Raise Dream

A scale figure maker that builds choice into the display.

TL;DR

  • The retail record located for this article starts with Iron Saga's Elaine, a soft-material 1/6 figure released under the StepDREAM name in October 2023.
  • Remilia Scarlet and Flandre Scarlet became the defining display: two separate Touhou Project figures with connecting bases.
  • The catalog pairs compact 1/7 figures at ¥7,150 and ¥8,580 (about $50 and $55 USD) with elaborate 1/6 releases reaching ¥36,300 (about $240 USD).
  • Raise Dream is active, but its legal company name, founding date, leadership, and headquarters city are not publicly verified.

Remilia and Flandre form one connected display

Raise Dream sold Remilia Scarlet and Flandre Scarlet in separate boxes, then designed their bases to join. Both Touhou Project figures are 1/6 scale, a format that reproduces a character at roughly one sixth of the implied full height. Military uniforms, wings, flames, and broad scenic bases turn the sisters into one continuous battlefield composition.

The pair also shows how much space Raise Dream is willing to claim. Remilia measures 38.5 cm tall, while Flandre reaches 44 cm across. Each carried a ¥36,300 tax-inclusive Japanese list price (about $240 USD), putting the complete scene at ¥72,600 before shipping (about $485 USD).

The important idea is not size alone. The base is part of the sculptural composition, and the second figure changes how the first one reads. That approach makes the Scarlet sisters the clearest introduction to Raise Dream's catalog.

Elaine introduced the StepDREAM name

Before Raise Dream appeared on the Scarlet sisters, the maker used StepDREAM. Milestone now describes Raise Dream as formerly StepDream. The earliest release located for this article is Iron Saga's Elaine New Year Special Baby Skin Ver., which HobbySearch records as an October 2023 release priced at ¥24,200 (about $160 USD).

Elaine made materials part of the concept. Her body used a TPU, TPE, and PVC composite intended to create soft sections, while the complete product also used ABS and aluminum. A folding screen and five New Year decorations extended the figure into a small furnished scene.

One release cannot establish a company-wide quality record. It can establish an early design interest, and Elaine already combined an unusual body material with a scenic setting. Raise Dream carried that interest forward through connecting bases and alternate display configurations.

What Raise Dream offers collectors now

Raise Dream now works at two very different levels. Asaki and Mashiro Kanon are compact 1/7 figures with Japanese list prices of ¥7,150 and ¥8,580 (about $50 and $55 USD). The larger 1/6 catalog adds furniture, broad bases, interchangeable parts, or multiple bodies, depending on the release.

Snowbreak: Containment Zone's Cherno and Meursault Apprentice Maid Ver. makes that choice explicit. The ¥17,600 regular edition (about $115 USD) uses one body with interchangeable parts for the two forms. The ¥27,500 deluxe edition (about $185 USD) includes two complete figures, so both can stay on display at once.

Start with the format that suits the shelf. Asaki and Mashiro Kanon offer the compact route. Elaine is the material experiment, Cherno and Meursault center on configuration, and the Scarlet sisters ask for the cost and footprint of a linked 1/6 scene.

The record remains active. HobbySearch lists Aether Gazer's Lingguang Beautiful Jiangshi as a painted 1/6 PVC and ABS figure by RaiseDream at ¥31,240, while HobbySearch and HLJ list it for April 2027. Corporate details remain sparse, but the product record now reaches from one unusual StepDREAM release to a continuing slate of licensed figures.

More for collectors: The Raise Dream catalog, release by release

Elaine New Year Special Baby Skin Ver. from Iron Saga is the earliest release located for this article. HobbySearch lists the StepDream figure for October 2023 at ¥24,200 (about $160 USD). Its 1/6 body uses TPU, TPE, and PVC composite material, and the set adds ABS, aluminum, a folding screen, and five New Year decorations.

Asaki followed in 2024 as a 1/7 PVC and ABS figure. Milestone lists ¥6,500 before tax, equal to ¥7,150 with tax (about $50 USD). The 2025 Touhou Project releases moved in the opposite direction: Remilia Scarlet and Flandre Scarlet are separate 1/6 figures at ¥36,300 each with tax (about $240 USD), with bases made to connect.

Cherno and Meursault Apprentice Maid Ver. from Snowbreak: Containment Zone came in two 1/6 configurations. The ¥17,600 regular edition (about $115 USD) provides one Cherno body, an interchangeable Meursault head, and an interchangeable lower body. The ¥27,500 deluxe edition (about $185 USD) provides a Cherno figure, a Meursault figure, and two replacement lower-body parts.

Mashiro Kanon Swimsuit Ver. returns to the compact side of the catalog as a 1/7 PVC and ABS figure at ¥8,580 (about $55 USD). Lingguang Beautiful Jiangshi from Aether Gazer carries the premium 1/6 format forward at ¥31,240, with an April 2027 release target.

More for collectors: Prices and display space

The verified Japanese price range is ¥7,150 to ¥36,300 (about $50 to $240 USD), but the footprint can matter as much as the price. Flandre is 44 cm wide, and the complete Scarlet-sisters scene requires two large figures. Cherno's deluxe edition doubles the complete bodies, while its regular edition keeps the concept to one figure with interchangeable parts. Raise Dream is therefore better compared release by release than treated as one fixed price tier.
