Highlighting the Strength Tsunade Exudes as Hokage
—Can you tell us a bit about the Prize C Tsunade figure?
Toothbrush: For Tsunade's figure, we really did our best to showcase both how beautiful and how cool she is.

Toothbrush: Viewed from the back, I wanted the figure to express the strength with which Tsunade leads the Hidden Leaf Village. At the same time, I wanted to make sure the figure did justice to her allure when viewed from the front.
Creating contrasting impressions with the front and back of the figure was very important to me.
People almost always display figures facing forwards, but I'd like to suggest that fans consider displaying this figure with her back to the room as well!

The Production Team's Obsessed with Summoned Animals?!
—The previous Naruto release, Ichiban Kuji NARUTO Shippuden Connecting Feelings, included cute Tailed Beast merch, but this time Prize E has some cute toad and Katsuyu goods! Is there someone in the production team who's fond of summoned animals?
Toothbrush: I think that'd probably be everyone on the Ichiban Kuji team. (laughs)
We all remember reading the series as it came out and waiting with bated breath to see what new creature would appear next, so summoned animals have a special place in our hearts.
I think it's likely they'll appear in future Ichiban Kuji lineups too, so keep an eye out!
—What summoned animals are the team's favorites?
Toothbrush: I think the most popular ones are probably Kakashi's eight ninja dogs! Pakkun leads the pack in terms of popularity, but they're all very well liked.

Toothbrush: Third Hokage Hiruzen's Monkey King Enma is also pretty popular. If I get the chance I'd like to include him in a lineup!
—Finally, do you have a message for all the fans out there pondering whether or not to buy the Ichiban Kuji NARUTO Shippuden Legendary Sannin tickets going on sale soon?
Toothbrush: We've put a lot of work into making Prizes A - G and the Final Prize as good as they can be! I hope you'll all buy tickets and get the chance to hold them in your own hands and admire them! The three Prize A - C figures were designed to show off each character's personality when viewed from behind as well so I hope you'll try displaying them at various angles!
