MEDICOS - FIST OF THE NORTH STAR - KENSHIRO (REINCARNATION VERSION)

"Wa-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!"

Okay, if you're a Fist of the North Star fan, then you get it.

It appears that Medicos is doing a second version of Kenshiro, this time it's a shirtless version of the main character, also known as the "reincarnation" version.

FotNS was one of my favorite anime from my youth, and I collected all of the Revoltech figures from the series. I do want the Medicos version of the figures as well, but man, I just can not get over those horrible shoulder joints.

If these were $50 dollar figures, it would bother me a lot less. I'd just pose them so the joint was as hidden as possible and then never think about it again. But, for over $100, we just shouldn't be getting a figure with this kind of major issue.

This version of Kenshiro will first be available at Wonder Fest 2022, a convention taking place in Japan. After that, the figure will become available on Medico's site starting on the 26th of this month. Although, they probably don't ship outside of Japan. While not confirmed yet, hopefully this figure will also be available in the US and other countries through the normal import channels, but that remains to be seen as of yet.

If you're interested in this one, keep an eye out on your favorite import sites an hopefully he'll pop up there around the end of the month.
