Oshi No Ko’s Ruby Hoshino Gets a School Uniform Version for SmileFest 2024!
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!
Although many of us aren’t able to go to SmileFest 2024 ourselves, that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy all the amazing news it brings. The Good Smile company has announced so many sensational figures these past few days; and I just had to write about them!
I actually predicted that Ruby would receive a School Uniform Version, because her original nendoroid featured her B Komachi appearance. I’m excited to see her at school with Aqua and Kana in nendoroid form! I hope that the Good Smile company releases a B Komachi version for Memcho and Kana someday as well. I should mention that Ruby’s School Uniform Version is not up for preorder yet, but I believe she will be soon.
Oshi No Ko is a manga written by Aka Akasaka and illustrated by Mengo Yokoyari. It’s been airing as a TV anime series since spring 2023. The anime can only be watched on HIDIVE however. The story starts with a doctor and his patient who are reincarnated as an idol’s twins. Their mother Ai, hides the fact that she has kids as she continues her work as a star. But in an unexpected series of events, she ends up being murdered. Desperate to live up to their mother’s dreams, Aqua and Ruby take on the industry and attempt avenge their mother. Oshi No Ko seems cute at first, but it focuses on the corruption of the popular industry and expresses rather dark themes.
Ruby is the female protagonist and Aqua‘s sister. She strives to bring back the B Komachi idol group.
Ruby’s new nendoroid looks quite cute! You may notice that while her hair is similar to her previous nendoroid figure, except she doesn’t have her black hair ribbon. Plus, she comes with an all-new smiling with her mouth closed faceplate. Her uniform is identical to the one that Kana wears. The paint job on this figure looks amazing! I must say, I always love her eyes.
What other faceplates do you think Ruby Hoshino will come with? I bet she’ll include her blushing face, and maybe a slight frowning face. I hope they give her some unique expressions. Let me know which faces you think she’ll come with in the comments section!
So far, no more information about this figure is available, but as soon as she goes up for preorder, I’ll give her a proper review.
