This figure is of 1/8 scale size, sculpted by Moriwaki Naoto and released during the July of 2011. It coincided with the release of the “Battousai version” of Kenshin. This limited figure uses the same sculpt, however the kimono is colored blue instead of purple. Since this figure comes with 3 hair styles and 2 faces most of the photos will be taken with the face and hair style which was commonly used throughout Rurouni Kenshin. I admit that I haven’t read the manga nor have watched the anime in entirety. However I avidly viewed the Kyoto arc thinking that it was very engaging, with well developed characters and engaging fight scenes.
