A Statue and a Music Box in One! LAPUTA Studios’ “The Secret World of Arrietty”
LAPUTA Studios’ new release in their Studio Ghibli lineup brings The Secret World of Arrietty to life in a beautiful fusion of diorama and music box. This intricately crafted piece not only captures a heartwarming scene but also plays iconic tunes from the animated film, making it both visually and aurally delightful.
The statue is based on Arrietty’s cozy room. The scene is brimming with charming and detailed elements, making it feel warm and lived-in.
Known for its richly immersive scenes, LAPUTA Studios spares no effort in the detailing. Every inch of the setting exudes life and warmth, with a sophisticated sense of texture and care.
The mirror in the display is actually reflective, allowing Arrietty to naturally appear as if she’s brushing her hair while facing her dressing table.
In addition to the fully furnished room version, a simpler version without the wall and background is also available. However, some visual depth and detail may be lost in the pared-down edition.
Both versions come with a gear-driven full-brass music box movement that can be hand-cranked to play music for about 1 minute and 30 seconds at regular speed. The mechanism also automatically rewinds for continuous playback.
The LAPUTA Studios Secret World of Arrietty music box statue measures 31.5 cm long, 18.5 cm wide, and 25 cm tall. It will be available in two editions: a Standard Edition (without the room background) and a Full Scene Edition.
If you’re a longtime fan of Studio Ghibli or simply adore beautifully crafted collectibles that blend art and nostalgia, this Arrietty music box diorama from LAPUTA Studios is definitely worth keeping an eye on. With its intricate detailing and the added charm of a working music box, it’s the kind of piece that brings a little magic into your everyday space. Set to ship in Q3 2025, now might be the perfect time to start making room on your shelf for this enchanting treasure.
