Ahead of the new Ranma 1/2 anime adaptation, new Akane Tendo and Shampoo figures are in the works. Proof shared teaser images of both characters on social media.
Both the Ranma 1/2 Akane and Shampoo figures are early in development. As such, only unpainted prototypes of each one appeared. There are also no release windows for either one. However, both of them will be scale figures.
The Akane Ranma 1/2 figure appeared first, and it showed her with her short hair as she’s wearing a dress and sitting on a bench. It’s technically also a figure of Ryoga Hibiki, as he appears in his pig form sitting in a basket next to her.
The Shampoo Ranma 1/2 prototype appeared shortly after that. It features the character wearing a cheongsam and sitting in a tree while holding an umbrella. Unlike the Akane figure, there is no reference to any other member of the cast present.
The Ranma 1/2 anime remake is set to return on October 5, 2024 in Japan. Akane’s original voice actress Noriko Hidaka will return to play her. It is currently unknown if Shampoo’s original voice actress Rei Sakuma will return.
The Proof Ranma 1/2 Akane and Shampoo figures are in development.
