Tamashii Nations revealed an SH Figuarts figure of Gintoki Sakata from Gintama. It’ll come out in May 2025, and more information on pre-orders will come out later.
If you go to the Tamashii Nations 2024 exhibition, you’ll be able to see a prototype of the Gintoki figure. The show will run from November 15 to 17, 2024. Considering the figure has been painted already, it’s possible that pre-orders will open up very soon. For now, the figure isn’t available on the website just yet.
From what we can see of the picture on Tamashii Nations’s website, the Gintoki figure can look both cool and silly, much like the character himself. Since this is a Figuarts figure, you can pose him and one of the parts you can give him is his wooden sword. Some of the comments hope that you can make him do the Kamehameha pose, which is a reference to how many times Gintoki tries to pull off the attack in the series. Since it seems like you can put his arm through his left sleeve, it might be possible.
While Tamashii Nations did not mention it, this figure might be part of the ongoing promotion for the 20th anniversary of Gintama. There have been multiple events and campaigns, such as an exhibition and a new popularity poll. Though the original Gintama already ended, the spin-off 3-Nen Z-Gumi Ginpachi-Sensei will air in October 2025.
The Gintama Gintoki Sakata figure from Tamashii Nations will open up for pre-order some time soon.
