Rukia Kuchiki From Bleach Joins Melty Princess Figure Line

Yet another Bleach heroine is inspiring a figure, and this one is a MegaHouse Melty Princess one of Rukia Kuchiki. She will launch in May 2025 in Japan, though we don’t know when she’ll be available worldwide. She costs 8,800円 (~$58). 

Like other recent Bleach figures of characters like Toshiro Hitsugaya and Orihime Inoue, Rukia is based on her appearance in the recent Thousand-Year Blood War anime adaptation. This means her hair is slightly shorter than it was at the start of the series, she looks as though she’s grown up a bit more, and her uniform looks a bit different. She’ll stand (sit) at 85mm (3in) tall. Like other figures in the line, she’s about the right size to look like she could sit in a person’s hand.

Here’s a closer look at how this version of Rukia looks:

One of the last MegaHouse Bleach figures included one of Rangiku Matsumoto.

The Bleach Rukia Kuchiki Melty Princess figure will launch in Japan in May 2025. There’s no North America release window yet. Pre-orders are open until November 20, 2024. The Bleach anime, including Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, can be found on Disney+ and Hulu. Viz Media handles the manga outside of Japan.
