Kotobukiya Adds Original Character to Cu-Poche Figure Line

Japanese toy manufacturer, Kotobukiya, listed another figure, Anne, in their Cu-Poche line for pre-order. For those unfamiliar with Cu-Poche, they are four and a half inch articulated figures with magnets in their feet, enabling the, to stand on their metallic bases. They come with a variety of accessories, depending on what character the figure is based on.

What sets this particular toy apart from those that came before is its source material. Cup-Poche tend to be based on anime such as Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Idol M@ster. Anne, however, was created by Kotobukiya specifically for this line. She is also the first Cu-Poche to come wearing fabric clothing (which can be worn by any other Cu-Poche you own as well). If Kotobukiya Japan’s official Cu-Poche twitter is any indication, more fabric outfits should be on the way.

Kotobukiya has also listed a special accessory set containing additional items for Anne: three facial expressions (dubbed “sparkling eyes,” “unhappy face,” and “excited”), a ponytail hair style, and items to decorate the ponytail (a bow and a scrunchie-like hair tie).

You can pre-order Cu-Poche: Friends Anne from the official Kotobukiya online store [link]. She will cost $34.99 and is scheduled to ship January 2016. Her accessory set containing the three extra expressions and hair pieces is exclusively available to pre-order at the official Kotobukiya online store [link] for $19.99 with an estimated ship date of February 2016.
