Revoltech Hokuto no Ken #08- Uighur

Cassandra, also known as the City of Wailing Demons, was a prison city for martial artists who were forced to forfeit their martial art secrets to Raoh. Raoh needs someone who can instill fear in the prisoners and no one can do this better than Uighur.

Out-of-the-box content. Uighur gets quite a number of accessories.


Front view of Uighur without the cape. Uighur was a giant among human. In the anime/manga, he was depicted as around 10 feet tall.

Close up on the face. The sculptor did a great job with the face. Looks really menacing and badass. =P


Uighur with the cape on. The cape consist of 3 different parts much like those on Raoh.



Uighur is the master of a whip-based Taishan fighting style.He can literally tear anyone to pieces using this technique.



His prowess with the whips is so great that Uighur can wield multiple whips. This was demonstrated when he used the "Thousand Streak Whip" on Kenshiro.


When the "Thousand Streak Whip" technique connects with an opponent, Uighur will perform his finishing move, in the form of a powerful shoulder tackle the "Tao of the Mongolian Champion".

Uighur is an iconic antagonist from Fist of the North Star. I am glad that Kaiyodo actually took the trouble of producing a figure of this character. My only complain about this product is the scale or the size of figure. It is not anime/manga accurate.
