Quick answer

If you collect Wuthering Waves scale figures and want Augusta in 1/7 scale, the Hobbysakura pre-order at USD 132.30 is worth locking in before the August 30, 2026 close date. If you need a figure in hand within months or you are not sure the character will stay in your display rotation, skip this pre-order and wait for in-stock listings after the September 2027 US arrival.

What you are actually reserving

This is a pre-order, not an in-stock purchase. The Hobbysakura Augusta 1/7 scale figure is scheduled for a May 2027 manufacturer release and a September 2027 US arrival. Your payment reserves one unit at the catalog price of USD 132.30, compared with a catalog comparison price of USD 210.00. The set includes a 58mm badge as a bonus.

The figure is PVC and ABS, stands roughly 285mm tall, and is an official product. Those specs matter because they tell you the shelf footprint and material durability you can expect. If you already own 1/7 scales from other series, Augusta will sit in a similar height range, so plan vertical clearance rather than a deep shelf.

Timing: why the close date matters more than the release date

The pre-order close date is August 30, 2026. After that, you are relying on cancellations, retailer extras, or aftermarket pricing. The release date is May 2027, with a US arrival in September 2027. That is a long gap between payment and delivery.

Before committing, decide whether you are comfortable with that wait. If you are new to anime figure pre-orders, a 12-month gap is normal for scale figures, but it still ties up money. If you would rather not wait, look at in-stock plush or smaller merch instead.

How Augusta compares with another 1/7-scale pre-order

The Azur Lane Kearsarge (Springtime Monitoring Ver.) 1/6 scale figure by Phat Company is a useful comparison point if you are choosing between pre-orders. It is slightly larger at 1/6 scale, stands about 275mm tall, and costs USD 151.84 against a catalog comparison price of USD 244.90. Its pre-order close date is September 30, 2026, with a manufacturer release in August 2027 and US arrival in December 2027.

Both are PVC and ABS official products. The practical difference is scale, price, and timing. Augusta is cheaper and arrives earlier in the US, while Kearsarge is a larger scale with a later US arrival. If you only want one scale figure this season, pick based on which character you will still want on display in late 2027, not which one is cheaper today.

Budgeting for the full cost, not just the figure

The USD 132.30 price covers the figure and the badge bonus. It does not cover display space, a case, or shipping. If this is your first scale figure, factor in a dust-free display option and enough clearance for a 285mm figure. If you already collect Wuthering Waves merch, check whether you have room next to existing pieces before adding another pre-order.

The catalog comparison price of USD 210.00 is a reference point, not a guarantee of future value. Treat the discount as a reason to decide now, not as an investment signal. Scale figures can rise or fall after release depending on demand and production run.

Smaller Wuthering Waves options if you are not ready for a scale figure

If the price or the wait is too much, the Tidal Letters Series Plush Phone Stand by FUN4YEAH is a lower-commitment way to add Wuthering Waves merch. It is USD 16.49 against a USD 24.99 comparison price, releases from the manufacturer in December 2026, and arrives in the US in April 2027. It includes Lynae, Mornye, Denia, and Luuk Herssen styles, so you can pick a character you already like.

This is not a substitute for a scale figure if you want a display centerpiece. It is a practical add-on for a desk, bag, or phone. If you want both, order the plush stand now and keep the Augusta pre-order only if the August 30 close date still fits your budget.

Decision rules for this pre-order

  • Rule 1: Check the close date first: The Augusta pre-order closes August 30, 2026. If you are still deciding after that date, you are no longer choosing a pre-order; you are hoping for a restock or aftermarket listing. Decide before August 30, 2026, or accept that the pre-order window has passed.
  • Rule 2: Match scale to your shelf, not your excitement: Augusta is 1/7 scale at about H285mm. Kearsarge is 1/6 scale at about H275mm. Measure your display space before ordering either. If you have limited height, confirm 285mm fits before paying.
  • Rule 3: Treat the comparison price as context, not a promise: The USD 132.30 price sits below a USD 210.00 catalog comparison price. That is a reason to consider the pre-order now, but it does not guarantee the figure will be worth more later. Buy because you want the figure, not because of the discount.
  • Rule 4: Pick the wait you can live with: Augusta arrives in the US around September 2027. Kearsarge arrives around December 2027. The plush phone stand arrives around April 2027. If you need something sooner, choose the plush stand or an in-stock item.
