Rurouni Kenshin - Himura Kenshin - Pop Up Parade (Good Smile Company)Himura Kenshin · Good Smile Company

Good Smile Company's Pop Up Parade line features Himura Kenshin from the classic manga and anime series Rurouni Kenshin. The figure stands approximately 170mm tall and is made from ABS and PVC, priced at ¥3,900 with a release date of August 2021. Himura Kenshin is a former assassin known as Battousai the Manslayer who fought during the Bakumatsu, the turbulent end of Japan's Edo period. After the war, he vows never to kill again and wanders Japan as a rurouni, a wandering swordsman, carrying a sakabatou—a reverse-bladed sword. He settles at the Kamiya dojo where he meets Kaoru Kamiya and others, seeking redemption for his violent past. Kenshin's struggle between his pacifist ideals and the dangers that threaten those he loves forms the emotional core of the series created by Nobuhiro Watsuki. The Pop Up Parade line offers affordable, non-scale articulated figures with stands included. This Kenshin figure captures the iconic swordsman in his signature red hakama and cross-shaped scar.
