I think it still looks pretty damn awesome, and if you're fan I don't think you're ever going to get anything better then this. But yeah the face could have been done better. If Outlaw Star gut this treatment I'd be all over it even if Gene's face was a bit off as long as it didn't completely suck. If I had options then probably not, though for something like this even having an option in the first place is pretty lucky for a diehard fan ;p

It's not awful...it's just not what I want. Like a lot of Prime's anime licenses, they're more recent in their inspiration. I'd prefer a more classic visage.

Don't know why they couldn't have produced multiple likenesses...

Is it me or does the face look better in the pics than it does ont he art box? Less shading, more anime like?

The face put me off but i love how it looks on the in hand pics....might be a case of less paint work works better for me, once i see more in hand pics and if the face is more to my liking i'm picking him up.

Why haven't they made extra heads? It does not convince me, I do not see it exact to the manga. How many possibilities are there to see a Toki or a Rei? Any?

If he doesn't sell well then the possibility goes down dramatically

I think he looks exactly like he does in some of the manga




Unfortunately it's not really the face people know and love :<

I wonder if Tsume will ever make a 1/4 Kenshiro or put up the 1/4 Raoh.

That Raoh would be majestic.
Unfortunately, they posted that image 2 and a half years ago. I wish it became a reality.
Kenshiro and Toki would still be missing.

Hi guys, first post. I collect Batman mainly but I liked Hokuto no Ken when I was young, so I bought the normal version and have received it today.

I must say I am rather disappointed with the statue. I mean It isn't bad, but not quite the Prime 1 quality I was expecting.

The head sculpt lacks details, the lip has almost no color and the skin tone is so pale that you would think he has anemia.

The pose is fine, I liked this pose more than the you're already dead version.

But if I had to choose again, is probably still buy, since there isn't much big Hokuto no Ken statues.

Photos were shot with a cellphone, natural light.
