Kotobukiya will re-release its figure of Lio Fotia from Promare. It’ll cost 16,500 JPY ($107.75), and it’ll come out some time in October 2024. [Thanks, Figure Times!]
The Promare Lio figure from Kotobukiya first came out in October 2020. That was around less than a year after the movie’s initial release. The figure is available in the Kotobukiya Online Shop, which only offers delivery within Japan. Those outside of Japan may want to purchase it from stores like AmiAmi. Incidentally, you can save almost 3000 JPY if you order it from AmiAmi. It’s offering the figure for around 13,860 JPY, which is approximately $90.70.
The figure shows Lio holding his Burnish fire in his hand, with flames around his feet as the base as well. It’s a 1/7 scale figure and stands at approximately 247 millimeters tall. Because of the way that his hair is around his head, it can be a little hard to see his eyes. You might be able to adjust this based on how you position the figure in your display.
Promare came out in 2019, with Studio Trigger and XFLAG producing it. Hiroyuki Imaishi directed it. The movie focuses on Galo, a firefighter from Burning Rescue, and Lio, who is the leader of the Burnish terrorist group, Mad Burnish. Burnish are humans who developed pyrokinetic abilities after a mass spontaneous human combustion event, the Great World Blaze.
The Promare Lio Fotia figure re-release is open for pre-order and it’ll come out in October 2024.
