VTuber idol Houshou Marine from Hololive's third generation has officially opened pre-orders for her 1/7 scale figure and perfume today. In an exciting collaboration with the Yokohama Marine Tower, a life-sized statue of the captain has been unveiled, making her the fourth member to receive such a statue, following the likes of Comet Hoshigane, Pekora Usada, and Gawr Gura.

Event Details and Exhibition

The "Houshou Marine × Yokohama Marine Tower Collaboration" event will run from December 2, 2024, to December 29, 2024, located on the 30th floor of the Yokohama Marine Tower. Tickets are required for entry. This event comes alongside Marine's first solo concert, "Ahoy!! All of You Pirates," set to take place on December 7 and 8 at the Yokohama K-Arena.

Special Features of the Statue

The life-sized statue showcases Houshou Marine sitting on a treasure chest, bringing her adventurous spirit to life. The statue is designed by the renowned Japanese model company Design COCO, with assistance from COVER Corporation for the 3D modeling data. Popular illustrator Akasa Ai has lent her artistic touch to the design, capturing Marine's playful pose and charming expression beautifully.

Stunning Details of the 1/7 Scale Model

The 1/7 scale figure of Houshou Marine is incredibly detailed, featuring intricate fabric cuts, lace, and leather textures. The transparent gem on her chest and the embroidered patterns on her thigh-high stockings are meticulously recreated, showcasing the craftsmanship involved. The pirate hat's decorations can be removed, allowing fans to enjoy two different styles of the captain. Standing at approximately 20.1 cm (including the base), the model's base is crafted to resemble a traditional wooden treasure chest, complete with a weathered look and overflowing with gold coins, enhancing the overall grandeur.
