The Savior of the Century's End Returns! Hong Kong toy company Storm Collectibles, known for its numerous action figures, is set to release a 1/6 scale collectible action figure of Kenshiro (ケンシロウ), the protagonist from the classic manga series "Fist of the North Star"! Priced at US$240.
The classic work "Fist of the North Star" (北斗の拳), originally written by Buronson-sensei and illustrated by Tetsuo Hara-sensei, is undoubtedly a household name. The powerful and iconic image of Kenshiro as the savior of the apocalypse has long been deeply ingrained in many hearts. First serialized in a manga weekly in 1983, 2023 marked the 40th anniversary of the series' birth, with countless related sequels, games, and merchandise. Classic lines such as "You are already dead" and "You have three seconds left to live" are still widely known. Signature special moves from the original work, such as "Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken" (Hundred Crack Fist of the North Star) and "Nishi Shinku Ha" (Two-Finger Vacuum Grab), are also techniques many fans enjoy imitating.

Paired with Kenshiro's signature stoic expression, it's as if the savior has reappeared.
For accessories, there are 8 sets of interchangeable hand parts, including clenched fists, open palms, and single-finger pointing, allowing for various poses to recreate Kenshiro's diverse martial arts moves from the original work.
