Gedo Senki - Ryuu (Benelic)Ryuu · Benelic

Benelic presents a figure of Ryuu from Gedo Senki, also known as Tales from Earthsea, Studio Ghibli's 15th anime film released on July 29, 2006. The film was co-written and directed by first-time director Gorô Miyazaki, son of the legendary Hayao Miyazaki. Tales from Earthsea is set in a world where the Balance of the land has been disrupted, bringing drought and pestilence. The film's lore establishes that dragons and men were once one species, until dragons chose freedom while men chose possessions. Dragons play a central role in the story's mythology, appearing as powerful omens and beings tied to the fundamental order of the world. The film explores themes of life, death, and the interconnectedness of all things, with the dragon Ryuu serving as a representation of the world's mystical and primordial forces. This Benelic figure captures the dragon's distinctive design as realized in the film, bringing the Ghibli animation to three-dimensional form.
