[Product Introduction] Hot Toys' "Comic Masterpiece" series welcomes the immortal masterpiece "City Hunter," which has had a tremendous influence on the Japanese manga world. As the first release, Hot Toys has meticulously recreated the full appearance of Ryo Saeba, the highly skilled sweeper who loves beautiful women. "City Hunter" by Tsukasa Hojo is a hard-boiled comedy manga that was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" from 1985 to 1991. It has been adapted into a TV anime and a movie, and a live-action drama is currently being produced in South Korea, making it a highly popular work both domestically and internationally. Ryo Saeba, the City Hunter, takes on dark cases that cannot be judged by law and solves various incidents. He is usually an unparalleled pervert and womanizer, but his skills are number one in the underworld, and he has superhuman marksmanship. "XYZ" written on the message board at the east exit of Shinjuku Station is a message requesting him to do a job. Standing approximately 30 centimeters tall and featuring over 30 points of articulation, this figure perfectly captures the charm of Ryo Saeba, a strong yet gentle urban warrior and playboy. Two heads are included: the first depicts the cool Ryo as a sweeper, eliminating bad guys; the second is a bulging-faced head that recreates Ryo-chan, the stud of Shinjuku. Each head is hand-painted to recreate Ryo's captivating expressions. The costume is faithfully reproduced down to the silhouette, and comes with a light blue jacket and a long coat for changing. Thanks to Hot Toys' expertise in military items, the weaponry, including his beloved Colt Python .357 Magnum that can be stored in a shoulder holster and his M1 carbine rifle for sniping, is also faithfully reproduced down to the smallest detail. Accessories include Saeko's lace bra to enhance the "bulging-faced Ryo-chan" look, and interchangeable hand parts for poses such as the "IPPATSU" pose. It's great that you can portray not only the heroic Ryo Saeba but also his more comical side! Hot Toys presents this rare, high-end 3D rendition of Ryo Saeba, a tribute to City Hunter. Get him along with the simultaneously announced beautiful female detective, Saeko Nogami, and enjoy the captivating world of the masterpiece City Hunter! *This item will only be released in Japan and Hong Kong. Available for sale in Japan and Hong Kong only.
