1/7 Shinobu Oshino: Trick or Treat Figure – Monogatari Series (25 cm)

Product Description

Immerse yourself in the macabre and gourmet atmosphere of Halloween with this splendid 1/7 figure of Shinobu Oshino in “Trick or Treat” version, from the famous Monogatari Series franchise.
Standing 25 cm tall, this PVC and ABS statuette features Shinobu in a pose that is both innocent and sensual: her red skirt swirls under her left foot, revealing a white lace panel and the message “Trick or Treat” written on her left thigh. Her long blond hair waves in the wind, enhanced by a hoop of bloody donuts stuck by a long dagger. Small bat wings discreetly extend from her back, recalling her vampiric nature.
The strawberry cake-shaped base topped with dripping red jam creates a delicious yet eerie atmosphere: pumpkin lanterns with tortured faces, flickering candles, and cream puffs inspired by the characters Koyomi Araragi and Yotsugi Ononoki adorn the perimeter, adding nods to the original universe. The pearly shimmer applied to the skirt gives it a delicate texture and visually enriches the whole. Every detail, from the delicate bandage around her arms to the wheel of bloody donuts, has been carefully painted to capture the figure's gothic, festive vibe.

Who is Shinobu Oshino?

Shinobu Oshino, formerly known as Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade, is the legendary, near-divine vampire from the Monogatari Series born from the imagination of Nisio Isin.
At the height of her power, she reigned under the title "King of Apparitions," capable of annihilating any supernatural creature. Nearly mortally wounded by Koyomi Araragi, she transferred her essence to Araragi, becoming the mute child, Shinobu, imprisoned in the basement of her villa. When she is not weakened, she returns to her adult vampire form with golden hair and amber eyes, oscillating between bloodthirsty cruelty and bewitching gentleness. Shinobu still bears the scars of her icy past: the white bandage partially covering her arm, the dagger soaked in the blood of her victims, and the piercing gaze, both playful and menacing. Her insatiable appetite for sweet donuts or ice cream reflects her ancient nature, capable of succumbing to the most childish gluttony. She embodies the complex bond between childlike innocence and the cruelty of a thousand-year-old vampire, offering moments of tenderness when she converses with Araragi, then bursts of incredible violence when she defends her territory.

Complete History of the Monogatari Series

The Monogatari Series is a literary and animated universe created by Nisio Isin, with illustrations by VOFAN. Published since 2006 as light novels by Kodansha, the series is distinguished by its non-linear narratives, its verbose dialogues and its unique visual aesthetic.
Bakemonogatari Arc (2006–2009) – The story begins with Bakemonogatari, where Koyomi Araragi, a near-immortal high school student, helps several high school girls possessed by aberrations (Hitagi Senjougahara, Tsubasa Hanekawa, Mayoi Hachikuji, Sengoku Nadeko, Karen Araragi). Each encounter reveals a supernatural creature from Japanese folklore, inviting reflection on human nature and social interactions.
Kizumonogatari Arc (2012–2013) – This prequel traces the initial encounter between Araragi and Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade, aka Shinobu. Gravely injured, the vampire transfers some of her power to Araragi in order to survive, triggering the hunt for three rival vampires who possess fragments of her body (Dramaturgia, Episode, Guillotinecutter). This film trilogy (Tekketsu, Nekketsu, Reiketsu) sheds light on the origin of the close relationship between Shinobu and Araragi.
Nisemonogatari Arc, Monogatari Series Second Season, Owarimonogatari, etc. – After Kizumonogatari, the saga continues with a multitude of “arcs” exploring the psychology of the characters (Nadeko Sengoku, Hanamonogatari, Tsukimonogatari, etc.). Each arc addresses a different supernatural phenomenon (snakes, gods, spirits, etc.) and delves deeper into the inner dilemmas of Araragi and his gang. The universe spans over 20 volumes and over 800 minutes of animation, produced by studio Shaft, known for its experimental visual style and dizzying shots.
Success and Cultural Impact – The franchise has sold over 7 million light novels in Japan, and its animated adaptations have won over an international audience thanks to their bold aesthetic, their soundtrack by Satoru Kosaki and the talent of seiyū Mariya Ito as Shinobu. In addition to animation, Monogatari has been released in manga, drama CDs, video games (PSP, PS Vita) and figurines, including this Halloween version of Shinobu. Its popularity has spawned an active community of fan art, cosplay, and philosophical analysis on the symbolism of aberrations and the psychological complexity of the protagonists.
