Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon: Tohru shows off her enormous attributes in Figures
Hobby Japan describes the Tohru figure as follows: From Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon comes a figure of Tohru wearing a cow print bikini. Based on an illustration posted on social media by the original author, Cool-kyou Shinja, a new illustration was created specifically for this figure, which was then sculpted in great detail.
The figure’s pose has been carefully designed to reflect Tohru’s vibrant and wild personality. Her innocent tenderness is captured in a flirtatious wink, a sassy expression with a slightly open mouth and a slight blush on her cheeks.
The delicately sculpted hair features a gradient that allows you to appreciate the subtle color changes. Her distinctive bust and powerful hips are a true reflection of her essence as a dragon. The detailed color work on her glamorous figure gives her a soft, fleshy finish. The cow print bikini is designed to further highlight the boldness of the figure, being a garment full of eye-catching details.
The skin parts, such as the arms and thighs, have been treated with the “Smooth Skin” process to achieve a smooth and realistic texture, unique among collectible figures. Feel the delicate texture of the skin directly in your hands and welcome the dragon maid Tohru into your home!
As mentioned above, this new Tohru scale figure from the anime Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon is scheduled to be released for sale in Japan in the course of August/September and will be available at a price of 19,800 yen, which is equivalent to approximately 126.02 US dollars. In addition, in the technical section of the product it was specified that the figure will have an approximate height of 245 mm and was manufactured by the Japanese company AMAKUNI.

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon anime to return in 2025 with a Movie
Last September 21, the official media of the anime Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon announced the production of a movie for the series. This film will be titled Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon: Samishigariya no Ryuu and will be released during the year 2025.
The anime Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon has the following description: The story introduces us to the life of Kobayashi, who is preparing for another day at work. However, upon opening the door to her apartment, she is met with an unusually terrifying sight: the head of a dragon staring at her from the other side of the balcony. The dragon immediately transforms into a cute, talented and energetic young woman dressed in a maid’s outfit, introducing herself as Tohru.
It turns out that the stoic programmer had encountered the dragon the night before on a hike in the mountains, and having nowhere to go, had offered the creature a place to stay in her home. Therefore, Tohru had arrived to accept the offer, ready to thank her savior’s kindness by working as her personal servant. Although Kobayashi feels deeply regretful for her words and hesitates to keep her promise, a mixture of guilt and Tohru’s amazing dragon skills convince Kobayashi to accept the girl.
Despite being extremely efficient at her job, the maid’s unconventional cleaning methods often end up scaring Kobayashi and, at times, generate more trouble than help. In addition, the circumstances behind the dragon’s arrival on Earth appear to be far more complex than they appear, as Tohru has intense emotions and painful memories.
To top it all off, Tohru’s presence ends up attracting several other mythical beings to his new home, bringing with him a host of eccentric personalities. Although Kobayashi does her best to handle the peculiar situation she finds herself in, nothing has prepared her for this new life with a dragon maid.
