Today we are going to be guiding you through some of the best figures the series has produced.
5. Inuyasha Kotobukiya Sango Figure
Dashing onto our opening spot is the figure of the brave demon slayer, Sango. This figure of Sango was released in November 2005 by Kotobukiya. Itou Reiichi, the sculptor of the figure, decided to show Sango in a dynamic pose where she has taken an attack stance while clutching her signature weapon Hiraikotsu. Her cat-demon Kirara is of course right by her side. The Figure is 1/8 scale, 13 cm (5.11 inches) tall, is completely pre-painted and made of PVC and ABS. This rare figure of Sango can be a part of your collection for around 7,600 yen (~73 US dollars).
4. Inuyasha Figma Kagome Figure
The second figure on our list is of the shows main heroine Satsuki Higurashi. The figure was released in April 2010 by Max Factory. Kagome was sculpted by Asai (APSY) Masaki. The figure is a part of the renowned figma line and possesses its signature poseability. This completely pre-painted figure is made from ABS and PVC and it stands around 14 cm (5.51 inches) tall. As with all figma figures, the smooth poseable joints allow various scenes to be recreated. Kagome also comes with her bow and a special hand attachment for it and a quiver with six arrows.
