Ryomou Shimei from Ikki Tousen (Shunya Yamashita Version)

written on February 18, 2010 by Tier

The Ikki Tousen franchise is a licensing juggernaut, and with five Kanu Unchous in my collection, I am scarcely immune to its wiles. However, while the manga fields a bewilderingly large cast, for years my only non-Kanu figure was Griffon’s … Continue reading →
