Japanese manufacturer Jamil (株式会社ジャミール) produces a line of collectible statues called the Kiwami Series (極シリーズ). Dedicated to Souten no Ken, the piece was only revealed as an unpainted prototype during a booth presentation where it was listed as “in production.”
Created under the supervision of Tetsuo Hara, the statue depicts the sixty-second successor of Hokuto Shinken in a fighting stance, wearing his long outfit with drapery adorned with dragon motifs. Its release was announced for winter 2018.

A piece that never went beyond the project stage
To this day, the only known visual of this statue remains its unpainted gray prototype. No painted version or commercially available copy has ever surfaced. Several years after the announcement, collectors still noted the complete absence of any information from the manufacturer, which never communicated about a commercial release.
This prolonged silence, despite the project having received Tetsuo Hara’s approval, makes this statue a curiosity for enthusiasts: a piece that was announced, supervised, and presented as a prototype, but that most likely never progressed beyond that stage.
