■NARUTO SHIPPUDEN VIBRATION STARS -HIDAN-
We're starting off with everyone's favorite follower of the Way of Jashin: Hidan.
Even among the other Akatsuki members, Hidan had a huge impact on fans of the original series! It's only natural for him to stand in the spotlight for this project!
He's being released with two different variations!

In addition to the regular version of Hidan we have...
...his terrifying ritual mode that activates after he takes in his opponent's blood! Look forward to these two meticulously crafted variations!
A highlight of these figures is Hidan's signature three-bladed scythe.

The threatening aura and impact of the figures is even more pronounced from behind!
Plus, the wire that snakes its way out of Hidan's sleeve adds another layer of realism to his stance.
His expression and pose come together to perfectly capture the moment after his scythe returns to him, but before he launches his next attack.

His cold smile is on full display in the normal version of this figure...
...and he looks like a true grim reaper in his ritual mode!
Naturally, the ritual patterns that appear all over his body are meticulously painted onto the figure.
You'll want to get your hands on both of these variations!

■NARUTO SHIPPUDEN VIBRATION STARS -TOBI & KONAN-
As we've mentioned before, the goal of this project is to present a lineup that will make it easy for fans to put together a full roster of Akatsuki members.
Let's first take a look at Konan, who is being rereleased for this lineup.

The billowing cloak helps lend a sense of realism to her pose.
And although she's covered by her cloak, her delicate physique manages to shine through, adding a layer of depth to the figure.
Konan is a founding member of the Akatsuki, as well as the right-hand woman of its leader, Pain.
This figure showcases the powerful presence she naturally exudes, as expected of one taught by Jiraiya.

Of course, this is only possible thanks to the careful attention to detail paid to this figure.
Her sharp, shining eyes and collected expression as well as her iconic paper corsage have been intricately recreated.

In addition, Konan's signature Sacred Paper Emissary Jutsu has a high degree of fidelity thanks to the smoothness of its incorporation into her sleeve opening.
Konan's awe-inspiring determination is on full display as she wishes both for peace and to support her comrades in the Akatsuki.
However...
However...
"Do not mock Uchiha ocular powers, girlie!"
Stepping on Konan's wishes and working in secret behind the Akatsuki's back is the masked man, Tobi, who joins this lineup as a brand-new figure!
Just by adding a billowing cloak effect, this simple and straightforward pose manages to capture the ominous and mysterious atmosphere emblematic of Tobi.
Of course, careful attention was paid to the details for this figure as well.
With this realistic depiction of his signature mask, one can get a glimpse of his eye underneath... The casual reveal of his "Sharingan" serves as a big hint to his true identity!

Just a single glance tells you that he's the one pulling the strings in this story!
Many fans will surely feel a shiver run down their spine as they stare into this mask's abyss.
While the outfit and clothing are fairly straightforward, a lot of care was given to the Akatsuki ring along with other minute details such as the placement of his arms and angle of his fingers.
Get it and see for yourself!
That's all we have to say on the three characters featured this time!
Keep your eyes peeled for other BANPRESTO Akatsuki figures arriving from May to July!
In the next update, details on the remaining four Akatsuki members coming in July will be revealed!
