Even shooting stars need a day off. This Banpresto Relax Time figure captures Hoshimachi Suisei in a moment her Hoshiyomi rarely get to see: the cap and crown set aside, hair down in loose blue waves, settled on the floor in an oversized grey hoodie with bear ears. Both hands reach up to pull the hood over her head, and there is just enough of a smile to suggest she is exactly where she wants to be.
It is a deliberate contrast to the Suisei who headlines Nippon Budokan, charts on Oricon, and has been working toward a Tokyo Dome performance since before most fans knew her name. The Relax Time series exists for exactly this: the unguarded version of a character you already know, rendered in figure form.
