Kotobukiya has officially announced a new robot doll based on its popular Frame Arms Girl model kit series. The "CutieroidDoll Gourai" is scheduled for release on August 30, 2027.
Developed by Japanese robotics startup HatsuMuv, the "CutieroidDoll" series brings anime, manga, and video game characters into the real world as 55cm interactive robot dolls. Along with a wide range of arm and body movements, each doll can respond with corresponding motions and sounds when activated through voice commands, touch controls, or its dedicated app. For the line’s debut release, HatsuMuv teamed up with Kotobukiya to recreate Gourai, the flagship character of the company’s popular Frame Arms Girl model kit series.
The "CutieroidDoll Gourai" closely follows the design of the original model kit, using detailed paintwork and printing to recreate the facial features illustrated by Humikane Shimada. Gourai’s base body and armor have been completely rebalanced for the 55cm format, giving her more natural doll-like proportions while preserving the armor’s intricate sculpting, shading, and gradient paint applications. The neck, limbs, and other joints retain the mechanical styling of the model kit, while five pairs of interchangeable hands help faithfully reproduce her original design.
The torso, legs, and wrists feature manually adjustable joints, while 11 miniature smart servo axes power the head, shoulders, upper arms, and elbows. Gourai can perform up to 47 different motions through voice commands, touch sensors in the head and chest, the dedicated app, and RFID-enabled included accessories. A 4W high-quality speaker is also housed inside the head, allowing her to play 200 newly recorded original voice lines by Narumi Kaho. When paired with the doll’s movements, these create 97 different performances.
The doll charges via USB Type-C and supports USB PD fast charging. Since most functions are designed to be used while the doll is connected to a power source, the internal battery is intended only for short sessions such as outdoor photography. The dedicated app supports both iOS and Android and connects to the doll through Bluetooth. Users can send pose commands, raise Gourai’s affection level to unlock additional voice lines, and install firmware updates. Paid downloadable content offering more features is also planned for the future. For experienced users, HatsuMuv will provide Motion Editor software that allows owners to program original movements and performances for Gourai.
