Mirai Akari Project - Mirai Akari - Noodle Stopper Figure (FuRyu)Mirai Akari · FuRyu

FuRyu's Noodle Stopper Figure line features Mirai Akari from the Mirai Akari Project, standing approximately 100mm tall. Released in June 2019, the figure is classified as a prize figure type distributed through FuRyu's lottery and crane game channels. Mirai Akari was one of the pioneering virtual YouTubers who emerged in the early days of the VTuber phenomenon, recognized as one of the former Four Heavenly Kings of the medium. Before the current VTuber boom, Mirai Akari helped establish the format of virtual personalities interacting with audiences online, paving the way for the diverse VTuber landscape that followed. The Noodle Stopper format features figures designed with a specific functional purpose: their hands or accessories are positioned to hold down cup noodle lids while the contents cook. This practical yet charming concept has made the line popular among collectors who appreciate the dual functionality. Mirai Akari has also received other figure treatments, including a Race Queen version at 1/6 scale.
