TL;DR

  • Yura's Baseball and Eve Sugar High reached collectors in 2025, ending VKEND's prototype-only phase.
  • Checked Japanese list prices run from ¥17,800 for Yura to ¥29,700 for Qiongjiu (about $120 to $200 USD), a broader band than the old profile reported.
  • Product credits and retail listings are visible; founders, ownership, legal base, and factory partners remain unconfirmed.

Different properties, familiar hands

Milk: Blooming Bunny brings NIKKE into the catalog, while Florence and Qiongjiu come from Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium. Luo Tianyi Eight Notes adds a virtual-singer collaboration. Beside those licenses sit illustrator-led originals including neco's Hanatsumi, Dora's Hikari, and rurudo's Eve Sugar High. The selection reads less like dependence on one hit property and more like a deliberate exchange between game characters and creator-owned designs.

The creator credits supply continuity across that changing subject matter. 夜鹰 is credited on Hikari, Florence, and Milk, while yurooe sculpted both Hanatsumi and Luo Tianyi Eight Notes. Returning to the same sculptors gives VKEND a recognizable working circle even though it has not published the structure of an in-house design team.

A track record young enough to inspect figure by figure

Eve Sugar High now has hundreds of recorded owners and ratings on Hpoi, plus a detailed MyFigureCollection review of a production copy. That reviewer praised its soft color work and shading, along with the overall shelf presence. The same copy had embedded finish debris and a bent wing, and its footprint required considerable display space. One example cannot define the full run. For buyers, that production-copy review offers more to judge than prototype photographs alone.

Tokyo Figure and AmiAmi list several VKEND releases in Japan. Yura is co-credited to VKEND and Lim Land, while later Tokyo Figure pages for Hanatsumi, Hikari, and Florence identify VKEND directly. Those credits point to a product-level relationship with Lim Land, not parentage or a wider distribution arrangement. VKEND currently makes the most sense for collectors following a particular game character or illustrator who are comfortable judging each release through owner photos and reviews.
