Premium Bandai unveiled two new Naruto Shippūden figures in MegaHouse's G.E.M. line on Sunday. The figures are inspired by traditional depictions of the Japanese god of wind Fūjin and god of lightning Raijin.
Naruto stands in for Fūjin, and Sasuke represents Raijin in the figure set. Naruto rides an orange cloud inspired by the nine-tailed fox Kurama, and Sasuke rides a purple cloud in the image of the chakra being Susanoo.
The set of two figures costs 19,008 yen (about US$167), and it will bundle a set of two mini colored paper boards with illustrations from Studio Pierrot. Premium Bandai and MegaHouse's Megatrea Shop are accepting preorders now. The figures are slated to ship at the end of September.
MegaHouse's G.E.M. line released Naruto and all of the tailed beasts as super-deformed figures last year. The line has also released sexy and Six Paths Sage Mode versions of Naruto.
