First 4 Figures New Sculpt for Kiryu Statue. Gauging Interest With Facebook Poll! No Interest = No Statue so go Vote!

First 4 Figures are currently running a poll in the First 4 Figures Official Collectors Club facebook group to gauge interest in continuing forward with the Kazuma Kiryu statue. This may be the last time we get the chance for a Kiryu statue based on the response this poll receives.

No word on pricing yet but remember First 4 Figures statues are highly detailed and on the larger side so they’re a little more expensive than the usual figure but damn is it worth it for the extra mile they go to to make sure it’s perfect. Below you can see some clearer images of the sculpt render. There’s 2 versions full suit and shirtless and both look amazing but the detail on the dragon tattoo is just perfect!

Remember this is Kiryu from Yakuza 4 specifically so he’s a little less detailed than in 0 and 6 but in my opinion this looks AMAZING and will be grabbing it as soon as preorders go up!

So this is what it comes down to; If you would buy a high quality kazuma Kiryu statue go join the group and vote Yes.

See some higher quality renders of the sculpt after the jump!
