Alongside its large resin statues, SpiceSeed offers Hokuto no Ken heroes in deformed versions through its SSD line. These smaller pieces are made of soft PVC, a material the studio reserves for this range, and come in header bags or blister boxes. They rank among the most sought-after deformed figures in the franchise.

A line apart
SSD does not follow the rules of the rest of the catalog. Where the large pieces are resin, cost tens of thousands of yen and ship ten months after ordering, the deformed figures stand around ten centimetres tall, cost between 3,980 and 19,800 yen and ship in one to six months. They even fall under a separate licence registration, approval GK-808, while the resin statues carry GW-908.
One more difference, and a notable one: no SSD product listing publishes a sculptor credit, whereas the studio systematically names Matsuura Ken on its large pieces. Nothing therefore allows this range to be attributed to him.
The unpainted figures of 2018
The line opened in late November 2018 with three characters supplied unpainted, molded in color, each available in five finishes: translucent blue, orange and red, black and glow-in-the-dark.

The painted versions
The same characters returned painted, individually or as a boxed set, then in Battle Damage versions reproducing the wounds of combat. The studio warns that since those marks are applied by hand, every unit differs from the photograph.

The supporting cast
This is where the range becomes singular. SpiceSeed produces in deformed form figures no one else has ever made: a trio of henchmen, Zeed, the waste disposal attendant and a Kenoh army soldier, sold only as a set, along with the memorable Dekai Babā.

Raoh and Kokuoh in deformed form
The most ambitious piece in the line takes up the studio’s signature motif in miniature, Raoh on his steed. It is the only SSD supplied in a blister box rather than a bag, and the only one with a six-month lead time.
