During the MegaHobby Plus May 2023 event, MegaHouse shared news about Bleach figures. It showed for the first time the painted prototypes for the Look Up series figures based on Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War’s Ichigo Kurosaki and Byakuya Kuchiki. In addition, the company announced the G.E.M. series figure of Gin Ichimaru will be returning in November 2023 in Japan.
These Look Up series figures show Ichigo and Byakuya both wearing their Shinigami uniforms and sitting with their hands on top of their knees. MegaHouse previously only showed unpainted versions of both. More details on each one’s price and release date will be confirmed at a later date. However, Look Up figures tend to cost ¥4,180/$30 each.
