Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) Tanjiro Kamado — Banpresto figure

About this Demon Slayer figure

Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) Tanjiro Kamado is a Demon Slayer piece, released under the Vibration Stars line. Nothing about it is kit work: the pose was set at the factory, the paint went on there too, and the only thing left for an owner to do is seat it on the base.

What the listing specifies

Taken from the product listing, trimmed of the sales language:

• Official Product By Little Buddy / Banpresto

Looking after it

Sunlight is the enemy here. Pigments used on prize runs are not formulated for years of UV, and a figure parked on a bright windowsill shifts colour long before a shaded one does. A dry brush beats a duster: anything woven will snag a hair spike eventually.

Where this Banpresto figure sits in the hall

On the Demon Slayer shelf this is the 45th dearest of 49 Banpresto figures, and the shelf as a whole runs $12 to $109. For scale, the deepest shelf in the hall is Dragon Ball with 115 collectable figures on it; a Dragon Ball piece from the same line as this one is built to the same height and finish, which is the quickest way to judge a Banpresto format before committing to it.
