Though some hardcore fans of the Pokemon series disliked various aspects of the latest entries, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield, the games still performed very well. In fact, Pokemon Sword and Shield sales were massive back in January just months after release, and sales for the two titles continue to pass milestones for the series.
Considering the popularity of the two entries, there has been a ton of merchandise created around many of the game’s iconic characters and creatures. Now, Good Smile Company, the distributers behind the popular Figma figurine series, has announced a Pokemon Sword and Shield figurine of Raihan, one of the game’s strongest gym leaders.
The Galar region of Pokemon Sword and Shield has tons of strong trainers for players to battle throughout their journey. However, few of those trainers live up to the challenge of Sword and Shield’s gym leaders, especially once player enter into the late-game and post-game content. The gym leaders of the Pokemon series always stand out among the rest, thanks to their relevance to the overall gameplay and their intricate designs.
The announcement comes by way of the official Good Smile Company’s Japanese Twitter account. The tweet shows a few photos of what consumers can expect from this new Raihan figma. Like the Pokemon Sword and Shield Gloria Figma figurine before it, the Raihan figurine comes with swappable face plates and accessories. The figma even comes with a figurine of Raihan’s signature Pokemon, Duraludon.
Duraludon is one of the most unique Dragon-type Pokemon out there, with an unusual typing and overall design. As one of the strongest Dragon-type Pokemon in the Galar region, it’s the perfect companion for Raihan and his team of heavy-hitting dragons. Unfortunately, consumers are going to have to wait quite a while for this Raihan figure to be released, as the official Good Smile Company website has its release slated for September 2021. Thankfully, the Good Smile Company ships internationally, so players outside of Japan won’t have to worry about missing out.
The Good Smile Company and Max Factory have made quite the reputation for their Figma figurine series. The figurines are known for their quality and high customizability. Figma has worked with Nintendo properties plenty of times in the past, creating some amazing figurines for plenty of popular Nintendo franchises. Figmas like the Fire Emblem: Three Houses Edelgard figure and the Twilight Princess Link figure really showcase just how much polish Max Factory puts into each piece. Hopefully, players look forward to snagging a Figma of one of the Galar region’s strongest trainers next year.
Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are available now exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
