Kimetsu no Yaiba Kyojuro Rengoku - Together with the previously released Tanjiro Kamado.

Together with the previously released Tanjiro Kamado.

Following Tanjiro Kamado, Kyojuro Rengoku from Demon Slayer has now made his appearance as a plastic model. As the true main character (!!) of the Mugen Train arc — which holds the all-time box office record for Japanese animation — I personally saw it in theaters multiple times. Rengoku-sama was truly a legendary character that fills your heart with something grand.

The overall composition is Tanjiro Kamadosimilar, but with noticeably more pre-painted parts overall. Given how flashy his color scheme is, the face, hair, cloak, and blade all come with paint applied. The body and feet rely heavily on stickers, and quite a few of them are a bit tricky to apply, so some people might find that a bit of a hassle. Still, once you're done, you've got a figure model kit that really nails the character's official colors.

Since this is a statue kit with absolutely no articulation, this review is really just about taking in the overall look through photos from various angles. Personally, I feel the face sculpt is a little lacking, but I was still thrilled to be able to build Rengoku-sama as a plastic model. Either way, if you're a Demon Slayer fan, "Kyojuro Rengoku" — that name alone — makes this kit well worth picking up. :-)
