Japanese model kit maker Kotobukiya, in collaboration with illustrator En Morikura, has announced the latest release in its everyday schoolgirl model kit series, "Sousai Shojo Teien." The new Kuon Yakushiji [QIPAO COSTUME] Bai Tao Niang is scheduled for release in May 2027. This exclusive color variant will only be available through KOTOBUKIYA SHOP and other designated official retailers.
Kuon Yakushiji is a third-year student at Touou High School. While she may be a slightly scatterbrained young lady in everyday life, she transforms into a brilliant actress capable of delivering masterful performances whenever the cameras start rolling. Unfortunately, her constant focus on acting, extremely independent personality, and poor communication skills often cost her roles at auditions. After entering the entertainment industry through an extracurricular program, the once-sheltered daughter of a prestigious family gained the opportunity to portray a wide variety of characters. Her signature role is Maria Kagaribi, the heroine of the hit superhero show "Megalomaria Unlimited Universe."
Kuon Yakushiji [QIPAO COSTUME] Bai Tao Niang is a new color variant of the previously announced standard edition. Inspired by the popular Megalomaria Unlimited Universe character Emulator, the full-length qipao and over-the-knee stockings have been recast in a translucent pearl white. Kuon’s hair now comes in the same pale milk-tea beige used for Emulator, while the included decals recreate the qipao’s silver floral patterns.
The outfit parts capture the look of lightweight fabric clinging tightly to the skin, fully showcasing Kuon’s shapely figure. Her distinctive braided-buns hairstyle is also newly sculpted, with finely detailed strands that give the hair plenty of dimension. Each braid is articulated at the base to prevent it from interfering with poses. Three interchangeable pre-painted faces are included: teasing, smiling, and blushing. The kit also comes with three unpainted face parts and a water-slide decal sheet featuring multiple expressions and eye directions, allowing builders to create their own custom looks.
The body retains the wide range of articulation associated with the "Sousai Shojo Teien" line. Joints running from the chest to the waist allow for deep forward bends and back arches, while an articulated neck base and double-jointed elbows make it possible to create everything from kicks and jumps to cute and sexy prone poses. Three interchangeable waist parts depict a naturally draped skirt, a lightly fluttering action pose, and a crossed-leg seated pose that shows off her legs. Accessories include a handheld bamboo steamer and three meat buns, perfect for recreating Kuon’s adorably awkward performance as an inexperienced restaurant server.
