Owning a figure of your best girl is always a reason to smile. But having one of your best girl in one of her most iconic scenes — that’s worth bragging about. With Alter’s upcoming release of the Marin Kitagawa Liz figure from My Dress-Up Darling, fans have the chance to own an impressive collectible featuring the show’s lead heroine.
The Marin Kitagawa Liz Figure — An Iconic Anime Figure
If you were an anime fan during the winter 2022 season, without a doubt, you heard and saw content relating to Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru. With one of the healthiest relationships in anime, gratuitous fan service, and a lovable plot, the show took over social media like the USSR took over Eastern Europe. The show’s lead heroine, Marin Kitagawa, enchanted fans with her gyaru fashion style and love for cosplay. One sequence of the show entered the lofty heights of anime history: the Love Hotel Liz cosplay scene.
An employee at Alter watched that scene, recognized its commercial potential, picked up the phone, and contacted Missile to transform it into a figure. The 1/6 scale, 6.7″ (17 cm) ABS, PVC figure features Marin in her Liz succubus cosplay. Estimated to ship in March 2025, the figure retails for $220 and makes a perfect collector’s item. This figure perfectly recreates Marin’s cosplay, capturing the essence of the iconic scene.
Sucky Sucky Succubus
We at J-List appreciate succubi and we certainly appreciate Marin Kitagawa, so let us tell you how epic this figure is. Firstly, the figure brings interchangeable parts, which allows you to display her as Marin or Liz. Secondly, Missile expertly sculpted this figure, capturing every detail from Liz’s wings and the frills of her costume to her smooth thighs and shapely bottom, making it a true reflection of the anime. Seriously, this isn’t any other figure. This is Marin/Liz; you can feel her soul, and you can feel her pride in the figure’s stare. There’s an elegance to this figure that’s difficult to come by.
Usually, I’m the first to gush about lewdness. But despite the flagrant sex appeal of this figure, what draws me most to it is the feeling of love it exudes. The love that Marin has for cosplay, the love that Alter and Missile have for making figures, and the love that fans have for this show are abundantly clear in the Marin Kitagawa Liz figure. And you too can share in that love by preordering her here.
What’s My Dress-Up Darling About?
The funny thing about hobbies, or anything in life for that matter, is that they’re rarely insular. What you perfect in one craft can often greatly help you in another. That’s a lesson that the meek and lonely Wakana Gojou learns firsthand as his obsession with hina dolls leads to him befriending the beautiful Marin Kitagawa. Marin, unbeknownst to her classmates, is a cosplay nut. When she discovers that Gojou is a proficient tailor, she recruits him to help her with her cosplays. As the two work together, the line between their partnership, friendship, and romance quickly blurs. Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru is available on Crunchyroll. The Cloverworks anime was adapted from the manga originally by Shinichi Fukuda.
