Banpresto's Ichiban Kuji Premium release of Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade from Kizumonogatari presents the 10 Year Old ver. in a compact 140 mm form, yet with a commanding presence. The sculpture captures a graceful, poised silhouette with long, silvery-white hair flowing behind and framing a pale, refined visage. The outfit is dark with red accents, featuring carefully rendered folds and a sense of movement that suggests a moment frozen in time. Subtle shading and highlights emphasize the figure’s elegant lines, the texture of the fabric, and the intricate detailing around the waist and sleeves. A stylized base grounds the piece with motifs from the series, enhancing its collectible appeal and display presence.

Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade is the ancient, immensely powerful vampire at the core of the Monogatari saga. She embodies both regality and danger, a figure whose presence can alter destinies simply by existing. In Kizumonogatari, she seeks to restore her power by feeding on the life force of others, which leads to a complex bond with Araragi Koyomi, who commits acts of sacrifice and friendship that blur the lines between predator and protector. The dynamic between vulnerability and overwhelming strength defines her character, as she navigates loyalty, desire, and survival. The 10 Year Old ver. offered in this figure suggests a younger facet of her identity, hinting at innocence that belies her enduring hunger and ambition, and reminding fans of the spectrum of her timeless character.
