Meet 2B, the iconic android from NieR:Automata, with this fully painted Deluxe figurine measuring approximately 28 cm. This re-release is based on the sculpture created by Mitsumasa Yoshizawa of REFLECT and offers a particularly detailed depiction of YoRHa No. 2 Type B, complete with her distinctive black combat outfit, headband and Virtuous Contract sword.
The figurine faithfully reproduces the various elements of 2B’s outfit, from the patterns on her black dress to the textures of her boots, sleeves and heat-dissipating skirt. Her white hair, black headband and facial details are faithful to her in-game appearance. The sculpture of 2B was created by Mitsumasa Yoshizawa, whilst the ‘Virtuous Contract’ weapon was sculpted by Takayuki Higashi.
This Deluxe Edition features several interchangeable parts, allowing for different display options. In addition to the classic configuration with headband and heat-dissipating skirt, it includes a face without the headband as well as an alternative torso without the lower part of the skirt. These parts allow 2B to be displayed in several configurations directly inspired by NieR:Automata.
The set also includes the Pod 042 support unit, the ‘Virtuous Contract’ sword, and dedicated display stands for 2B and the Pod. The Pod stands approximately 34 cm tall when mounted on its stand, whilst 2B measures approximately 28 cm.

Character background and lore
2B, whose full name is YoRHa No. 2 Type B, is one of the main protagonists of NieR:Automata. She is a versatile combat android belonging to the YoRHa forces and sent to the Earth’s surface to fight mechanical lifeforms. The official website describes her as a Type B unit specialising in close-quarters combat.
The YoRHa units’ mission is to combat the machines occupying Earth, whilst humanity is believed to have taken refuge on the Moon. 2B is trained to strictly follow her organisation’s rules, one of the most important of which is to suppress her emotions. As a result, she generally appears calm, disciplined and reserved, even when faced with events that gradually cast doubt on the certainties imposed by YoRHa.
2B fights primarily with bladed weapons and can also rely on Pod 042, a support unit capable of carrying out ranged attacks and providing various support functions. ‘Virtuous Contract’, included with this Deluxe figurine, is one of the swords most closely associated with her iconic appearance in NieR:Automata.
Her story is closely linked to 9S, a Scanner unit specialising in reconnaissance and hacking. Their relationship gradually becomes one of the game’s main narrative threads, whilst their missions lead them to uncover truths about machines, humanity and the true purpose of the YoRHa project. Behind her cool and professional demeanour, 2B thus becomes one of the central characters in a story centred on identity, memory, emotions and the boundary between humans and androids.
