Kingdom Hearts II - Riku - Play Arts Kai (Square Enix)Riku · Square Enix

Square Enix's Play Arts Kai line features Riku from Kingdom Hearts II as a detailed action figure standing approximately 228mm tall. Constructed from ABS and PVC, this figure captures the complex character in his distinctive attire from the beloved Disney and Square Enix crossover RPG. In the Kingdom Hearts series, Riku is the childhood friend of protagonist Sora and Kairi on Destiny Islands. His desire to see other worlds leads to his corruption by the darkness, setting him on a path as an antagonist in the first game before beginning a long journey of redemption. By Kingdom Hearts II, Riku has sacrificed his physical form to help Sora, eventually regaining his appearance while wielding the Way to the Dawn keyblade. His character arc explores themes of guilt, atonement, and the balance between light and darkness, making him one of the most emotionally layered characters in the franchise. His relationship with Sora, strained by past betrayals but ultimately defined by deep loyalty, is central to the series' emotional core. The figure retailed at 12,000 JPY and features the detailed sculpting and articulation that the Play Arts Kai line is known for.
