Two Kaiju Hyakkei Blocks, Two Different Scenes
The Kaiju No. 8 Kaiju Hyakkei series offers small acrylic displays that pair characters with seasonal settings. Two current options share the same format but differ in cast and mood: one shows Kikoru Shinomiya, Mina Ashiro, and Konomi Okonogi at a cherry blossom picnic, while the other features Kafka Hibino, Reno Ichikawa, and Kikoru Shinomiya visiting a shrine in winter.
Because both blocks use the same material and dimensions, your choice comes down to which characters and scene you want on your shelf. The sections below compare the supplied details so you can pick with clear expectations.
Spring Picnic Block: Kikoru, Mina & Konomi
- Kaiju No. 8 Kaiju Hyakkei Kikoru Mina Konomi Acrylic Block: Features Kikoru Shinomiya, Mina Ashiro, and Konomi Okonogi enjoying a cherry blossom picnic. This is the only one of the two blocks that includes Mina and Konomi, so it suits fans of the Third Division leadership and support characters.
Kaiju No. 8 Kaiju Hyakkei Kikoru Mina Konomi Acrylic Block - Kaiju No. 8 Kaiju Hyakkei Kikoru Mina Konomi Acrylic Block: Material: Acrylic; Dimensions: 3.54" × 2.76" × 0.20". The compact size fits on a desk or narrow shelf, and the acrylic construction is intended for clear display.
- Kaiju No. 8 Kaiju Hyakkei Kikoru Mina Konomi Acrylic Block: Catalog price: USD 7.68 (catalog comparison price USD 12.00). At the listed price, this block is the lower-cost option of the two.
Winter Shrine Block: Kafka, Reno & Kikoru
- Kaiju No. 8 Kaiju Hyakkei Kafka Reno Kikoru Acrylic Block: Features Kafka Hibino, Reno Ichikawa, and Kikoru Shinomiya visiting a shrine in a serene winter scene. This is the only one of the two blocks that includes Kafka and Reno, making it a natural pick if you follow the main trio.
Kaiju No. 8 Kaiju Hyakkei Kafka Reno Kikoru Acrylic Block - Kaiju No. 8 Kaiju Hyakkei Kafka Reno Kikoru Acrylic Block: Material: Acrylic; Dimensions: 3.54" × 2.76" × 0.20". It matches the other block in size and material, so the two can sit side by side without one overpowering the other.
- Kaiju No. 8 Kaiju Hyakkei Kafka Reno Kikoru Acrylic Block: Catalog price: USD 9.00 (catalog comparison price USD 12.00). This block costs a bit more than the spring picnic version, so factor that into your choice if budget matters.

- Catalog price: Spring picnic: USD 7.68. Winter shrine: USD 9.00.
Which Block Fits Your Collection?
If your favorite character is Kikoru, note that she appears on both blocks, so you can choose based on the supporting cast. Pick the spring picnic block if you want Mina and Konomi alongside her, or the winter shrine block if you prefer Kafka and Reno.
Consider the seasonal mood too. The cherry blossom picnic brings a bright, spring feel, while the shrine visit is quieter and wintry. Either can work as a small accent on a desk, shelf, or display case, as the product descriptions suggest.
