Not so much it being present but the absence of any reference to it's Fist of the NorthStar alternative in the title which is likely far more recognizable especially to this forum's majority of English language speakers.

There's a lot of people here that would recognize Fist of the NorthStar more than Hokuto No Ken.
Just seems to be thumbing the nose a bit to those that are more casually familiar with FOTNS than the hardcore.
Voltron is usually billed as Voltron here instead of BeastKingGoLion and Guyver's thread wasn't titled as Kyōshoku Sōkō Gaibā nor was Berserk's titled as Beruseruku.

That is all.

Excuse am Japanese Hokuto No Ken is real name not this Northstar non sense Wonderfest is Japanese convention and mostly majority is for Japanese.

I expected much more, that has been my mistake. The face does not convince me and I wanted something more bloody and violent. Very disappointed

They'll eventually do something bloody and violent I'm betting. Probably even a shirtless Kenshiro too! this is a good start and i'm going to do my part and support this line because I want to see them push more for other characters too. Hopefully they do some cool violent and bloody dioramas.

TO THE FORUM, CHIRLO!!!
This act of nonviolence threw many of us for a loop.

This violent version we are predicting could easily happen and I hope it does. I may hold off on my order of this first round in hopes that there will be blood. I would definitely drink that milkshake.

I want them to support this line like they do with Berserk.

To be honest, if this is $500-600 I am selling some statues just to own this. Quality Hokuto No ken Collectibles are rare in our niche little world.

I doubt its going to be $500-600 range, its probably going to be the same amount as the Berserk line. Which $800-$1100. The base doesn't do it for me at all & wont justify the price for it. I want a Raoh no matter how crappy the base will be.

I might just stick with the Tsume. Hopefully they do a Kenshiro too. Contemplating getting the Rei one.

Toki would be god like.

Prime 1 is my favorite company but i am not liking what they are doing with Hokuto No Ken. I mean where is the violence ?? They should probably have made 1/5 scale dynamic dioramas of this licence. I really don't think that the almost museum pose thing that they excel at is going to serve them well for this license.

You may not like the base but for us as japanese is extremely well thought and is base inside temple from the manga the two are japanese god. If you visit japan temple or even care you will understand. Why Kenshiro creator choose this theme base.
