The "Sousai Shojo Teien" series, an everyday-life bishojo plastic model kit line launched by Japanese model manufacturer Kotobukiya in collaboration with illustrator Morikura En, recently unveiled the prototype assembly of the product currently under development, "Seira Ichijo [Reiho High School - Summer Uniform]". The release date is yet to be determined.
The new character, "Seira Ichijo," attends Reiho High School. She's a cheerleader who wants to cheer on anyone she sees working hard, a "mom-type" gal who loves taking care of her friends like Emma and Rui. She has a bold and sunny personality, with a strong sense of justice. While she doesn't usually get angry, she can become quite formidable when protecting her important friends and family. Seira, who is skilled at cooking, currently works part-time at a set meal restaurant. Her goal is to become a stylist who makes protagonists shine even brighter, much like the Fairy Godmother in "Cinderella."
Currently, the metal molds for "Seira Ichijo [Reiho High School - Summer Uniform]" are still in the modification phase, and the facial expression parts for the prototype assembly are borrowed from other characters. It can be seen that the kit utilizes precise sculpting to recreate her intricate side ponytail hairstyle, and uses multi-colored molded parts to produce her highlighted bangs and various clothing colors.
Recently, during "Shizuoka Hobby Show 2024," Kotobukiya also unveiled the product prototype and the various facial expression parts and accessories expected to be included, including four types of facial expressions: a mischievous smile, a cackling laugh, a gentle smile, and an enraged face, as well as a large backpack for club activities, dedicated lower body parts for sitting poses, and more.
Furthermore, Kotobukiya also plans to release a "Dreamy Color Scheme" version with blue hair and brown skin, and an AFTER SCHOOL accessory set for Seira. This accessory set includes items such as a handmade bento, cooking utensils, a delivery box, roller skates, donuts, and more, allowing for the recreation of scenes like Seira delivering food for her part-time job or making bento for Emma.
