Description

Figurine in an illustrated box representing Nakoruru, an iconic character from the video game Samurai Spirits (Samurai Shodown), published by SNK. The original packaging is clearly visible in the photo, with a black and white graphic highlight of the figurine, a "Samurai Spirits" logo in the upper left, and the name "NAKORURU" printed vertically in black capital letters on a white background. The stylized bird, a symbol associated with the character, is also printed on the front. The box features Japanese inscriptions, including a bright red insert on the upper right and a band at the bottom with the Takara logo and the mention "Gameist".

The figurine visible in the packaging photo features a face with large eyes typical of the manga style, long, straight black hair, and traditional wide-sleeved attire, with white and dark elements. The design of the figurine, faithful to the aesthetic of the original character, shows particular attention to the details of the costume and the faithfulness of the face. The overall appearance evokes the quality of Takara productions from the early 1990s.

The graphic style of the box and the mention "©SNK 1993" as well as "TAKARA CO., LTD. 1993" clearly indicate an edition dating from the early 90s, the period of the first wave of popularity of the Samurai Spirits license. The rectangular presentation, sober color codes, and typical Japanese graphics of this era confirm the authenticity and origin of the product.

The front of the box does not have a transparent window, suggesting fully enclosed packaging. No accessories are visible from the outside. The whole is in good visual condition as seen in the photo, without tearing or major defects on the front, apart from slight wear on the upper left corner of the cardboard.

The Takara brand, clearly identified on the base of the box, is a recognized toy manufacturer in Japan, especially for its officially licensed figurines. The SNK logo, the historical publisher of Samurai Spirits, is also present, guaranteeing the official license of the product.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The overall condition of the box visible in the photo is good, with slight signs of wear on the corners.
