TAMASHII NATIONS, the collector's toy division of Japan's BANDAI SPIRITS, has announced an all-new sculpt and articulated body for their popular "S.H.Figuarts" series, re-releasing a "Naruto Uzumaki -The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Entrusted with Hope-" figure from the "Naruto" series, slated for a June 2022 release.
Compared to the unsightly and obtrusive joint parts of the previous version, the new body addresses unnatural gaps in the joints. By adding more articulation points and incorporating sculpted parts for the elbows and knees, exposed joints are now hidden, resulting in more natural poses, improved body lines, and a significantly more flexible range of motion. Beyond the revamped designs for Naruto and Sasuke, Sakura Haruno, who had long awaited her own release, finally makes her official debut alongside this wave of remakes.
The "S.H.Figuarts Naruto Uzumaki -The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Entrusted with Hope-" utilizes completely new parts to faithfully recreate his early "Part II (Shippuden)" appearance. It comes with four interchangeable face plates: a smirking face, a surprised face, a gritting teeth face, and a shouting face. Additionally, collectors can equip him with a "Kunai" and a "Rasengan effect" part, allowing for more natural and dynamic battle poses thanks to the new articulated body.
