Shopping Guide
From the Gashadepa series of capsule toys that don’t fit in normal gachapon comes a figure from the popular manga Hunter x Hunter. The world’s first 3D figure of Biscuit, teacher to main character Gon, in her true form has appeared.
This figure of Biscuit is the second in the series, and is preceded by a figure of the hero Gon forcing himself to grow.
Reservations began at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 17 on Premium Bandai, Bandai’s official shopping site. The price will be 3,240 yen.
What’s more, a third figure is currently in the works and will follow Gon and Biscuit’s true form.
Why do you hide such strength?!
In the manga Hunter x Hunter by Yoshihiro Togashi, Biscuit Krueger first appears on Greed Island and is the woman that becomes the main character, Gon’s, mentor.
At first glance, she has the appearance of a cute girl, but her true form is exceedingly ripped and so powerfully built that it is as if she is wearing body armor. In combat, this true strength is Biscuit’s trump card.
Because of such a shocking appearance, Biscuit herself is reluctant to expose this form. However, this time, Gashadepa has decided to present the world’s first figure version of her true form. The figure’s total height is about 135 millimeters and accurately represents Biscuit’s immense strength thanks to great attention to detail on her voluptuous body lines and musculature.
By the way, Gon, the first figure in the series, had a height of about 430 millimeters as well, but his hair alone is more than 300 millimeters tall. So when Gon and his mentor are placed side by side, Biscuit’s hulk-like figure stands out.
Also, considering that for Gon’s figure there were an unbelievable number of reservations in the blink of an eye as soon as pre-orders started, it would probably be good for those who want this Biscuit figure to order now. In addition, since the third figure is in development, it will be exciting to see which character will become a figure next.
On another note, due to back pain, creator Yoshihiro Togashi has been on a long hiatus since September. We hope that his condition improves as soon as possible and that the manga series starts back up, too.
