The Underwear Knight is Back! Nendoroid Arthur from Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection Announced

The strongest knight in his undies is here! Japanese toy company Good Smile Company is set to release a Nendoroid figure of Arthur, the iconic protagonist from Capcom's classic game "Ghosts 'n Goblins," in October 2022!

Among Capcom's many renowned game IPs, "Ghosts 'n Goblins" stands out as a classic widely known for its notoriously high difficulty in its early days. First appearing in arcades in 1985, the game captivated players with its terrifying monsters and atmospheric stages. Protagonist Arthur's armored knight design, along with his memorable transformation into just his underwear after taking damage, were particularly unique.

Of course, what truly 'hurt' players the most was the game's incredibly high difficulty, arguably surpassing even Capcom's other iconic 2D action title, "Mega Man"! Yet, this very challenge attracted countless skilled players, boosting its popularity and leading to ports across numerous consoles. It remains a truly classic title.

This Nendoroid Arthur is based on his design from the new series entry, "Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection," released in 2021. It faithfully recreates Arthur's armored knight appearance from the game, showcasing a cool new take on his expressions. The figure includes two interchangeable face plates: a standard expression and a shouting face. For accessories, Arthur comes equipped with his signature spear, a dagger, and holy water, along with a treasure chest commonly found in the game. These allow fans to recreate a variety of dynamic poses from the game. Fans of the series won't want to miss out!
