Shisui Machiboke Gashapon Mini Figure – The Apothecary Diaries

Some people wait politely. Shisui crouches down, folds her arms on her knees and looks as if she is watching a beetle cross the path. This Shisui mini figure comes from the Machiboke capsule-toy line, where the cast of the rear palace sits and waits for you.

Shisui Machiboke gashapon figure

The figure is a big-headed chibi Shisui: dark red-brown hair in two high buns with curls tumbling down each side, large amber eyes and a small, knowing smile. She crouches in a pale grey robe with teal cuffs and an orange layer at the back, arms crossed on her knees. Machiboke means being kept waiting, and it suits the bug-loving maid who appears at Maomao's side whenever there is an insect to catch, and who knows more than she lets on.

What you get

• 1 Shisui mini figure in the crouching, waiting pose
• Bandai Gashapon capsule figure from the Machiboke line
• Size about 3 to 5 cm, material PVC

• Xiaolan from the same line is sold separately

A desk-sized lookout

At this size she sits on a monitor stand, a shelf edge, the rim of a plant pot or the top of a row of books. Put her next to the Xiaolan figure from the same line and the two maids wait for gossip together, as they do between chores. A small gift for the friend who would also rather look at insects than at Jinshi.
