The character goods brand "Y4K PRODUCTS" (sold by YSC Corporation) has launched the industry's first 3D acrylic figure stand series, "Tobista."
The first step in this endeavor is a collaboration with "Fist of the North Star."
The illustrations by Tetsuo Hara have been fully transformed into 3D using the latest patent pending 3D processing!
Pre-orders will begin on Thursday, August 1st at 12:00 for two types of figures: "Kenshiro: End of the Century Savior" and "Kenshiro: Land of Carnage."
"Kenshiro: Savior of the End of the Century"
This is an impressive piece featuring Kenshiro with a dignified expression and an iron pipe in his hand.
Dripping blood and countless scattered skulls are recreated in 3D, perfectly recreating the brutal wilderness of the battle.
"Kenshiro: Land of Carnage"
This piece features scenes of approaching Shura being defeated one after the other.
Even the splattering blood is depicted in ultra-three-dimensional detail, creating a stunning finish that makes you feel as if you can hear the death cries.
The acrylic stand is over 25cm in size! Don't miss the impressive size!

"Fist of the North Star" was a manga written by Buronson and illustrated by Hara Tetsuo that was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" from 1983 to 1988. Set at the end of the century, when civilization has been lost due to the final war and the world has become dominated by violence, the story depicts Kenshiro, the successor of the Hokuto Shinken, as he grows into a savior, shouldering both love and sorrow.
The work was so popular that it became a social phenomenon, with a TV anime series, a movie version, and a spin-off featuring supporting characters, and it celebrated its 40th anniversary on September 13, 2023.
