Some time ago, the official media for the anime adaptation “My Dress-Up Darling” (Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo suru) announced a collaboration with the company “SEGA PLAZA” that would consist in the production of a revealing prize figure that was inspired by the character Marin Kitagawa. The prize figurine was a hit with the otaku community because of the way Marin was presented for the occasion, generating great interest from the public who wanted to purchase this charming product.
This great interest from the public towards this figure of Marin Kitagawa caused this product to run out in a considerable time, so the company “SEGA PLAZA” announced a relaunch of this prize figure that has so fascinated the fans of the popular franchise “My Dress-Up Darling“.
My Dress-Up Darling: Marin Kitagawa Figure Causes a Sensation
In the screenshots of the prize figure that were presented on the official website of the Japanese company SEGA PLAZA, we can see the more seductive side of Marin Kitagawa. In it, we will be able to see Marin wearing her swimsuit that we have seen in the well-known scene where the protagonist Gojou starts to take Marin’s measurements for the first time. However, in this figure we will also be able to see Marin getting ready for this occasion, taking off those shorts.
It is worth noting that this prize figure of Marin Kitagawa belongs to SEGA PLAZA’s figure division known as “Luminasta“. This interesting brand has been highlighted by the otaku community for presenting figures of various waifus of the anime industry with an incredible level of detail in the characterization of the characters.
According to the information provided by SEGA PLAZA‘s official media, this prize figure of Marin Kitagawa is scheduled to be re-released in arcade centers in Japan on March 21st of this year.

We recommend keeping an eye on the franchise’s official media for any future updates.
“My Dress-Up Darling” is a story that immerses us in the life of Wakana Gojou, a high school student who has decided to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and begins to perfect his technique of creating hina dolls. While his teenage peers immerse themselves in popular culture, Gojou finds deep happiness in making clothes for his dolls. However, he jealously guards this unique hobby, fearing ridicule if his peers find out about this pastime.
One day, his life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Marin Kitagawa, an extraordinarily beautiful girl whose confidence and personality contrast with Gojou’s shyness. It seems unthinkable that someone like him, with no close friends, could relate to someone like Kitagawa, who is always surrounded by peers.
However, something surprising happens when Kitagawa discovers Gojou’s skill with the sewing machine and, with glee, confesses his own hobby: cosplay. Since Kitagawa’s sewing skills are very pitiful, Kitagawa decides to ask Gojou for help.
As they work together to create cosplay costumes, Gojou and Kitagawa grow closer and closer, despite the differences in their lives and personalities. Through their collaboration, they discover a special friendship that helps them overcome barriers and explore their true passion. “My Dress-Up Darling” immerses us in a world of personal growth, acceptance and the transformative power of love for art. The story teaches us that unexpected connections can change our lives and open us to new horizons of authenticity and happiness.
