■ About the Figure
Charizard is now available through the S.H.Figuarts brand. It inherited a highly maneuverable design from its predecessor, the D-Arts Charizard (released in April 2013), which allows fans to put it in all sorts of poses. The included effect parts have also been increased and improved, including fire parts which allow you to recreate the fire-type move Flare Blitz. Also included is an effect sheet for Seismic Toss, as well as a display based on the anime.
