Naruto fans will soon be able to relive one of Shippuden‘s most emotional and amazing arcs. A special figure featuring Naruto from the Sasuke Reunion Arc is now available for pre-order internationally.
The official Naruto website shared the news of the FiguartsZERO statue, titled “The Will to Hokage.” It depicts Naruto standing proudly with his arms crossed in front of the Hokage Monument in the background, perfectly capturing his appearance from both the anime and the manga. It is available for pre-order now for $74.99, with an expected shipping date of March 2027.
New Naruto FiguartsZERO Release Revisits One of Shippuden’s Most Iconic Arcs
The FiguartsZERO Naruto Shippuden figure by Bandai’s Tamashii Nations brings the legendary scene from the anime to life, incorporating the Hokage residence’s railing and the rock itself as a diorama with applied perspective. It sits at 9.40 inches (23.88 cm) tall and is made of plastic.
The figure comes as part of FiguartsZERO’s new STARtune line, which the official Naruto website describes as marking “the beginning of a collection that builds on FiguartsZERO’s cultivated expression, characterized by its precise sculpting, quality coloring, and world-building through stands and other elements.”
It goes on to say, “Each character’s iconic standing pose is framed in perspective through a vignette-style diorama that portrays the world around them.” Other debut STARtune figures currently available for pre-order include Dragon Ball Z‘s Son Goku and One Piece‘s Monkey D. Luffy.
Fans of Naruto will easily recognize the FiguartsZERO statue as being one of the pivotal moments in the series. The Sasuke Reunion Arc marked the first time that Naruto and Sakura saw Sasuke in Shippuden after he defected to Orochimaru.
The figure itself is based on the Weekly Shonen Jump 2007 Issue 11 cover, which sees Naruto standing proudly on the railing in front of the monument. The level of detail in the statue expertly captures details both big and small, from the faces on the Hokage monument down to Naruto’s headband blowing in the wind.
A New Naruto Show Will Debut Before the Release of FiguartsZERO’s New Statue
FiguartsZERO’s The Will to Hokage statue isn’t the only epic new Naruto release that’s already planned for 2027. New details emerged earlier this month about an all-new Japanese-UK production titled Naruto Ninja Show — a theatrical performance that will premiere in Kyoto and run from February through June. Yuuri Takahashi can be seen in a promotional poster for the production, with the role shared by Ryuma Aoi.
REI will star as Sasuke, with Yui Oikawa as Sakura and HIROMA playing Kakashi Hatake. The show will cover Naruto’s life growing up in the Hidden Leaf Village, from the “Childhood” arc of the series (Episodes 480-483 of Shippuden), and will be completely non-verbal, relying instead on “action, movement and body language.” More details are expected to emerge in the coming months ahead of the show’s debut.
The FiguartsZERO Naruto: Shippuden STARtune statue is available for pre-order now via Entertainment Earth and other official retailers.
