FuRyu confirmed two of its July 2026 releases in Japan will involve a noodle stopper figure of the Demon Slayer Insect Hashira Shinobu Kocho and a replica of her Stinger Nichirin sword. Both are expected to release during the fifth week of July 2026, which starts on July 26, 2026. They will initially be available as arcade prizes, but we should see the figure everywhere at the very least since the company’s Mitsuri Kanroji, Nezuko Kamado, and Kyojuro Rengoku noodle stopper figures appeared worldwide via Amazon for $30-40 each.
Since this version of Shinobu is a noodle stopper figure, she’s depicted as sitting down. There’s no stand, and instead a person is expected to pose her sitting on the edge of a shelf or on top of something. She’s in her full Insect Hashira uniform. She’s also wielding her sword in her right hand.
Meanwhile, FuRyu’s replica of her Stinger blade is a rather basic version of her sword. It doesn’t come with a scabbard. There are no additional sound effects, like often found with the Proplica replicas.
Here’s how the FuRyu Demon Slayer Shinobu Kocho noodle stopper figure and Nichirin sword replica will look when after they’re released next month:
This happens ahead of an update to the most recent game based on the anime and manga series. Sega and Aniplex confirmed there will be a Switch 2 version of Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 2. That shows up in October 2026. If someone gets the version with the Infinity Castle Character Pass, they get a second version of Shinobu.
The Demon Slayer Shinobu Kocho noodle stopper figure and Stinger Nichirin blade sword replica from FuRyu will appear as Japanese arcade prizes starting the week of July 29, 2026. We should see the figure worldwide after that. The anime is streaming on services like Crunchyroll, and the manga is handled by Viz Media.
