BANPRESTO, the prize figure brand under Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS company, recently announced several new products slated for September 2022 release on its official Facebook page. This article focuses on the "Suika" prize figure from "Dr. STONE"!
Suika is a young girl from Ishigami Village, nicknamed "Suika" (watermelon) because she always wears a watermelon rind on her head. While her face is actually quite adorable, she suffers from "blurred vision" (myopia), causing her to squint and scrunch up her face whenever she removes her rind to see clearly. Thanks to Senku's help, she eventually received glass lenses, finally allowing her to clearly see the beauty of sunflowers, everyone's faces, and the vibrant colors of the world! Despite her young age, Suika has repeatedly aided the Kingdom of Science with her extensive experience playing in the wild and is adept at gathering information through disguise.
This new Suika prize figure from BANPRESTO perfectly recreates her anime appearance, featuring her blue top and dark green shorts. Details like the textured rope around her neck, the wrinkles in her shirt, and the small bow tie on her chest are all faithfully reproduced. Her dynamic pose, standing on one leg with both hands waving, combined with her absolutely adorable, beaming smile, leaves no reason not to add her to your collection! The figure also includes interchangeable parts to display her wearing her signature watermelon rind hat. Even better, this release comes with a hilarious alternate face part depicting Suika squinting intensely, with all her facial features scrunched up as she tries to see! It's fantastic!
