The Japanese drama "Mass-Produced Riko," starring Yuuki Yoda from idol group Nogizaka46, has announced its second season premiere. To commemorate this broadcast, BANDAI SPIRITS Company's HOBBY Division in Japan will release the 'HG 1/144 Mass-Produced Riko's Custom Zaku' from its 1/144 scale Gunpla 'HG (High Grade)' series! The suggested retail price is 2,530 JPY, with an anticipated release in December 2023.
Season 2, titled 'Mass-Produced Riko: Another Plastic Model Girl's Life Assembly Story' (tentative translation, 量産型リコ －もう1人のプラモ女子の人生組み立て記－), is set to air on June 29, 2023. This story is a parallel universe narrative to the first season, where the titular Riko Komukai is a company president who started her business during her university days. After being called a 'mass-produced' girl easily eliminated by her peers, she embarks on a journey to find her life's path through assembling plastic models!
The 'HG 1/144 Mass-Produced Riko's Custom Zaku' model kit features the Zaku model that Riko chose for her very first plastic model assembly in the drama. It is painted with the colors Riko creatively applied during her first painting experience, including a striking pink right shoulder! Additionally, it includes stickers such as 'Mass-Produced Riko' and 'Yajima Model Shop.' The box art utilizes the main visual from the second season, 'Mass-Produced Riko: Another Plastic Model Girl's Life Assembly Story,' further enhancing its commemorative value!
