Today we’re taking a closer look at the latest entry in the MegaHouse GALS Series: Orihime Inoue in her Thousand-Year Blood War appearance from BLEACH. Here’s a breakdown of the sculpt, paintwork, and overall feel of this new PVC release.
Name: GALS Series BLEACH Orihime Inoue – Thousand-Year Blood War Ver.

The official product photos offer a clear look at the figure’s design and details.
Now, let’s dive into the in-hand review and see how it holds up in person.
Packaging & Assembly
The figure comes in a windowed box, giving a full preview of the figure inside. Orihime and the effect parts are separated, with the base featuring a few accent pieces to enhance the display.
360° View
The pose and proportions are well-balanced, offering a dynamic snapshot of Orihime mid-skill activation. The hairpins on her head are carefully sculpted to reflect the moment of action, showing attention to detail in movement and expression.
Head Sculpt
The face sculpt looks even better in hand than in the official images, with facial dynamics that closely resemble her anime counterpart. Expression-wise, it’s highly accurate and emotive.
Paintwork
The paint job meets MegaHouse’s consistent quality. Notably, there’s a slight “skin-through” highlight effect on her thighs, which adds realism. Shadowing on the outfit and skin is also handled nicely, with subtle gradients and tone depth.
Display Comparison
We posed her next to the Hueco Mundo version of Orihime, and honestly, this new release takes the lead. The face sculpt is superior, hair color is accurate, and the Thousand-Year Blood War costume offers a more modern, striking aesthetic. Hueco Mundo might be the more iconic version, but this one feels fresher and more polished overall.
This GALS Series Orihime was released pretty quietly, but it definitely deserves more attention. The overall impression is solid—dynamic posing, great facial likeness, and a beautifully executed costume that truly brings out Orihime’s unique charm. The new outfit from the Blood War arc definitely adds to her visual appeal.
If you’re an Orihime fan or a BLEACH collector, this figure brings just the right mix of grace, presence, and updated design. With sharp sculpting and subtle paintwork, the Thousand-Year Blood War version might just become your new favorite display piece.
