Bleach is an anime series adapted from the manga of the same name by author Tite Kubo. The anime rose quickly to popularity in Japan after it was aired in 2004, and achieved international fame after several worldwide releases in 2006. Along with a range of games and other derivative goods, Bleach figures were soon sought-after by die-hard fans. Popular figure choices include the anime’s two main characters, Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki and are invaluable for the series fans. Currently there are a variety of figure lineups and series, such as the Ichigo Nedoroid, which features Ichigo in his usual confident pose and the Rukia figure which can be highly customized and can actually hold a model sword in her hands. There are also figure sets of characters that include several characters such as the Ichigo + Rukia in Chimi-Mega style. Here are a few samples of Bleach figures that have been released and popular picks by fans.

About Bleach

Bleach is an anime series produced by Studio Pierrot, based on the manga by the same name. The manga was an instant hit and is still acclaimed by its outstanding art style and complex plot. The manga is written and illustrated by author Tite Kubo. The plot follows main character Ichigo Kurosaki, who’s family is attacked by a powerful Hollow, an evil spirit. Rukia is a Shinigami whose duty is to defeat the Hollow. However, it proves to be too difficult for her and Ichigo steps in. Moved, Rukia allows Ichigo to absorb some of her power and transform into a Shinigami. Having been severely injured, Rukia is unable to carry on her duties while she recuperates and so Ichigo has to take up her duties, becoming a substitute Shinigami.

The relationship between Ichigo and Rukia is the most important in the series.
