INFORMATION
The "Soukai Shoujo Garden" series, a collaboration between Japanese model manufacturer Kotobukiya and illustrator En Morikura, has announced the release of its latest product , "Saotome Rui [Momozakura High School - Gym Uniform]," a slice-of -life anime girl model kit , scheduled for June 2026.
The new character , "Saotome Rui," is a prince-like girl with a gorgeous appearance and graceful demeanor, attracting both men and women. She is straightforward, honest, and observant, possessing excellent athletic ability, but dislikes reading and kissing scenes in movies. Rui appears tomboyish, but also loves collecting all sorts of small and cute things. After meeting the petite and adorable Emma Ishikawa, Rui is captivated by her pursuit of dreams and often goes to visit Emma with her childhood friend, Ichijo Seira, with whom she has a complicated past.
"Saotome Rui [Momosakura High School - Sports Uniform]" uses newly designed parts to completely reproduce the design by Morikura Madoka. The kit is made up of up to 13 molding colors, and the sports jacket is pre-painted with the blue of the pockets, the silver of the zipper, and other parts, so that it can be assembled with a very high degree of completion.
The assembled Rui action figure stands approximately 16 cm tall and features her characteristic slightly curly short hair, seven pairs of PVC hands, and four pre-painted facial expressions for easy replacement: a smiling face, a fan service face, an angry face, and a shy face.
The body boasts both graceful posture and flexible articulation, and comes with three skirt parts for different thigh bending positions, an upper body part for a forward-leaning pose, and a lower body part for a sitting pose. It can be paired with accessories such as backpacks and phones to create various everyday poses and more intense action sequences. Of course, the neck joint remains a standard feature across the entire series, allowing for easy interchangeability with other characters' bodies and different outfits.
In addition, the product also includes a fully articulated lower body part with protective pants for Rui, and a helmet head part that can be replaced with the corresponding facial expression parts, so that she can be played with in a cool riding pose when paired with the separately sold motorcycle model.
