It seems Bandai Namco will be adding Hunter x Hunter figures of Gon Freecss and Killua Zoldyck to its SH Figuarts line. The company announced a program that seems like it will reveal both. It will only appear in Japanese on YouTube at 9:30am JST on December 4, 2024, which is 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET on December 3, 2024.
At the moment, the announcement only features silhouettes of both of the Hunter x Hunter SH Figuarts figures, but the two shadows are clearly Gon and Killua. Both of their hairstyles are very distinctive. It appears they will be in their standard attire, as we can see Gon is wearing a long-sleeved outfit and Killua has a short-sleeved shirt over a longer top. The description for the video also features both Japanese and English text, suggesting the sort of worldwide release typical for SH Figuarts items.
Here’s the placeholder for the upcoming stream on YouTube:
There are currently no Hunter x Hunter SH Figuarts figures, so Gon and Killua will be the first. Many Shonen Jump series are a part of the line, such as Bleach, Chainsaw Man, Demon Slayer, Dragon Ball, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Naruto. Recently, Dan Da Dan characters were confirmed as well.
The Hunter x Hunter manga has been updating at a more regular pace, following Yoshihiro Togashi’s health issues. There was nearly a two year gap between chapters 400 and 401 as a result. Since then, the schedule is back to a weekly pace. Chapter 409 appeared on December 1, 2024, and chapter 410 is expected on December 8, 2024.
The Hunter x Hunter manga is available via Viz Media in Japan. The two SH Figuarts figures based on the series will be revealed on December 3, 2024.
