Hong Kong-based toy brand Storm Collectibles, known for its expertise in crafting fighting game and manga-themed action figures, has officially unveiled the next entry in the "Kengan Ashura" series. Following the release of their first figure, Tokita Ohma, the company recently announced the Kure Raian action figure on their official Facebook page, slated for release in Q2 2022.
Kure Raian stands as an anomaly even within the infamous Kure Clan, a notorious group of assassins. He is often referred to as the "Forbidden Descendant" or "Devil," constantly driven by a surging bloodlust and a penchant for unilaterally crushing weaker opponents. In the Kengan Annihilation Tournament from "Kengan Ashura," he fought on behalf of the Under Mount company. During his battles against Mokichi Robinson and Tokita Ohma, he consistently relied on sheer physical prowess and brutal, overwhelming force to dominate his adversaries. His combat power becomes truly terrifying after activating the Kure Clan's secret technique, "Removal."
This figure captures Raian in his "Removal" state, where his entire body turns a dark brown and veins bulge across his physique. The musculature across his limbs, chest, and abdomen is sculpted with an exaggerated, powerful definition. His black shorts are painted to accurately recreate the white cross patterns. Beyond his distinctive white short hair, the head sculpt masterfully captures Raian's facial contours and his utterly deranged, bloodthirsty expressions. The three included mischievous, villainous grins are fantastic, offering plenty of meme potential! Coupled with a full range of articulation, four pairs of interchangeable hands, and punch/kick effect parts, collectors can recreate Raian's brutal beatdowns.
Now, let's dive into Raian's brutal "Removal" rampage as he absolutely decimates Ohma.
▼ First, he effortlessly catches Ohma's piercing strike.
▼ Then, he delivers a vicious uppercut to Ohma's abdomen.
▼ Following up, he sends Ohma flying with a kick!
▼ Finally, he closes in on Ohma with a flying attack, slamming him to the ground with a palm strike, securing Raian's victory.
