BANDAI SPIRITS' Collectors Division TAMASHII NATIONS, under its action figure brand "S.H.Figuarts," has released an action figure of Japanese skateboarder "Yuto Horigome." The suggested retail price is 9,900 JPY, with an anticipated release in February 2025!
Skateboarding was first included as an Olympic sport at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, divided into Park and Street categories. Yuto Horigome, then just 21 years old, clinched the gold medal in the Men's Street event. This month, he once again secured gold in the skateboarding event at the recently concluded 2024 Paris Olympics, solidifying his status as Japan's undisputed Skateboarding Prince!
This action figure of Yuto Horigome features him in a white top paired with black skateboarding pants. The face utilizes S.H.Figuarts' digital coloring technology (デジタル彩色) to faithfully reproduce Yuto Horigome's facial features, with paintwork that recreates the gradient effect of his brown hair. The shoes appear to be inspired by the SB Dunk colorway from Yuto Horigome's collaboration with Nike. Accessories include interchangeable face parts, three sets of interchangeable hands, a skateboard with a Mount Fuji motif printed on the bottom, and a staircase scene from a street competition. Coupled with a stand that can support both the figure and the skateboard, fans can recreate Yuto Horigome's cool poses from the competition!
