The latest video in Masahiro Sakurai’s video series is a show-and-tell episode showing rare items he’s acquired over the years. One of the more notable items was a Kid Icarus figure of Pit and Palutena based on their Uprising appearances. He noted “only about three of these exist.”
The Kid Icarus: Uprising Pit and Palutena figure comes up at the 1:12 mark of the Masahiro Sakurai video below. He noted it is based on the 3D printed model of the two characters used for a Goshogawara Tachineputa parade held in Aomori, Japan in 2011. That float was 10 meters tall. Sakurai and the float designer are two of the only people to own one.
Masahiro Sakurai has spoken about Kid Icarus: Uprising in his videos before. For example, back in July 2023 he noted he’d love to play the 3DS game on a bigger screen.
As for other items in the video, Sakurai also showed a Wii Remote with a Mii of him engraved into the back, some autographs he’d collected, a Sega Associate Planner Certificate No. 004 he won, and an Xbox 360 Elite with his name engraved on it.
Kid Icarus: Uprising is available on the Nintendo 3DS.
