The GEM Series Gintama Sakata Gintoki ver. Benizakura 20th Anniversary figure of the main character, Gintama, is being re-released. Reservations are currently being accepted at Premium Bandai.
Gintama, written by Sorachi Hideaki, began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump issue No. 2 of 2004 (released on December 8, 2003) and concluded in June 2019. The manga has sold over 55 million copies in total, including digital editions, up to its 77th volume. Set in a fictional
Edo ruled by aliens known as “Amanto,” the story follows the sweet-toothed and reckless samurai Sakata Gintoki as he solves various cases brought to his general store, together with his friends Shinpachi and Kagura.
A TV anime series began broadcasting on TV Tokyo in April 2006, and the story, packed with hilarious gags, spectacular action, and human feelings and bonds, was well received. It was broadcast for 13 years with some hiatuses, and the series ended with the 367th episode on October 7, 2018.
In addition, the movie version of the anime was released in 2010 as “Gintama: The Movie – The New Benizakura Arc”, in 2013 as “Gintama: The Movie – The Final Chapter – Be Forever Yorozuya”, written by the original author Sorachi, and in 2021 as “Gintama: The Final”, a movie depicting the end of the original work. The first live-action movie was released in 2017, and the second sequel, “Gintama 2: Rules Are Made to Be Broken”, was released in 2018. Even after about 20 years since the start of serialization, it continues to grow into a beloved content that entertains many fans through various media mixes.
The cool figure of Gintama’s glorious protagonist, Gintoki Sakata, is now on sale again.
The gap between the funny faces he makes in comedy scenes and the serious expressions he makes in serious scenes is what makes Gintoki so appealing, but now he looks sharp and dignified. The figure is even cooler than ever.
Some parts can be replaced, allowing for bold changes in poses. As the name “ver. Benizakura” suggests, you can recreate the dual-wielding pose with “Tetsuko’s Sword” that appears in the “Benizakura” arc.
You’ll never get bored of looking at it, it looks good from any angle, and with its exposed chest and other features, this is a long-awaited decision for Gin-san fans. Try replacing the parts and enjoying it in your favorite poses.
