Dagashi Kashi - Shidare Hotaru - 1/8 (Max Factory)Shidare Hotaru · 1/8 · Max Factory

Max Factory produced this 1/8 scale figure of Shidare Hotaru from the comedy series Dagashi Kashi. The figure stands approximately 215mm tall and is made from ABS and PVC, sculpted by Akimoto Hajime and Kouzuki. Dagashi Kashi is a comedy series centered around Japanese dagashi, inexpensive traditional sweets and snacks. Shidare Hotaru is the daughter of a candy company president who visits a rural dagashi shop to recruit its owner. She is passionate about dagashi to the point of obsession, often delivering elaborate and dramatic explanations about various cheap sweets. Despite her striking appearance and intelligence, she has what could be described as an unfortunate personality—socially awkward and intensely single-minded about candy. The figure captures her holding several Umaibo, known as the King of Cheap Sweets, with a large smile on her face. The figure depicts Hotaru in her standard outfit of a white blouse and black high-waist skirt. Her distinctive purple hair features translucent ends that faithfully reproduce the vivid, almost see-through texture seen in the series.
