This Banpresto figurine depicts Hatsune, an original character created by the Japanese illustrator rurudo, as part of the ESPRESTO – Monster Motions collection. Standing approximately 16 cm tall, it emphasises the character’s silhouette and feline demeanour, with a particularly expressive kneeling pose.
Hatsune is depicted with her long pink hair, tied back in a high ponytail, and her blue eyes. Her hairstyle is complemented by large white cat ears edged with small ruffles. A cross-shaped plaster adorns her cheek, whilst a black collar featuring a golden bell encircles her neck – two distinctive elements of her design.
Her white outfit consists of a light ensemble adorned with ruffles and small bows, accompanied by matching cuffs. A white band also wraps around one of her thighs. The long cat-like tail visible behind her completes this look, whilst the position of her hands, raised like paws, reinforces the character’s animal theme. The sculpture also captures the movement of the hair and tail to lend greater dynamism to the composition.
