“I’m Sure All Of Us Here Are A Little Crazy.”
This Kasuga Ichiban statue recreates the main character from the Like a Dragon series, known for his red suit and wild hairstyle. As a former member of the Arakawa Family, the iconic dragonfish tattoo on the character’s back secures his “The Rock Bottom Dragon” nickname, and he’s remained the ongoing face of the popular action-adventure beat ‘em up franchise for over 20 years.
This will be the third Yakuza-themed statue on offer from Digism Statues, joining the previously announced Majima Goro and Kiryu Kazuma statues that have already sold out during the initial pre-order wave. As a bonus, Entertainment Earth is also offering free shipping to any buyer in the USA who uses code WINTER79 at the checkout, and the retailer specializes in several other brands, including McFarlane Toys,Nendoroids, Banpresto products, and much more.
Using DIG’s digital modeling and printing technologies, Kasuga’s facial likeness comes to life in this detailed statue that stands approximately 6 ½ inches tall. Sporting his iconic red suit and trademark hairstyle, the statue also comes with Kasuga’s iconic weapon, the “Self Proclaimed Hero’s Bat,” as a replaceable part that changes the pose of the statue. The second pose on offer is a simple bat-free stance with Kasuga clenching his right fist instead, preparing for the turn-based combat the game is known for.
When Does The Like A Dragon Kasuga Ichiban Statue Release?
The Like a Dragon Kasuga Ichiban statue is scheduled to be released in November 2024, which is a significant 10-month wait, but well worth the waiting period and the price for the quality. This recently announced product is riding on the back of the hype around the imminent release of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and it’s the perfect statue to honor the face of the franchise.
