Life-sized statues of VTuber Idols Fuwawa and Mococo Abyssgard go on display in Shibuya

Design COCO has brought the virtual world to life with the creation of life-sized figures of the wildly popular Hololive Production VTubers, Fuwawa Abyssgard and Mococo Abyssgard, in their “AXGRIT” versions. 

These stunning figures are making their debut at a new pop up shop within the SHIBUYA TSUTAYA 6th floor IP Bookstore, with the event starting today, Friday, April 25th, 2025.

This special event commemorates the first anniversary of the SHIBUYA TSUTAYA IP Bookstore’s reopening and marks the launch of “AXGRIT,” a new brand project born from a collaboration between the bookstore and Design COCO.

In creating these new life-sized figures, Design COCO have used the experience gained when they created life-sized replicas of Shirakami Fubuki and Ookami Mio which were on display at hololive SUPER EXPO 2025.

With full cooperation from Cover Corporation, the original “AXGRIT” costumes of Fuwawa Abyssgard and Mococo Abyssgard have been meticulously brought into the three-dimensional realm by Design COCO’s skilled artisans as impressive life-sized figures, which will be the centerpiece of the exhibition.

Alongside the towering displays, the event will also showcase 1/7 scale figures featuring the same designs. 

Notably, these smaller figures are not mere scaled-down versions of their life-sized counterparts; their proportions and sculpting have been thoroughly refined to perfectly suit the smaller scale.

AXGRIT is a groundbreaking brand project established by the SHIBUYA TSUTAYA IP Bookstore and Design COCO to celebrate the dual anniversaries of SHIBUYA TSUTAYA’s re-opening and the IP Bookstore’s opening.

With the aim of becoming a hub for new cultural trends, SHIBUYA TSUTAYA, known for its ability to captivate audiences across borders and generations with engaging content and events, has partnered with Design COCO, a company renowned for its expertise in figure creation and various other forms of manufacturing.

Together, they envision AXGRIT as a central point where all forms of content converge, solidifying Shibuya’s position as a leading global destination for anime and game culture.

The AXGRIT brand centers around an original narrative: in a near-future Earth where science has flourished and humanity has developed “Cross-Dimension”, a device that allows access to the “Multiverse” where contact with beings from other realities becomes commonplace. 

However, a system-wide disaster known as the “Dimension Accident” merges countless worlds, plunging them into chaos. Amidst the upheaval, the United Nations organization “United Birth” is established to restore order. 

New challenges arise in the form of unknown disasters and mysterious enemies impervious to conventional weaponry. 

A force calling itself “Nemesis Gravitas” seeks to exploit the “Gravity Core,” the power source of “Cross-Dimension,” to conquer the inhabitants of these merged worlds.

The life-sized figures of Fuwawa and Mococo Abyssgard in their AXGRIT attire represent the first tangible manifestation of this exciting new brand, inviting fans to witness the convergence of virtual idols and expert craftsmanship in the heart of Shibuya.

The statues will be on display from Friday, April 25th, to Thursday, May 29th, 2025 at SHIBUYA TSUTAYA IP Bookstore.
