BANDAI HOBBY, the plastic model brand from Japan’s BANDAI SPIRITS, has revealed the fifth entry in its 30 MINUTES PREFERENCE (30MP) character model kit lineup based on the hit anime "Bocchi the Rock!": the 30MP Kikuri Hiroi. Priced at 5,940 yen including tax, the kit is scheduled for release in March 2027.
Kikuri Hiroi is the bassist and vocalist of SICK HACK, a psychedelic rock band with a solid reputation in the underground scene. Her beloved bass is named Super Ultra Shuten-doji EX. A hopeless boozehound, Kikuri drinks to escape her anxieties about the future and dissatisfaction with the present, justifying the cycle with what she calls her “happiness spiral.” Her drinking keeps her perpetually broke, and she regularly loses her belongings or wakes up stranded at an unfamiliar train station with no way home. Despite being a walking disaster offstage, Kikuri is an exceptional musician. She is also the first person in the series to recognize Bocchi’s talent and help her overcome her fear of performing in front of an audience.
30MP Kikuri Hiroi is the fifth "Bocchi the Rock!" release in the line, following the four members of Kessoku Band: Hitori Gotoh, Ikuyo Kita, Ryo Yamada, and Nijika Ijichi. The kit recreates Kikuri’s signature outfit, pairing a lightweight dress with a track jacket and geta sandals. Swapping out the arm parts lets collectors display her without the jacket, while the 30MP line’s highly articulated construction supports a wide range of poses from the series. An alternate skirt part is included for seated poses, allowing Kikuri to casually perform while sitting on the ground. Accessories include seven pairs of interchangeable hands, bare feet, two pre-painted face parts, a blank face part with matching waterslide decals, her Super Ultra Shuten-doji EX bass, and a pick. Two shoulder straps of different lengths are also included, along with an instrument cable and three versions of Kikuri’s iconic Onikoro sake containers.
