Today (20th), BANDAI SPIRITS' prize figure brand BANPRESTO unveiled its new product lineup scheduled for release in February 2024. This article will introduce the "Kenshin Himura" figure from "Rurouni Kenshin"!
Kenshin Himura, arguably the childhood crush for countless girls, is small in stature but possesses exceptional swordsmanship. Normally gentle and considerate, he proves more reliable than anyone in battle. After his time as the "Hitokiri Battousai" (Manslayer Battousai) who cut down countless people, Kenshin once again wielded his sword for a new era, vowing never to kill. His signature sword style, "Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū," is an ancient sword art renowned for its lightning-fast sword drawing techniques, which he learned from Hiko Seijuro, the 13th successor of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū.
This BANPRESTO figure of "Kenshin Himura" is designed with a battle stance where he lowers his center of gravity, preparing to draw his sword, showcasing an excellent sense of dynamism. From his intensely flowing red long hair and the wrinkles in his clothing caused by the movement, to the sculpting of his ankles and feet... all these details significantly enhance the visual tension of the figure. His right hand, poised to grasp the sword hilt, and his serious, sharp gaze convey the powerful feeling of the reverse-blade sword about to be drawn – truly magnificent!
