February 2005 - From The Fist of the North Star, one of the most action-packed manga and anime series ever, comes an awesome new figure, available exclusively in North America and Europe from Diamond Comic Distributors!

Considered to be one of the greatest anime series of all time, Fist of the North Star set a precedent for the action and martial arts anime to follow. It tells the story of a ruined Earth, filled with deadly toxins, radiated mutants, and death around every corner. Hope comes from the North Star, and the practitioner of Hokuto Shinken, Kenshiro. Martial arts madness ensues as Kenshiro must fight battle after battle to bring light to a world faded into darkness. Now, fans of the series can collect one of their favorite villains, with the Fist of the North Star 200X: Raoh Version 2 Deluxe Action Figure.

Imported from Japan, this repaint of Roah stands 8" tall, features multiple points of articulation, and includes variant hands for almost limitless posing possibilities. Sculpted for Kaiyodo by Tomohide Enoki, Raoh also includes a weapon, cloak, and helmet, to accurately portray the character as he is seen in the classic anime/manga. Scheduled to ship in July 2005, this is one figure that no fan of Fist of the North Star will want to be without.
