Amazing Yamaguchi Brings 1988 Ryu Hayabusa to Life in New Release

Kaiyodo has officially lifted the curtain on its newest entry in the Amazing Yamaguchi Revoltech line: Ryu Hayabusa, faithfully recreated from his iconic debut in the 1988 Ninja Gaiden (NES). The figure brings the legendary ninja back to life with meticulous sculpting, dynamic articulation, and a full arsenal of classic weapons.

The sculpt captures the texture of the original fabric-style ninja suit, complete with battle‑worn detailing and a fully articulated scarf that enhances motion in action poses. Thanks to Revoltech’s signature engineering, Ryu features movable shoulder blades, allowing his arms to swing naturally for dramatic sword‑wielding stances.

One standout feature is the movable eye mechanism, letting collectors adjust his intense gaze beneath the mask for expressive posing. The set includes the Dragon Sword with removable sheath, kunai, shuriken, and multiple hands—everything needed to recreate his most iconic moments.

Pre‑orders have opened in Japan, with the figure scheduled for release in December 2026.
