Takara Tomy will release miniature figures of the Chainsaw Man characters looking sleepy. You’ll be able to find them in gacha machines across Japan from early May 2024, and each attempt will cost 400 JPY ($2.60). [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]
These figures are part of the Katazun Fig series, or Shoulder Lean. The idea is that they’re slightly tilted to the side, as if they’re about to rest their head on the person next to them as they fall asleep. Because of this, you could try and display all of these figures together to make a line of characters sleeping on each other. In total, Takara Tomy will release four sleepy Chainsaw Man figures as part of this collection. They’ll be Denji, Makima, Aki, and Power.
Chainsaw Man is an anime and manga series that started from 2018 and is still ongoing. MAPPA’s anime adaptation ran from October to December 2022. It follows Denji, a poor teenager working off his deceased father’s debt to the yakuza. When the yakuza try to kill him, Pochita, his pet and the Chainsaw Devil, forms a contract with him and turns him into a Devil-human hybrid that can turn into Chainsaw Man.
Chainsaw Man is readily available for streaming on services like Crunchyroll and Viz Media has licensed the manga for English readers. The Chainsaw Man figures will be available in gacha machines in Japan from May 2024.
