Rimuru Tempest (Special Color ver.) — Banpresto figure

About this That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime figure

This is Rimuru Tempest (Special Color ver.), out of the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime roster, released under the Effectreme line. It stands about 8.7 in. Like the rest of the prize range it is a fixed pose, finished at the factory and shipped ready to stand — nothing to assemble beyond seating it on its base.

What the listing specifies

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

• Effectreme Rimuru Tempest - Special Color Ver.!
• Standing at Approx. 8.7", Rimuru is seen in their iconic pose

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 That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime shelf this is the 18th dearest of 48 Banpresto figures, and the shelf as a whole runs $12 to $65. 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.
