Kotobukiya announced that it will re-release its ARTFX J figures of Vash the Stampede and Nicholas D. Wolfwood from Trigun: Badlands Rumble in 2024. Pre-orders for both figures have also opened in Japan.
The 1/8 scale figures will be completely static with no movable parts. However, collectors can attach and remove the optional glasses on both figures. Vash will come with an additional figure of the mascot cat Kuroneko-sama. Meanwhile, Nicholas’ figure set will have a chibi caricature of the series creator Yasuhiro Nightow as a bonus item.

Residents of Japan can now place pre-orders on the Kotobukiya Online Shop. Each figure is priced at 16,500 yen (~$110). The buyers will have a guaranteed stock if they place orders on Vash’s figure by November 21, 2023, and Nicholas’ by December 19, 2023. Fans residing outside Japan will have to contact Kotobukiya’s official retailers in their respective countries to check the figures’ availability.
Kotobukiya originally released the Trigun: Badlands Rumble figures in 2013. This is not the first time the set has been re-released, as the company did one previously in 2019. It is also producing new figures of Vash the Stampede from the 2023 anime show Trigun Stampede, which will be available in 2024.
The re-released ARTFX J figure of Vash the Stampede will appear in May 2024, with Nicholas D. Wolfwood’s figure set to be available in June 2024. Both figures will take on Vash and Nicholas’ appearances in the 2010 movie Trigun: Badlands Rumble.
