Kidou Senkan Nadesico - Hoshino Ruri - Maneki Neko Version (King Records)Hoshino Ruri · King Records

King Records presents Hoshino Ruri from Martian Successor Nadesico in a special Maneki Neko (beckoning cat) version. This figure reimagines the character in the style of the traditional Japanese lucky cat figure, blending the anime character's design with the cultural symbol of good fortune. Martian Successor Nadesico is a science fiction mecha anime series that follows the crew of the spaceship Nadesico as they battle against the Jovian invaders. Hoshino Ruri is the ship's child prodigy science officer and operator, known for her deadpan personality, sharp wit, and her memorable catchphrase "baka baka" (idiots). Despite her young age, she is responsible for operating the ship's computer systems and is one of the most intelligent members of the crew. Her popularity among fans made her one of the most iconic characters of the series. The figure is produced by King Records, the media company that handled the series' soundtrack releases through their Star Child label. The Maneki Neko version offers a unique thematic crossover, presenting Ruri in a format traditionally associated with welcoming prosperity and good luck.
