HEX Collectibles has unveiled a 1/6 scale Kenshiro statue in its Elite Dynamic Statue line, presented as a tribute to forty years of Fist of the North Star. The official visual and a presentation video are online, along with full specifications. No price or pre-order date has been announced so far.
Kenshiro among the ruins
The piece captures Kenshiro mid-action in an end-of-century setting. The base stages an overturned motorcycle in the rubble, with a mook crushed underneath the vehicle. At 42.7 cm wide and 31 cm deep for 43 cm in height, the composition spreads out across its base, a staging choice rather than a simple heroic pose, in keeping with the Elite Dynamic line.
The sculpture is credited to the HEX Collectibles in-house design and development team. The mix of materials (polystone for the main volumes, PU and PVC for the finer elements) is now standard at this format.

A counterpart to the 1/6 Raoh
This Kenshiro does not arrive alone. HEX Collectibles opened its Fist of the North Star line with a Raoh Elite Dynamic at the same scale, available for pre-order from the summer of 2024. The two pieces share line, scale and base format: the intent of a Raoh and Kenshiro diptych is hard to ignore, even if the manufacturer has not spelled it out.
That leaves the question that will decide everything for European collectors, the price and the shipping terms. We will come back to it as soon as HEX opens pre-orders.
