Ookami Shounen Ken - Chichi - Jack - Ken - Poppo (Toei Animation)Toei Animation

Toei Animation presents a unique figure set featuring Chichi, Jack, Ken, and Poppo from Ookami Shounen Ken (Wolf Boy Ken), crafted in ABS and soft vinyl at approximately 220mm. This collectible celebrates characters from what holds the historic distinction of being the very first anime series produced by Toei Animation, then known as Toei Doga. Wolf Boy Ken aired from November 1963 to August 1965, spanning 86 episodes on NET network. The story follows Ken, a young boy raised by wolves in a Himalayan jungle — a premise reminiscent of Mowgli's tale. When a meteor strikes the jungle, it triggers famine and forces the animals to relocate. Ken watches over two young wolf cubs, Chichi and Poppo, while navigating a complex relationship with Jack, a one-eyed wolf who initially resents Ken's human presence among them. Their dynamic shifts dramatically when Ken saves Jack's life, and Jack later reciprocates by saving Ken from a poisonous snake bite, forging a friendship that becomes central to the series as they team up to protect animals from predators and humans alike. The series was notable for its higher frame rate compared to contemporaneous anime and was sponsored by Morinaga Candy Company, marking an early example of corporate sponsorship in anime production.
