Following the popular "Nendoroid" series, which boasts over a thousand products from Japan's GOOD SMILE COMPANY, and its releases based on the classic anime "Hikaru no Go" featuring "Fujiwara no Sai" and "Hikaru Shindo," the third product commemorating the 20th anniversary of the "Hikaru no Go" anime, "Nendoroid Akira Toya," is also set to appear! The suggested retail price is 5,800 JPY, and it is scheduled for release in November 2023.
The genius young Go player, Akira Toya, influenced by his father, Koyo Toya, the top Go player in Japan, began learning Go from a young age. His intense dedication to Go, coupled with his serious, mature personality and strict upbringing, earned him the title of "Prince of the Go World." After being defeated by the novice Hikaru Shindo (who was guided by Sai), he was deeply shaken and regarded Hikaru as his rival, though he was actually always pursuing Sai's Go artistry.
The "Nendoroid Akira Toya" stands approximately 10 cm tall, cutely recreating Akira's polite attire and neat bob haircut. It comes with three interchangeable face plates: a serious expression for intense matches, a polite and gentle "smiling face," and an "angry face" for when he's provoked by Hikaru's remarks. Paired with his Go-playing hand gestures and accessories like a "Go board" and "cushion," you can enjoy recreating the White Dragon... (ahem), enjoy recreating the genius Go player in action!
