Kotobukiya's entrance into the articulated figure scene?
Hoi Hoi San is a partialy painted kit that can be easily put together. Retail price is 3,150 yen and will be out this September.

Know nothing about the series apart from what I just read at ANN.

Plot Summary: The time is the near future. Cockroaches and other household pests have become immune to all forms of insecticides. In response to this crisis, a Japanese company has created small, doll-like insect exterminating robots called Hoi Hoi-san.

A competing company has also released their own version, Combat-san. Because of their adorable appearance, these little robots have become somewhat of a phenomenon and have gained many fans. Late at night, in the home of one such fan, Hoi Hoi-san and Combat-san search for insects to exterminate... but Combat-san is not above trying to exterminate Hoi Hoi-san while she's at it.

If you have not seen it and watch the video below then I think you will end up wanting one like me ^^;

More pics of the Kotobukiya figure kit at Hobby Stock.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Oh my, she looks so cute. But her joints dont really appeal to me. I find something disturbing about them.

The hairbow/bunny ear hair thingy connector piece looks like a 3.5mm headphone jack. Any chance this figure can also function as a mp3 player, cause that would be beyond amazing.

DO MOTHERF*****G WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw this in Hobby japan as a prototype a couple of months ago and have been waiting for more info since!!

The OVA is quite funny and worth a watch. It's only 10 minutes long. Manga is licensed and available and there was also a PS2 game where you controlled a customisable HoiHoi-san!!!

I wonder if they will release a combat-san or pest-X san (and their respective add-ons)

Oh man those are so cute. I like the little squeaky sounds it makes when walking. It reminds me of an episode of Slayers where some people made a giant robot of Lina and the big breasted girl. One had breast physics and the other had a squeaky noise when walking.

Actually in the book Hoi Hoi san is as customizable as a Dollfie... except this doll kills roaches :P

The manga by Kunihiko Tanaka (a brilliant artist, you should check his work out) was a satire on the whole moe/merchandise thing... translated by Infinity Studios, it may still be available online. The short anime was packaged with the Playstation game and was based on part of the manga. This was about five years ago I think.

Now THAT is adorable! Price is a little high I think but it's certainly appealing. Nice to see Koto doing some interesting items like this.

I remember seeing hoihoi-san when it first came out, and was always surprised they didn't turn it into a series where the acquires a personality or something.

Though I have to wonder how anyone would be able to sleep through that. I get woken up by a bee flying around in my room, never mind the use of (admitadly tiny) firearms.
