There is a new figure in my collection rivaling my Yoko Littner as my favourite. One of the legendary Sannin, one of the pillars of the Naruto anime and manga series, the pervy sage himself Jiraiya.
The younger cooler Jiraiya
The Figuarts Zero Naruto Shippuden Jiraiya figure is a 205 mm pre-painted figure. It looks amazing right out of the box. It features a younger Jiraiya posing on one of his summoned toads with a cool smoke effect. I really love the coloring on this figure and with Gama’s head being semi-transparent it gives it a great look when lit from behind.
I have seen the other figures in the series that feature Sasuke, Naruto, and Tsunade but I didn’t really care for them. This Jiraiya version jumped out at me though and has been sitting in my cart for about a year while I saved enough to grab it. It really looks good from any angle.
The Jiraiya figure us huge
It is huge and dwarfs most of my other figures. He will be sitting on my desk at home next to Alphonse and his Nyaruto cats version as I occasionally shed a tear when I remember his heroic death and sacrifice in the Naruto manga and anime series.
