Ken Kaneki Joins Banpresto’s Grandista Line with Fearsome Presence!
Bandai Spirits’ prize figure brand Banpresto is unleashing a chilling new addition to the Grandista series—Ken Kaneki from the popular anime Tokyo Ghoul!
Scheduled for release in September 2025, this large-scale figure delivers terrifying realism at approximately 27 cm (Approximately 10.6 inches) tall, making it a centerpiece for any dark fantasy collection.
The Tragic Awakening of Tokyo’s Most Iconic Half-Ghoul 🦴👁
Tokyo Ghoul, created by Sui Ishida and serialized between 2011 and 2014 in Weekly Young Jump, was adapted into an anime by Studio Pierrot in 2014. The story follows Ken Kaneki, a normal college student who, after a tragic accident and a fateful surgery, awakens to find himself transformed into a “Ghoul”—a creature that must consume human flesh to survive.
This Grandista figure captures Kaneki’s haunting transformation from Tokyo Ghoul √A—after joining the organization Aogiri Tree to grow stronger and protect his friends.
🖤 Key Features:
✔ Powerful standing pose evoking Kaneki’s psychological transformation
✔ Finely sculpted black battle suit with realistic fabric folds and stretch marks
✔ Combination of matte and glossy paint textures to distinguish cloth and leather surfaces
✔ Trademark Ghoul mask with exposed fangs, perfectly capturing his menacing glare
✔ Accurate sculpting of Kaneki’s white hair and his glowing Kagune Eye (Kakugan)
✔ Folded hand pose, inspired by his duel with Jason, symbolizing inherited will and survival
From my experience collecting Grandista figures, their larger size really allows for finer details—especially facial features and clothing textures. This Kaneki feels especially intense, with the mask’s subtle grin and the chilling sharpness of his stance immediately setting a heavy atmosphere on the shelf.
Even just standing still, he feels alive—ready to unleash a violent explosion of strength if challenged.
