■NARUTO SHIPPUDEN VIBRATION STARS-KAKUZU ＆ PAIN-

The simplicity of the pose allows the finely crafted details to stand out all the more.
The black rods—Chakra Receivers—that serve as a clue to the true identity connecting the six Pains have been meticulously recreated. In addition to the ones on his face, the rods going down his arms can also be seen through the wide openings of his sleeves.
Pain's iconic Rinnegan have been faithfully sculpted, capturing one of his most defining traits.
Even the design of his necklace, invisible when viewing the figure straight on, has been faithfully recreated, adding yet another layer of craftsmanship to this high-fidelity figure.
Joining Pain in this highly anticipated lineup is Kakuzu!

Joining Pain in this highly anticipated lineup is Kakuzu!
Kakuzu prolonged his life for nearly 100 years by stealing the hearts of others via the forbidden jutsu, Jiongu.
His terrifying ability to wield all five chakra natures by implanting those stolen hearts into his body was shocking even to longtime Naruto fans.
Kakuzu now joins the lineup with an all-new figure.
The sinuous tendrils connecting his right arm to his body are sculpted with a frightening degree of fidelity, a testament to the realism of the VIBRATION STARS series.

This figure captures the moment of dread elicited by Kakuzu as he lunges forward, intent on stealing his opponent's heart.
With its intensity and presence, this figure instantly brings to mind his fierce battles with Shikamaru, Naruto, and the others.

From the side, the figure's sense of realism is pronounced even further.
As he utilizes Jiongu, Kakuzu's rope-like arm meshes seamlessly with the dramatic flow of his cloak, capturing a single, explosive moment in perfect clarity.

Zetsu makes his debut!
From his flytrap-like head to his inhuman, twisted pose, every detail serves to pronounce Zetsu's alien and enigmatic nature.
The plant-like elements, which earned him the nickname "Spiky Aloe Guy" from Naruto, stand out not just in size, but also in their vivid, slimy coloring, perfectly conveying Zetsu's unsettling biology!
Even the gently swaying sleeves, with no hands visible, are crafted to reflect the uniqueness of the character.

This figure combines his dynamic presence with soft, flowing lines.
Despite being a fixed-pose figure, it manages to convey Zetsu's uncanny movements, true to what fans expect from the lifelike VIBRATION STARS figure line.
But of course we're not just talking about the big picture here. Every detail has been carefully crafted and demands a closer look.
