hololive IF -Relax time- Usada Pekora

Pekora fans have the biggest reveal of the week. Banpresto has shown the first painted prototype of Usada Pekora in its popular hololive IF -Relax time- line, which imagines the talents in relaxed, off-duty outfits. Banpresto says the outfit was designed with lots of input from Pekora herself, and the poster shows her in a soft pale-blue look with her trademark bunny ears and a cosy, oversized knit look. The figure is planned for Japanese crane games from April 2027, so there is a long wait, but Relax time figures are always popular with hololive fans, and earlier releases in the line have sold out quickly in Japan. It joins a growing set of Relax time figures that look great displayed together.

FuRyu Muchuto figure: Gash Bell

From the classic series Zatch Bell!, known in Japan as Konjiki no Gash!!, FuRyu has revealed a Muchuto figure of Gash Bell. The Muchuto range captures characters in energetic action poses, and this one shows Gash mid-attack with yellow lightning bursting around him and his blue cloak flying. It rolls out to amusement arcades in Japan from early November, so it is one of the soonest prizes in this round-up.

ESPRESTO: Nacchan and Micchan from Futsuu no JK

Banpresto's ESPRESTO line is adding Nacchan and Micchan from Futsuu no JK, drawn by the artist Ohisashiburi. The two girls wear matching maid-style outfits, one in pale blue and one in black, and make heart poses with their hands. Banpresto points out the clear material used for their hair and the flowing frills. They are planned for crane games around April 2027.

November goods prizes

Not every prize is a figure. From Thursday 5 November, Banpresto is bringing back its JoJo's Bizarre Adventure full-colour tumblers, metallic tumblers featuring the main characters from each part of the series. There is also a second To LOVE-ru Darkness mug using illustrations from the 15th anniversary art exhibition finale, complete with a lipstick-mark style design.
