Pop Team Epic - Pipimi - Daruma (Good Smile Company, GoodSmile Moment)Pipimi

Good Smile Company presents Pipimi from Pop Team Epic as a Daruma doll under their GoodSmile Moment lifestyle brand. This unique collectible reimagines the character in the traditional Japanese Daruma format. Pop Team Epic is a surreal comedy manga and anime series created by Bkub Okawa, featuring the absurd misadventures of two high school girls, Popuko and Pipimi. The series is renowned for its chaotic humor, meta-referential comedy, and tendency to subvert expectations at every turn. Pipimi, the taller of the duo, complements Popuko with her deadpan delivery and equally unhinged antics, and together they cycle through rapid-fire parodies and bizarre scenarios that have made the series a cult favorite. The Daruma design draws on the traditional Japanese good luck doll that rights itself when knocked over, symbolizing perseverance. Standing approximately 46mm tall, this Pipimi Daruma was available for preorder from April 17 through May 10, 2023, with shipping beginning in September 2023, limited to three per person.
