Memory-Tech Tsukuba Co., Ltd. Interactive Content Division Sunhoseki (Headquarters: Chikusei City, Ibaraki Prefecture; CEO: Shinya Suzuki) is pleased to announce the restock and planned sale of the 'Hoppe-chan Hand-Squeezing Kit,' which had been out of stock due to its great popularity, starting at 0:00 AM on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 (Public Holiday).
This product is the series' first authentic craft kit that expands the charm of Sunhoseki's original character 'Hoppe-chan' from just purchasing to an experience of creating with one's own hands. At the previous sale, it received a huge response and sold out in just 10 minutes. It became a hot topic on SNS and fan communities, with many requests for a resale.
From Buying to Creating! The 15-Year-Plus Beloved 'Hoppe-chan' Evolves into a New Way of Enjoyment
'Hoppe-chan' is Sunhoseki's popular original character, loved by many fans for many years for its squishy, adorable form and rich variations. While 'Hoppe-chan' has garnered support for the fun of collecting, this kit evolves that charm further, providing a new experience where users can squeeze and create their own unique Hoppe-chan.
A key feature is the ability to enjoy the sensation of squeezing cream while making a one-of-a-kind original work. This has attracted broad support from children, the generation that grew up with 'Hoppe-chan,' parents, and craft enthusiasts. It is drawing attention as a product suitable for summer research projects, family craft time, and gift needs.
Background of the Restock: Surge in Resale Requests Following Immediate Sell-Out
At the time of the pre-sale, the combination of novelty, nostalgia, and the handmade experience became a hot topic, leading to an immediate sell-out. On SNS, reactions such as 'It's fun to be able to squeeze it yourself,' 'I'm happy I can now make the Hoppe-chan I loved as a child,' and 'It's fun for parents and children' spread widely.
Beyond being mere character merchandise, the product is gaining attention as something where the creation process itself becomes a value that cannot be obtained by just buying a finished product. This restock was realized in response to such feedback.
