This Nendoroid shows Atsushi in his usual outfit which is a white shirt with black suspenders and pants and shoes. His belt is loose and sculpted in a way that it seems like a tail to infer his ability to change into a tiger. He wears fingerless gloves to complete his outfit and on his black tie are two tie pins, one red and the other blue to recreate his attire. Three different face plates come with this figure, one is a normal happy expression where his purple and yellow eyes look straight ahead with his mouth slightly curved upwards. Another expression shows Atsushi blushing with his mouth wide open as though he were in extreme happiness. The last expression is a deadpan expression he would sometimes show when he can't understand Osamu Dazai’s actions. There are also extra optional features to add to the variety of poses, there are the chopsticks and ochazuke as well as alternate tiger arms to show off Atsushi's supernatural powers.
