New Bleach Ichigo Kurosaki SH Figuarts Figure on the Way

Bandai and Tamashii Nations have revealed a brand new Bleach Ichigo Kurosaki SH Figuarts figure which is set to release in Japan in October 2024 for ¥ 9,900 (~$64 USD). The figure has also been announced for release worldwide, but no release date or pre-order information has been provided at the current time. The new Ichigo Kurosaki SH Figuarts figure is being referred to as his “Dual Zangetsu” version, which is based on his Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War appearance once Ichigo reforges his zanpakuto. When Ichigo reforges his zanpakuto, it reveals that his sword has become two halves of one whole. In this outfit, Ichigo wears a large red and white pauldron on his left shoulder and a smaller white pauldron on his right shoulder, creating an “X” across his chest, and around his waist is a torn white and black robe. The upcoming figure comes with 4 swords: Getsuga Tensho and Getsuga Jujisho unsheathed, and the both swords sheathed. Ichigo also comes with four different faces, six different hands for gripping the swords or different poses, and various attack effects. Ichigo can be posed into many different ways to replicate his attacks from the anime by utilizing the provided stand that comes with the figure.

The original Bleach anime series began airing in 2004 through to 2012 and received four feature-length animated films during its initial run. The anime returned after ten years with Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War in 2022, and the new season is scheduled to air sometime in 2024. The new Bleach Ichigo Kurosaki’s Dual Zangetsu SH Figuarts figure goes on sale in Japan on April 19, 2024, and releases October 2024 in Japan. Tamashii Nations stated that more information about the worldwide release will be revealed soon.
