The figure was made by Bandai Spirits and was published by Banpresto under the line of Ichiban Kuji. Ichiban Kuji translates to
Number one Lottery. So far this line is exclusive to Japan, thus making the rest of the world to rely on 3rd parties in order to purchase any items this might change one day.
Banpresto is publishing different Anime and Gaming related products every year specifically for this particular line.
As mentioned above this figure represents the series of kingdom hearts and it's release was announce alongside the announcement of the series latest entry
Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory which was released for every console in October 2020. Before proceeding to this particular figure
it should be mentioned that there were two figures. The first one, had the hero Sora with his Nobody Roxas, whilse the second one had the nobody Roxas, with his best friend
Axel, during his somebody form Lea.The figure comes in 5 seperated, pieces,

  1. Sora
  2. Roxas
  3. Sora's Keyblade
  4. Roxa's Keyblade
  5. Figure base
Sora is the main character of the series. He is the little boy from Destiny islands who began his journey early in 2002 and still going strong now by the end of 2020.
Sora is 16cm tall and he is wearing his clothing from the previous title: Kingdom Hearts III. From top to bottom Sora has his iconic spikey haircut that has multi layers to show and give depth to the figure.
it also combines two layers of the colour brown , darker from the inside and brighter towards the outside. His expression is fantastic. Bandai spirits paid alot of attention on making sure
that he was going to look kind and welcoming yet full of confidence in his own abilities. Since the figure comes with Roxas, Sora is placed in a way to look behind to his friend with a friendly smile.
The eyes are well designed with beautiful coloring. Standard with anime, his eyes are big with paint effes that create a sparkling illussion.On his neck he is wearing the chain of the crown he had from
the very beggining back in 2002, It's worth to mention that the chain has the marks of a chain and it's not just a silver line. As mentioned, he is wearing his new jacket, coloured to perfection. red, gold,
black, white and grey are combined beautyfully and resulting to this new look. The attention to detail is spectacular. From the pins, the pockets, the zipers all the way up to the red hoodie, everything
is painted and scuplted with one thing in mind. Making it a must have for collectors. I love the fact that they didn't make him very muscular but they did add details on his hands. Sora was never
skinny and he was never Muscular, he was in the inbetween. On his hands he is also wearing his new gloves which also have nice details on their form and coloring. On his right hand Sora is holding his iconic
Keyblade which can be added and remove at will. The pose of Sora is taken from KH III if the player stop moving Sora whilse he holds his keyblade. He simply balances it on his right shoulder.
The keyblade combines gold and silver and has an actual chain with the the mickey symbol at the end.( It represents the symbol of the kingdom key, there are multiple keys with multiple chains).
Similar to the older figure with king Mickey, the keyblade can be seperated, by removing the grap of the blade. Remove it, place the key between the heroes hand and add the chain/grab back
On the lower part Sora has his new trousers and shoes. A thing that is instantly noticable is the fact that he has multiple belts everywhere, gloves,trousers and shoes, this is due tp the fact that Sora
was designed from none other than Tetsuta Nomura himslef who is known for his character designs for Final fantasy vii,XV (and other final fantasy titles), kinggdom hearts and the world ends with you series
that being said it explains why his trousers are filled with belts and pockets. The coloring here is also simply amazing. As for the shoes, Sora was previously known as the banana shoes boy due to the fact that
he was wearing gigantic yellow shoes. Its nice to see that he has a more down to earth proportion for his shoes and its very good that they still have a yellow layer on them in respect to the original. Last but not least
the soles of the boots are detailed with their gaps and spikes.

picture of Roxas only The second character on the figure is Sora's nobody himself, Roxas and he is approximately 15 cm tall. Roxas, has two main apearances, his base white clothing and his more iconic Organization XIII robe.
Roxas also has a spikey haircut, smaller than Soras. His hair color is more towards the golden blond with various shadings. The amount of detail found in Roxas hair was beyond expectasion. The facial expression of
Roxas is also spectacular. His character used to be among the most tragick ones, since he is Sora's Nobody and in the universe of KH, a Nobody and a Somebody cannot co-exist. The facial expression of Roxas is that of
sadness as he looks above his right shoulder to look at Sora. Similar to Sora, the eyes have been done in a similar way but as mentioned the opposite expression. In terms of clothing, Roxas is dressed from top to bottom
in black. The top of Roxas is a long sleeved black coat. SInce the coat is made of leather, it is not as wavy as normal clothing, however in the arms,legs and armpits are more messy. The coat from top to bottom has a zipline
in the middle and it's zip is zipped in the upper half. Near the neck, theres two chains, the first is form shoulder to shoulder in order to keep the sides combined and two others that come out from each side of the hoodie
There is a windy effe that blows through his coat and makes it float behind him. The boots and gloves are both leather black. On his right hand, Roxas posses the same key blade : The kingdom Key and just like Sora's the buyer
will have to remove the back of the key in order to pass it through Roxas palm. The last part of the figure comes from the base. The base is aproximately 2 cm tall and it's completely filled with plenty of symbols regarding the series.
These symbols are:

Crown
A symbol that represents power,honor, victory and others. It appears alot as collectables, stickers and many other in game
Heart
The Heart is the one of the central plot elements and eponymous for the series title.It has a deeper meaning within the series.
