Re:Zero's Rem Gets Lovely Life-Size Kimono Figure
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Kadokawa opened a store page for a new life-size figure of Re:Zero's Rem. Rem has been the subject of previous 1/1-scale busts and figures before. This new version shows Rem in a beautiful kimono and holding a real parasol by Kyoto craftsmen at the historical Hiyoshiya company.
The figure is 62.5 inches tall and costs 3,520,000 yen (US$32,350) before shipping. Shipping fees are an additional US$2,300-4,600 depending on the buyer's location. Pre-order requests will be accepted until August 30. Orders are expected to ship in March 2020.
The same figure was previously released at a more economical 1/8 scale.
The 25-episode Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- anime adaptation premiered in April 2016. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan. Funimation released the television anime on home video with an English dub last June.
The first OVA episode in the franchise, Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Memory Snow, opened in Japanese theaters last October at #8. The episode featured a returning cast and staff. A second OVA Re:Zero Hyōketsu no Kizuna (Frozen Bonds) will screen in theaters in Japan starting on November 8.
The television anime is getting a second season.
