It has now been over a year since the anime ended, though fans can finally look forward to more anime goodness with the upcoming compilation film. Along with this, fans should also watch out for the new Hitori Gotoh Starry figure from Aniplex as it’s the most impressive Bocchi the Rock! figure yet!
Thanks to the series’ popularity, Bocchi has inspired lots of merch, including creative figures. Out of all of them though, this latest one from Aniplex is perhaps the most detailed and dynamic based on its pose and overall design.
Bocchi the Rock! Reveals Its Most Impressive Figure Yet
There may not have been a Bocchi the Rock! Season 2 announcement in 2023, but the year did give fans a lot of merch to collect. For instance, there’s the replica Hitori Gotoh guitar that’s a must-have for enthusiasts.
For figure collectors, there were various figures to choose from such as maid Bocchi, the Nendoroid Kikuri Hiroi, and more.
Now, Aniplex is highlighting three upcoming figures. Aside from a standard Bocchi figure and the maid outfit version, there’s also a 1/7 scale figure of Hitori Gotoh rocking out on her guitar.
This figure was recently showcased in its full-color version in Akihabara, Tokyo. There, fans were able to see the impressive details, including Bocchi’s first guitar, as well as her signature Kessoku Band black t-shirt.
What also makes this figure stand out is that it features a creative rendition of the live house Starry’s stage. Plus, it features Bocchi’s signature as a design element.

Bocchi the Rock! Hitori Gotoh Starry Aniplex Figure: Price and Release Date
This isn’t just a figure made for show though, as Aniplex opened pre-orders for it back in November. For those who haven’t yet, pre-orders can still be placed until January 14, 2024.
Unlike many anime merch collabs, this one is also available for pre-order in select US retailers. These include Aniplex’s own US online store, the official Animate US store, Crunchyroll, and more.
Take note that this figure does not come cheap. As it’s a large 1/7 scale figure, it has a price tag of JPY 22,000. In US retailers, the figure has a price of USD 165.99.
Given its level of detail, it won’t be released ASAP. Instead, it is set to ship in December 2024, meaning the compilation film will first be released in Japan before this gets shipped to customers.
