Last month Organic Hobby announced that it will be releasing the resin model of Elizabeth from the series “Strike Witches” in the US Market. This will be in conjunction with the company Beagle.
If you’re looking for information on her, you might have to dig a little deeper than usual. Although her character design is based on the OVA, no seiyuu has been casted as her voice; she has yet to appear in the TV series playing on Crunchy Roll as well. After doing a little research, the closest I could find was one Elizabeth F Beurlung from the original Light Novel. Her appearance is a bit different, but here’s a fun fact, according to a relationship cart used for the novel, she is somehow associated with Lynette Bishop (yes that Lynette). We’ll see how it all turns out in the future.
Getting back to the model, Elizabeth stands at 6 ½” tall; she comes fully painted and packaged in a window box. She comes with several removable parts including her hat plus goggles, glasses, tail and her striker unit. The character designs are directly inspired by Fumikane Shimada’s Mecha Musume’s illustrations. Mr. Shimada has played a major role in creating the girls of Strike Witches, and you can find him credited in the light novels and both mangas.
With an SRP of $75.00, Elizabeth will be hitting the streets this October.
Onto the pics! Sound the feasting horn!

About that relationship chart located in the novel…it just explains how the witches are connected with each other by rank, squadron and family.
Elizabeth’s connection to Lynette is ???? which translates to “Colleague’s younger sister”. Elizabeth also has a line connecting to Tomoko Anabuki because they were both recruited to the same Volunteer squadron in Suomus. Also Elizabeth from the novel is is 18 in the year 1939 while Lynette is 15 in the year 1944 (anime).
