Banpresto Adds Enjin and Riyo to Gachiakuta Vibration Stars Lineup
Banpresto has announced the upcoming release of two new figures from the gritty battle fantasy series Gachiakuta, expanding its dynamic “VIBRATION STARS” product line.
This action-oriented brand is renowned for capturing anime and manga characters in the heat of battle, a philosophy that fits perfectly with the high-octane combat of Kei Urana’s hit series.
Gachiakuta has garnered a dedicated following for its unique graffiti-inspired art style and its setting in the Abyss, a world where humanity’s trash is dumped and monsters roam.
The story revolves around “Cleaners,” individuals capable of drawing out the power of objects known as “Vital Instruments” (or Jinki) to exorcise these trash beasts.
The new wave features two of the most prominent members of the Cleaner organization, sculpted to reflect the sharp lines and baggy streetwear fashion that defines the series’ visual identity.
The first figure depicts Enjin, a senior member of the group, standing approximately 19cm tall.
He is sculpted in a low, crouched stance, emphasizing his combat readiness and stability.
His pose suggests he is about to strike with his Vital Instrument, the customized umbrella known as “Umbreaker,” showcasing the weight and power behind his fighting style.
Joining him is the energetic Riyo, standing at a slightly shorter height of approximately 16cm.
In contrast to Enjin’s grounded posture, Riyo is captured in a confident standing pose that highlights her brash personality.
She clutches her Vital Instrument, a pair of silver scissors called “The Ripper,” in her left hand, appearing ready to slice through enemies at a moment’s notice.
The figures are scheduled to debut in game centers across Japan on January 20, 2026.
International release via hobby goods retailers is expected to follow approximately two months after this initial Japanese launch.
While pricing may vary depending on the specific retailer and territory, these figures are expected to cost between $25 and $40 USD.
