'Yuria, even if the world crumbles, even if the heavens deny me, my fists will carve a path to you. I will not let anything stand in my way. Our love will transcend the chaos.''
Prime 1 Studio is proud to present, in commemoration of the series' 40th anniversary, one of Japan's most iconic manga couples. From the Ultimate Premium Masterline: it's UPMFOTNS-01 Kenshiro & Yuria 'Polar Star of Love' from Fist of the North Star.
Fist of the North Star, also known as Hokuto no Ken in Japan, is a classic manga series first published back in 1983 by writer Buronson and artist Tetsuo Hara. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where society has collapsed, and violence reigns. Early in the series, our protagonist Kenshiro finds himself separated from his beloved fiancée Yuria. He then embarks on a quest to rescue her from the clutches of evil. The artists at Prime 1 Studio have come together to put out a mesmerizing statue that perfectly depicts the depth of their love for each other, a love story that can be described as tragic and bittersweet, full of obstacles yet full of hope.
At almost 28 inches tall, one can easily recognize Kenshiro's muscular physique! Finally reunited with Yuria, after a long and arduous chase. He holds her firmly in his embrace and stands ready to face any opponent that may come as he flexes his large, V-shaped upper body. Determined to protect her with all his might, he clenches his fist firmly, displaying long veins along his right arm. His distinctive Big Dipper constellation scars can be seen on his well-developed upper chest. He bears an intense gaze as the fire in his heart burns bright in this dark world. The beautiful Yuria has her arm wrapped behind Kenshiro's neck, she has her eyes closed, fair skin, and soft pink lips, she remains just as gracious as ever. While still in a weakened state, her slender figure still embodies a delicate and refined demeanor, a true display of feminine beauty and elegance! Our skillful painters have done an outstanding job recreating the fading of her hair color from black to violet. The vivid contrast between the characters' blue and purple is painted with the utmost attention to detail as it perfectly portrays the way they were both masterfully drawn in the original manga while still giving them a breath of life through realistic texturization. The base features remnants of destroyed pillars as well as the head of one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Named by Tetsuo Hara himself, after the everlasting love between Ursa Major and Ursa Minor constellations, the UPMFOTNS-01 Kenshiro & Yuria 'Polar Star of Love' will be a fine addition to your collection. Whether you are a new or long-time fan of Fist of the North Star, order now in the name of unyielding love!
