These two new action figures from Revoltech just came in a few days ago, had they were released earlier, I would have bought them in Hong Kong at the drop of a hat. But no matter, the action figures in question feature the same anime character, albeit him and his split personality. It’s none other than the wanderer himself, Kenshin Himura and his dangerous man-killer (assassin) alter ego, Himura Battosai from the anime/manga Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X).
I’ve watched the anime since I was a kid and remember being enthralled by how amazing it looked. I even started buying manga due to watching Rurouni Kenshin (simply because the manga and anime storylines diverge on some parts). 2011 marks the 15th anniversary of the animation of Ruroni Kenshin. The author Kisaragi Nobuhiro and a large number of fans have wanted to see the Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu moves in their display shelves, now Revoltech release a pair of action figures for the celebration.
Yamaguchi Studios analyzed Kenshin and his moves when they create the different parts. The flexible joints allows Kenshin to unleash his power and the display stand supports him when he leaps into the air. Each of the packages come with the drawn sword, the sheathed sword and the half drawn sword. His eyes are extremely sharp during the fights, change the face pieces to have him glare at his hidden enemies from side to side. Dust flies when he lashes out, the white effect part in the box is the materialization of the force
Both figurines are going for USD 39.90. Check out the Kenshin Himura version over here: https://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-47yl-71-8x-49-en-84-j-70-4ct4.html and the Battosai Himura version over here: https://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-47yl-71-8x-49-en-84-j-70-4ct3.html
