Japan's Megahouse toy company, under its high-quality "G.E.M." series which brings anime and manga characters to life as figures, will rerelease the "Shinsuke Takasugi ver. En 20th Anniversary" PVC painted finished product to commemorate the 20th anniversary of "Gintama"! The suggested retail price is 22,000 JPY, and it is scheduled for release in January 2024.
As one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Joui in "Gintama", Shinsuke Takasugi is based on Takasugi Shinsaku, a Choshu domain samurai from the Edo period who led the Kiheitai. In the series' setting, he is the founder of two generations of the "Kiheitai" and was friends with Gintoki and Katsura since their student days, though he is very much at odds with Gintoki. He once uttered the famous line, "I just want to destroy this world," and is regarded as the most radical and dangerous man among the Joui patriots, wanted by the Shogunate.
The "G.E.M. Shinsuke Takasugi ver. En 20th Anniversary" PVC painted finished product is making a rerelease to celebrate the 20th anniversary, based on the "G.E.M. Shinsuke Takasugi ver. En" sold in 2015! Standing approximately 20 cm tall, it captures him leaning back in a chair with powerful fingers, recreating Takasugi's chuunibyou eye patch and fearless smile! His kimono, revealing his chest, showcases his well-defined muscular physique. The haori, adorned with metallic-textured patterns, is detachable, allowing for enjoyment of two different atmospheric styles.
