Karakui

We believe this is a first. The popular hobby series Nendoroid always has a lot of upcoming releases and fans of the series and of anime may have felt snubbed that only Miyazawa Fuuka (from the anime Aquatope on White Sand) was released instead of the Okinawan character Misakino Kukuru. So in Quarter 3 they will be releasing Kyan Reki (from the anime SK8 the Infinity) and in Quarter 4 they will be releasing Mugen (from the anime Samurai Champloo) — both are currently available for pre-order. We believe this is the first time we’re seeing Okinawan anime characters (and yes, we have a whole new post on anime and Okinawa in the works!) in Nendoroid form and it’s interesting as Samurai Champloo is like 19 years old (aired in 2004) while the SK8 anime is newer having debuted in 2021 but better late than never? So maybe picking up one or both of them is like owning a piece of hobby history but we’re hoping this is a sign of more to come. ❤️
