One of the Kotobukiya Collection 2023 [Winter] announcements involved an unpainted prototype of a new take on an old character. The company is working on a scale figure of Vash the Stampede from Trigun Stampede. It will be a part of the ARTFX J line. As it is still early in development, there’s no release date yet.
Here’s Kotobukiya’s English tweet announcing the figure, which also showed the unpainted concept. It will be a 1/8th scale one. The official announcement page noted that they wanted it to look as though Vash is in the middle of a fight against enemies, with his gun also on display. Also, to note his desire to protect, the figure’s base makes it look like there’s a town in the background.

As a reminder, Trigun Stampede is a reboot of the story and series. It features new character designs for characters like Vash. It is currently airing in Japan.
There’s no release date yet for the Trigun Stampede Vash the Stampede figure. Both Trigun and Trigun Stampede are streaming on Crunchyroll. Dark Horse handled the manga localizations.
