The figure will come with several alternate hand parts, and three head parts showing different facial expressions. It will also include a special effect part that the buyer can use to further emphasize Akira’s punches.
Sega previously revealed the Virtua Fighter Akira Yuki action figure in October 2021. With a price tag of 14,300 yen (~$125), it initially planned to open pre-orders for the figure in mid-December 2021.
