PROOF Presents 1/7 Scale Sesshomaru – Inuyasha’s Stoic Brother in a Bamboo Battlefield
For collectors of classic anime figures, the latest reveal from PROOF is nothing short of stunning. Set to release in January 2026, the newly announced 1/7 scale painted figure of Sesshomaru from Inuyasha brings the elegance and cold might of the daiyōkai to life. With a retail price of ¥41,800 (approximately $270 USD), this release isn’t just a tribute—it’s a centerpiece.
Having followed Inuyasha since its early 2000s heyday, Sesshomaru’s calm brutality and silent charisma always struck me as one of the show’s most compelling contrasts. This figure encapsulates that exact balance of lethal grace and nobility.
About Sesshomaru: The Demon Prince of the West
Sesshomaru is the older half-brother of Inuyasha, born of the same great demon father but from a full-blooded demon lineage. Proud, silent, and unfazed by most conflicts, he is initially portrayed as an antagonist but evolves into a powerful yet enigmatic ally. His complex relationship with Rin and his transformation from a ruthless warrior to a more human figure make him a fan-favorite—and a fascinating character to recreate in figure form.
Figure Overview and Aesthetics
This 1/7 scale figure stands approximately 35 cm (around 13.8 inches) tall and features Sesshomaru mid-step, sword in hand, set within a highly detailed bamboo forest diorama base. He wields Tenseiga, and an optional part allows a swap to Tokijin (Tōkijin), capturing his varied weapon mastery from different arcs of the story.
From my experience with premium-scale figures, few do dynamic posing this well. The flow of Sesshomaru’s white and red kimono, the sculpted fur pelt, and the wind-swept strands of silver hair give a sense of movement that’s often hard to achieve in solid form. It’s a pose that feels like a frame pulled straight from the anime.
The delicate shading on the outfit’s folds, the lifelike texture on the fur pelt, and the diorama-style bamboo base all show that PROOF spared no detail in this release. The optional interchangeable left arm and weapon accessory adds display flexibility, perfect for collectors wanting to pose him either as the poised protector or the ready-to-strike warrior.
