HEX Collectibles has partnered with Sideshow to release a figure of Madara Uchiha from Naruto. This collectible, available for preorder, captures the character’s iconic red armor. It also features the powerful shinobi wielding a large sickle and the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. As of writing, there is yet to be a definite release or shipping date for the Madara Uchiha figure.
Standing at a towering height of over two feet, this remarkable statue comes with a hefty price tag of $805. Additionally, it has a limit of one purchase per person. HEX Collectibles will produce and ship only a total of 700 units of the Madara Uchiha statue, making it a highly coveted item among Naruto enthusiasts.
In addition to this Madara Uchiha figure, other notable developments are taking place within the Naruto franchise. Renowned mangaka Masashi Kishimoto has announced the release of a one-shot story about Minato Namikaze, the father of the series’ protagonist, Naruto. Fourth Hokage Minato emerged as the fans’ all-time favorite character in the NARUTOP99 popularity poll. The upcoming manga will delve into “the development of Minato’s technique,” offering fans a deeper insight into this beloved character’s background.
The Madara Uchiha Figure Is From the Naruto Series
Kishimoto’s Naruto was serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1999 to 2014. Overall it spans 72 volumes. It follows the journey of Naruto as he aspires to become the Hokage, the esteemed leader of his village. Currently, the series has over 250 million copies in circulation worldwide. With this, Naruto has secured its position as one of the best-selling manga series of all time. It is followed by classics like Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball, Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece, and Gosho Aoyama’s Case Closed.
Studio Pierrot, renowned for their work on Yu Yu Hakusho, adapted Kishimoto’s story into an anime series divided into two parts: Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. The anime originally aired from 2002 to 2017. In celebration of the anime’s 20th anniversary, four new episodes are set to premiere in September 2023, much to the delight of fans.
