In 2007, in the wake of the new Shin Kyuseishu Densetsu films, Kaiyodo dedicated a series of premium busts to Hokuto Shinken and its four brothers. A more imposing, boxed variation of an aesthetic the studio also offered in gashapon format, these pieces emphasize the finesse of their sculpting and coloring.
Details
The Four Brothers of Hokuto
The series brings together the four disciples of Ryuken: Kenshiro, the successor of Hokuto Shinken, Raoh, the eldest and conqueror, as well as Toki and Jagi. Sculpted by Ken Matsuura, who also created the 1/6 scale busts and the series dedicated to the Nanto Rokuseiken, these painted polystone busts aim to faithfully reproduce Tetsuo Hara’s art style, in a format designed to display the brotherhood together on a single shelf.
A Display to Complete
Like the companion series dedicated to the Nanto Rokuseiken, this collection features a modular base: each bust comes with a fragment of the base, and by bringing all four brothers together, you assemble a complete display stand evoking the ruins of the end-of-century world. A gimmick that encourages completing the brotherhood to have all of Hokuto together in a single scene.
Specifications
Painted polystone busts, non-articulated finished products, each delivered with its base fragment. With their refined sculpting, these pieces offer a beautiful representation of the four brothers, in line with the Kaiyodo busts dedicated to the series, alongside the larger 1/6 scale versions and the later monumental models.
