Concept

This is your chance to get an original scale figure based on the drawings of popular artists.

Story

Greetings. My name is Shiragi, here to represent the “Haguruma Dohri no Sakuranamiki”.

Our group has been producing and distributing “kemono” themed art books and goods to fans of the community.

We are looking to step further and are currently preparing to kick start a company that manufactures and sells licensed goods.

As for our first project, we have launched this crowdfund to develop the:  “Kemono Character Figurine Project“. With this project we plan to create figures based on illustrations drawn by popular illustrators.

As for this run, we will be recreating the artwork of the popular artist Kishibe.


Kishibe

Kishibe is a designer and freelance illustrator,
his well-known works include “Mr. Darwin, the Kemono Girls are Waiting for You at School! (illustration) and “Full Bokko Heroes” (illustration), etc.

If this project is successful, we would like to make this Kemono Character Figurine Project into a series. We have mixed “Kemono” with the theme “Bunny Girl” this time round; however, costs for planning, designing, and producing original figures are high and we are short on funds.

With your support, we will be able to make this series of figures a reality.

And we hope to produce many more figures of Kemono characters in the future, mixing them with many other themes.

The final product of this project is still in its planning stage; therefore we do not have images of the final product. 

Mr. Ryou-ichi provided photos of his previous garage kits of kemono characters to give supporters an idea of what the final product may look like.

Finished figurine  (Limited edition) – for Patron, Manager tiers

Since this is our first time creating figures, we are still contemplating on what we can do within our budget.

・Different color version (another color, pearl paint on the costume, etc.)
・Addition of exchangeable parts for expressions and costumes.
・Diorama pedestal, and additional accessories
・Serial number engraving on pedestal
・Use of actual cloth for the net tights

These are some of the ideas that have we have come up with!

Comment from Kishibe, the illustrator


I really wanted to see a three-dimensional figure of the Female kemono Bunny Girl, so I’m very happy to cooperate with you on this project!
I’ll do my best to make the illustration as cute as possible!

Being able to create a commercial prototype of a kemono character,
It’s a really great age we live in! I’ll do my best !
