Kikoru Shinomiya Noodle Stopper Figure Review
Hello everyone! Arashi Bori here! I’m so glad you found my blog! I love to talk about upcoming anime figures and merchandise and share photos of my own collection. Nendoroids are my favorite, but I cover a wide variety of anime related subjects. Plus, I have a YouTube channel too, so feel free to check it out sometime! And thank you so much for tuning in; have fun reading!
With Kaiju No. 8’s anime being just around the corner, it’s only natural that we’d be getting more figures featuring characters from the series. And, FURYU and Good Smile company has decided transform a couple of Kaiju No. 8’s main characters into noodle stopper figures. The noodle stopper figures are a partner product between the two companies, and they feature popular anime characters sitting down. The figures are often designed being rather relaxed; and they go great on shelves! In this post, I’ll be reviewing Kikoru Shinomiya’s noodle stopper figure.
Kaiju No. 8 is a manga series written and illustrated by Naoya Matsumoto. It is serialized in Shonen Jump+, and is available to read on the Shonen Jump app. Despite being a fairly new story, it has become immensely popular. Kaiju No. 8 is set to get an anime in spring 2024. The story follows a man named Kafka Hibino who works for the defense force, an organization that protects Japan from monstrous beings called Kaiju. However, instead of being on the front lines, Kafka works as part of the crew that deals with the aftermath of Kaiju attacks. One day, Kafka accidentally ate a strange parasite that transforms him into “Kaiju No. 8”. Will this give him the power to fulfill his promise to his childhood friend?
Kikoru Shinomiya is one of the main characters in Kaiju No. 8. She has a strong drive as a member of the Defense Force. Kikoru can be quite confident and even somewhat cocky. Kafka saved her and so she’s grateful to him. She’s become quite the popular character.
Kikoru looks pretty cool as a noodle stopper figure, doesn’t she? I love the impudent vibes; they really suit her.
I think they did a great job with all the details on her uniform.
The way she’s posed is so realistic; noodle stopper figures are extremely accurate in capturing the character’s most natural sitting postures.
I love the scenery in the background. The rubble piles and falling buildings seem real.
It would be cool to display Kikoru on a shelf or display case.
Kikoru Shinomiya’s Noodle Stopper Figure will rerelease in the first quarter of 2025. She is currently up for preorders. You can purchase her from the Good Smile Online shop, or the Good Smile US store.
Thank you so much for reading this post! Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
