Ryu Hayabusa from "NINJA GAIDEN" joins the Amazing Yamaguchi series! Featuring weapons that cut through evil and a sharp gaze expressed through movable eyeballs! From the high-speed ninja action game series "NINJA GAIDEN" by Koei Tecmo Games, Ryu Hayabusa, the modern-day ninja carrying the blood of the Dragon Lineage, arrives in the Amazing Yamaguchi lineup! Since his debut in the 1988 2D action games "Ninja Gaiden" for arcade and Famicom, he has appeared in hit titles such as the "DEAD OR ALIVE" and "Warriors Orochi" series, making him a hero Koei Tecmo Games is proud to share with the world. In the Amazing Yamaguchi series, he is sculpted in his modern ninja suit style from his starring title, "NINJA GAIDEN 2". The proportions with bulging muscles and the details evoking high-tech materials have been sculpted with the same precision seen in the game. The set includes a wealth of weapons used in the game, such as the "Dragon Sword," a demon-slaying blade that can be drawn from the scabbard on his back, as well as the "Kusari-gama," "Shuriken," and "Falcon's Talons." In addition to the articulation devised by Katsuhisa Yamaguchi—such as shoulder movement via side-chest splitting and added joints in the shins to express "flexibility"—the set includes a ninja-appropriate selection of hand parts, such as weapon-specific grips and hand signs, allowing you to recreate various ninja action poses!
The eyes glaring sharply from beneath the mask can be adjusted using the eyeball movement gimmick. The muffler, sculpted as if blowing in the wind, also features a joint at the base, allowing you to make your action poses look even cooler!
The "Falcon's Talons," which equip sharp blades to the hands and feet to shred enemies, are recreated by swapping arm and leg parts. This weapon significantly changes his silhouette and fighting style, further expanding the range of action!
