The animated film "My Neighbor Totoro," directed by Hayao Miyazaki and released in 1988 by Studio Ghibli and Tokuma Shoten, is set in rural Japan during the Showa era. The Kusakabe family moves into an old house next to a forest, where the children encounter the forest guardians—Totoro, Little Totoro (Chibi Totoro), Catbus, and other mysterious creatures. Its fantastical story, adorable characters, and beautiful depiction of nature have made it one of Master Hayao Miyazaki's most classic works.
The "Little Totoro in the Palm of Your Hand" mini-figures are inspired by the scene where the younger sister Mei first discovers the mysterious white creature, bringing to life the moment Little Totoro scurries past! Each figure measures approximately 10 cm tall and comes in three different poses and expressions. The agile movements and lively eyes, along with details like the tail and tiny skin-colored feet, make it feel as if there's a Little Totoro in your home! ♪ The secret edition is made from transparent material, and all figures come with a dedicated base.
