A life-size(ish) 10:1 scale, 150 cm “moving and talking” Frame Arms Girl Gorai is finally real. At the All Japan Model Hobby Show (Oct 18–19, Tokyo Big Sight), Kotobukiya’s booth will unveil the Cutieroid Gorai with 18 motion poses, an 8-minute set of newly recorded lines by Narumi Kaho, and projection-mapped facial expressions—a tech showcase born from a crowdfunding campaign that reached 165%.
See the 150 cm moving-and-talking Gorai at Kotobukiya’s booth
The first public demo happens inside the All Japan Model Hobby Show at Tokyo Big Sight (Oct 18–19), within the Kotobukiya booth. Expect a special presentation created just for the show. Check the venue map and on-site signage for queueing and photo rules before lining up. Official event info: Show website.
What to watch for: 18 poses, 8-minute voice set, and live facial projection
Cutieroid Gorai pairs high-torque motor control for natural arm and head motion with projection-mapped expressions that shift in real time. Voice actor Narumi Kaho—Gorai in the TV anime—recorded a dedicated ~8-minute script just for this booth performance, selling the illusion that she’s speaking right in front of you.
Why this prototype matters: from 165% crowdfunding to faithful coloring
The July-launched crowdfunding campaign hit 165%, unlocking a stretch goal for professional paintwork that boosts color accuracy to the on-screen model. The team’s aim is simple and audacious: make “you can meet the anime character” a real-world moment.
Side-by-side with the 55 cm CutieroidDoll (4th prototype)
A 55 cm robotic doll version appears alongside the 150 cm unit. The latest 4th proto adds 8 motion patterns (in progress), a strengthened neck structure, and higher waist holding power—pointing toward everyday companionship use cases.
