Nocturne

One company, two labels, and a catalog built around illustrator art

TL;DR

  • Nocturne opened its site in September 2021 and released Succumarelip, its first listed figure, in March 2022.
  • のくちゅるぬ covers Native-distributed adult releases, while Noctanus reaches general retail through stores such as AmiAmi.
  • The catalog favors large scales, alternate display parts, illustrator originals, and adult game or comic properties.
  • Verified list prices begin at ¥21,780 ($145 USD); most cited releases sit below ¥42,900 ($285 USD), while a scheduled 1/4 Ax diorama edition reaches ¥74,800 ($500 USD).

The first release and the launch of Noctanus

Ten days after its official website went live, Nocturne opened preorders for Succumarelip from Aisei Tenshi Love Mary. The 1/6 scale figure, modeled at one-sixth of the character's intended size, shipped in March 2022 at ¥21,780 ($145 USD). It became the first listed release under the のくちゅるぬ label.

By March 2022, Nocturne was already taking reservations for Dancer and Dancer Roman Ver., the paired launch releases of its second label, Noctanus. Both shipped in January 2023 as 235 mm non-scale figures. The standard edition cost ¥23,980 ($160 USD) and carried a 15-and-up rating, while Roman Ver. cost ¥27,280 ($180 USD) and carried an 18-and-up rating. One sculpt serving two presentations established a version structure that Noctanus continues to use.

How Nocturne's two labels differ

のくちゅるぬ is the original house label and the Native-distributed side of the catalog. Individual product pages identify のくちゅるぬ as the manufacturer and Native as the distributor. Many of these figures are made to order, meaning production is tied to orders placed during a fixed preorder window. Native's overseas store lists Canada and the United States among its supported destinations.

Noctanus is the second house label, not a separate manufacturer. Its pages sit inside Nocturne's official catalog and direct buyers to retailers including AmiAmi. AmiAmi lists Nocturne products and currently offers shipping methods to Canada and the United States. Native and AmiAmi provide distribution routes to North America; neither is documented as Nocturne's parent.

The figures that shaped the catalog

Nocturne's early releases established a preference for large figures with alternate display setups. The 1/5.5 scale Shiina Chizuru DX from Chizuru-chan Development Diary included a desk and camera, while the 1/6 scale Tsujinaka Miho from This Love, Notice It included a partition and replacement body parts. DX is the company's deluxe package tier, usually adding body or scene parts rather than changing the character. Some releases also use cast-off parts, removable components that create another adult display.

The catalog widened without abandoning that structure. Rietta began a three-character Bakunyu Party NTR group in 2024, followed by Terena and Arika. Taimanin RPGX brought Onisaki Kirara in June 2025 and Adult Yukikaze DX in January 2026, with the latter adding lightning-effect pieces to its alternate parts. Noctanus also reached 1/5 scale with Mary Roman Ver. in February 2026, priced at ¥24,200 ($160 USD).

What Nocturne costs and where to buy

The historical list-price floor is Succumarelip at ¥21,780 ($145 USD). Representative steps upward include Rietta at ¥33,000 ($220 USD) and Adult Yukikaze DX at ¥42,900 ($285 USD). Ax Street Ver. Pixel Philia Edition, scheduled for October 2026 at ¥74,800 ($500 USD), is a 1/4 figure with a large forced-perspective diorama. Its scale and price make it a catalog outlier rather than the normal entry point.

A first purchase should begin with the character and the edition structure. Mary Roman Ver. shows Noctanus's large-scale side at ¥24,200 ($160 USD), while Adult Yukikaze DX shows what the deluxe Native route adds at ¥42,900 ($285 USD). Compare standard and deluxe part lists, then allow shelf room for scene pieces before paying the higher price. Native preorder windows can be fixed, and Nocturne continued to publish delay notices in 2026, so future release months should be treated as schedules until shipment is confirmed.

Nocturne's July 2026 announcements and its scheduled 1/4 Ax release show a company still adding products under both labels. Its current position is clear: an active adult-scale specialist moving into larger formats while retaining the alternate-display structure that shaped its first years.
