Hey there everyone, this is Tominon.
Today I'll be introducing the
Hachikuji Mayoi figure from Kotobukiya!
This is the second
Bakemonogatari figure from them, following
Senjyogahara Hitagi Kotobukiya Ver.!
Mayoi, the lost "snail" who couldn't find her home.
Mayoi's my favorite
Bakemonogatari character, so I'm really happy they made her into such a cute figure.
Smiles keep creeping across my face as I write this.
Mayoi is just too adorable!
Great snapshot of her running around!
The way they did her skirt is just amazing!
Her old fashioned skirt, skinny legs, the band-aid on her knee - everything that gives Mayoi her youthful charm is here on this figure.
From the side.
The cherry embroidery on her skirt isn't just a paint job, but actually sculpted!
From behind.
You can just see the spring in her step!
I just noticed the soles of her shoes have snails! I never would have noticed watching the anime!
Mayoi's trademark, the giant backpack!
This is a perfect reproduction of its unique birdy design.
The animals on the sides and the bear hand (?) sticking out are sculpted really well too.
She has all her precious things and memories of her mom in here... So much that it's about to burst...
Her story... Well I guess I shouldn't spoil it.
Her long, flowing twintails add to the dynamics of this figure!
And her soft baby cheeks! Makes you want to poke them!
The sharpness within her young, innocent expression is really characteristic of her.
This figure's sculpted down to every detail, from her snail-like hairband to her star badge, making this figure really fun to look at.
I love the way she's holding her backpack straps!
This snail shadow is included too!
Add it and it becomes a subtle hint to her identity. Mysterious!
It can be displayed with or without it, however you like.
So...
Hachikuji Mayoi is out now!
Kanbaru Suruga is coming in December as well!
Well then, see you next time!
