Revoltech Hokuto no Ken #12 Thouther

Its been a while I have not write anything regarding my Revoltech collection. So here you go, an entry for Revoltech Thouther.

Thouther is the user of the free-form Nanto Ho-ouh Ken (South Dipper Phoenix Fist), the most powerful form of Nanto Seiken. He was an orphan who was raised by the previous Ho-ouh Ken successor, Ohgai who treated him as his own flesh and blood. During his final training session, Thouther unwillingly killed his sensei, who intentionally allowed himself to be killed by Thouther (for the there can be only 1 successor). Traumatized by the event, Thouther disavowed all feelings of love and compassion. After the Nuclear War, he takes on the title of Holy Emperor (Seitei) and enslaves children with his army in order to construct the Holy Cross Mausoleum. And he is the man who stand against Raoh's total domination. Kenshiro challenges Thouther, but his Hokuto Shinken techniques proves to be ineffective against him and is brutally defeated and captured. Kenshiro escapes and challenges Thouther again. This time, he learns the secret of Thouther's immunity (he has dextrocardia, affecting the locations of his pressure points), and is able to defeat him. Thouther uses his last breaths to reconcile with his emotions. (Quote: Wiki)


Out-of-the-box content of the figure.



Front view of the figure. I like the face sculpt a lot.



Rear view of the figure.



Thouther comes with a mask so you can have him wear it or hold it in his hand. The mask was sculpted in a way that it fits nicely on the face of the figure.


Thouther with spear.


Thouther with spear and mask. I love this pose.



Thouther is one cocky character.



Time for some action!


Time to die Sho!!! (You need to refer to the anime/manga to understand this.)



Nanto Ho-ouh Ken no Oogi! Tenshō Jūji Hō (Heaven-Soaring Cross Phoenix)!!!

Thouther is a memorable character and this figure did it justice but once again, it can use some extra accessories such as a cloak or another cannon fodder. I will be a very happy if Kaiyodo can even include a naked torso for the final battle between Kenshiro and Thouther.
