To celebrate the 20th anniversary of "Spirited Away," Japan's official Studio Ghibli specialty store, Donguri Republic, has launched a series of commemorative merchandise. Following the first wave, which included the "More! Gluttonous No-Face Piggy Bank," "Witch's Contract Seal," and "Candlestick Streetlight," a second wave of products is set to open for pre-orders on August 7th! Among these, the highly anticipated "Boh (Mouse Form) & Crow" pre-painted figure charmingly recreates their in-film appearance.
Studio Ghibli's highest-grossing film, "Spirited Away" (千と千尋の神隠し), directed and written by Hayao Miyazaki, premiered in Japan in 2001 and won an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2003. The story follows ten-year-old Chihiro Ogino and her parents as they get lost and stumble into the spirit world, embarking on a fantastical journey through the "Bathhouse" filled with spirits. Beyond its stunning visuals and moving soundtrack, the film's rich character designs, including Haku, No-Face, and Yubaba, along with its underlying metaphors, remain popular topics among fans.
This impressive figure recreates the memorable scene where Boh (mouse form) (坊ネズミ), transformed into a mouse, and the Crow (蒼蠅), transformed from Yubaba's attendant, journey with Chihiro to Zenibaba's home. It captures the moment Boh, unwilling to rely on Chihiro, finally walks on his own tiny feet! The chubby physique of the giant baby-turned-mouse, coupled with a slightly proud and wary expression, is incredibly adorable. The Crow, with its sparkling, relieved eyes, rests on Boh's back, making for an endearing sight from every angle. The overall dimensions are approximately 70 mm high and 100 mm wide, with a base that faithfully replicates the muddy ground, perfectly capturing their in-film appearance. Pre-orders will open starting August 7, 2021, at Japan's Donguri Republic online store, donguri-sora.
