Figmas usually come with a couple of alternate faces. Cryska will have three - one of which is a rather out-of-character bashful moe face. She also comes with a pistol and a transparent, articulated Figma stand.
Worth noting is that this particular rendition of her is based specifically on the character design used in the animated series, by character designer Umiko Hara, which is also true of the Yui Takamura Figma which was announced a couple of months ago. It differs somewhat from the design seen in the original visual novel and printed materials as created by Total Eclipse's first character designer, Sou Miyata (which I prefer much more). Miyata's designs are being rendered in PVC by Kotobukiya.
Cryska will make the fouth Muv Luv character to be Figma'd. The first was Alternative's Meiya Mitsurugi back in 2009, followed by a limited-release xBox game pack-in Sumkia Kagami Figma. Yui is due out in April. No word yet on any other Muv Luv Figmas.
Words of advice: It is difficult to gauge the popularity and production numbers on Figmas. Sometimes they sell out quickly and jump dramatically on the secondary market. Other times they hang out for a while. If you want them, your best bet is preorder. Shipping is reasonably low on them. Look over in the "Supply Container" links for Hobby Search, CD Japan and HLJ as possible sources that I've always had good results with.
I wish the Figma Meiya came with a third face. Her oujo smirk look would have been cool...
