was still a child, Alice accidentally broke one of the Taboo Index laws, a set of rules that must not be broken. Because of this, she was taken away to the Central Cathedral and turned into an Integrity Knight. This process caused her memories to be suppressed and made her eternally loyal to the Axiom Church.
Other Important Sword Art Online Characters
As mentioned before, Alice was rather close friends with both Kirito and Eugeo when they were children. When they were all around ten years old, the two boys were given a Sacred Task - a job that cannot be ignored in the virtual world they live in - to cut down the Gigas Cedar. As the two tried to cut their way through the giant tree, Alice would often bring them food to make sure they kept themselves fed. Another character that is important to Alice is her sister Selka. After Alice was taken away and turned into an Integrity Knight, the lingering memories of Selka are what caused Alice to begin believing Kirito’s story about her past, despite her memories being sealed away several years ago.
