BANDAI SPIRITS Company's HOBBY Division in Japan, which offers the '30 MINUTES LABEL' model kit series designed to allow modelers to easily and quickly complete their works, today officially unveiled detailed information for its fourth sub-series, '30 MINUTES PREFERENCE'. It was also announced that the first product will feature the protagonist of the popular manga "Bocchi the Rock!", "Hitori Gotoh", scheduled for release in March 2025.
Unlike 30 MINUTES MISSIONS, 30 MINUTES SISTERS, and 30 MINUTES FANTASY, which primarily feature original characters, the new series '30 MINUTES PREFERENCE' will leverage the diverse experience and technology cultivated within the 30 MINUTES LABEL. It aims to acquire various external IPs and work licenses, releasing model kit products of numerous popular characters, allowing players to create their beloved figures.
The first product will feature the protagonist of the highly popular manga "Bocchi the Rock!", "Hitori Gotoh", recreating her appearance in the Kessoku Band uniform and wristband as a model kit. Bocchi's main body features a highly articulated design with flexible joints. By replacing the front hair and skirt parts, she can recreate dynamic poses during intense performances. The kit includes two pre-printed face parts and one waterslide decal face part for customization. Her lower body can also be swapped with pink gym shorts and black socks to recreate different outfits from the STARRY and Cultural Festival performances.
Accessories will include Bocchi's beloved first electric guitar, the "Gibson CustomShop 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue", as well as effect pedals, and a glass slide for slide guitar techniques. The electric guitar strap is made from a flexible material, allowing it to change shape to match Bocchi's poses, recreating the cool performance scenes from the series!
In addition to Bocchi, 30 MINUTES PREFERENCE has also confirmed that the other three Kessoku Band members – Nijika Ijichi, Ryo Yamada, and Ikuyo Kita – will also be released as model kits. Fans of "Bocchi the Rock!" can look forward to them!
