About this figure
Identifying the sculpt is straightforward once you know what to look for: standing, arms out to sides with open palms, bald head, open shouting mouth, muscular bare torso, cape behind shoulders, round belt buckle, briefs, bare legs. Like every genuine figure in the line, originals carry the “Y/S·N·T” foot stamp — a soft or missing stamp is the quickest way to spot a reproduction.
Tenjokai Chojin no Kami is documented in 5 of the ten production colors (Flesh, Purple, Dark Blue, Green, Magenta). The flesh version books around $26 in mint condition, while the magenta run is the toughest to find and trades closer to $46. As a Class A rare it anchors many want lists — mint examples move quickly when they surface.
