Doraemon - Variarts (029) - 80th Anniversary (Run'a)Doraemon · Run'a

This Variarts Doraemon figure, numbered 029, was released by Run'a as part of the character's 80th Anniversary celebration. Standing approximately 55mm tall, the prepainted figure commemorates one of Japan's most beloved cultural icons. Doraemon is a robotic cat sent back in time from the 22nd century to aid Nobita Nobi, a hapless schoolboy, using gadgets pulled from his four-dimensional pocket. Created by Fujiko F. Fujio, the series has been a cornerstone of Japanese popular culture since its debut, with the titular character's lack of ears—a result of being bitten by a robotic mouse—becoming one of the most recognizable design elements in anime history. The 80th Anniversary designation refers to the birth year of Doraemon's creator, marking a milestone in the franchise's enduring legacy across manga, anime, and merchandise. The Variarts line by Run'a focuses on detailed miniature renditions of classic characters, and this figure was released in November 2013 as a standard edition in Japan.
