BANPRESTO, a prize figure brand under Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS, has officially announced the commercialization of the "Grandista Sadako" prize figure. This new collectible features "Sadako Yamamura," the iconic character from the horror film series "The Ring" (リング), and is slated for release starting October 2026.
"The Ring" is a Japanese horror novel penned by Koji Suzuki in 1991. Its 1998 film adaptation by Hideo Nakata achieved massive success, with Sadako's chilling emergence from a television set, clad in a white dress and obscured by long hair, becoming one of the most iconic scenes in Japanese horror cinema. This moment cemented Sadako's status as a globally recognized horror icon.
This Grandista rendition meticulously sculpts Sadako's signature appearance, capturing her in a static pose with her long black hair cascading down and her white dress flowing. The Grandista series' characteristic imposing scale further amplifies her terrifying presence. BANPRESTO officially states that this figure pays particular attention to the "sense of flowing hair, the texture of the white dress, and the atmosphere of silently approaching dread," aiming to perfectly recreate that spine-chilling, oppressive feeling.
