Tsume-Art, a company from Luxembourg that specializes in the production of high-quality statues themed with characters from Japanese anime, is well known for introducing their latest product from their "BIJUtsu" collection. This item is a 1/4 scale full-body statue of Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the first captain of the Gotei 13 from the BLEACH anime. It's called BIJUtsu - ZANPAKUTO COLLECTION and has a global limit of 600 pieces. The expected shipping date starts in the second quarter of 2025, and its suggested retail price is 749 Euros.
Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni is the founder of the Gotei 13 and has been called "the strongest shinigami in Soul Society". He is known for having the strongest and oldest zanpakuto, the Ryujin Jakka, which has the ability to conjure a powerful fire and destroy the surrounding area. The statue made by Tsume-Art is 54 cm tall and made from Polystone and metal materials. The statue shows Yamamoto holding his zanpakuto and surrounded by flames, reflecting his powerful appearance, as seen in his Zanpakuto technique "Sokan Taicho: Nishi: Zan Hi Goku".
The statue features details such as his forehead wound, sharp eyes, white beard blown by the wind, and his damaged shinigami outfit. The body of the statue is full of battle scars, showing intense training and wounds from war. Yamamoto's zanpakuto, on the other hand, is made of metal, with details that reflect Ryujin Jakka's powerful appearance, including markings on the blade that resemble fire stripes and a skull that emits energy from Sokan Taicho: Minami: Kasumi Yaku: Ju-Moku Katsu.
In addition to the impressive details of the statue, there is also an LED lighting function at its base that provides additional impact and boosts the visual appeal of the piece. If you order from the Tsume-Art website, you'll also get an extra head sculpt as a bonus (although the item is sold out on their website, you can find more at other stores).
