Good Smile has announced its latest collaboration with Hololive, opening pre-orders for a stunning Takanashi Kiara POP UP PARADE figurine that offers great value.
Vtubers lend themselves well to merchandise thanks to their stylish designs and the community-oriented culture. Given this, it’s no surprise that big talent agencies like Nijisanji and VShojo regularly release merch for fans to buy.
Unsurprisingly, Hololive is no exception with its ongoing collab with Good Smile already seeing EN members Gawr Gura and Mori Calliope receive figures confirmed for June 30, 2023.
Now the next Hololive EN star to be added to the line-up has been confirmed with pre-orders for Takanashi Kiara’s POP UP PARADE figure going live.
