I realize that I need to write more to make up for being lazy last month. So without further delay, Revoltech Shew from Hokuto no Ken.
Shew is the successor of the "South Star White Heron Fist" style, which specializes in the usage of kicks. He represents the Star of Benevolence as well as a friend of Rei. Shew was once Souther's second-in-command until he met a young Kenshiro. He challenged and defeated Ken, but forfeit his eyesight in exchange so that Kenshiro's life would be spared. After the Nuclear War, Shu leads a resistance movement against Souther and his empire and is reunited with the now adult Kenshiro. Shu eventually surrenders himself to Souther in order to save his villagers and is forced to carry the apex that will complete Souther's Holy Cross Mausoleum. Before being crushed to death, Shu miraculously recovers his eyesight and is able to see Kenshiro for the last time.

Out-of-box content of Shew. Sadly, it comes with only a few accessories.
Well I guess the great workmanship on the figure makes up for the lack of accessories.
Known as the "Blind Warrior". Shew sacrifice his sight to save the young Kenshiro.
The back view of the figure. Some area such as the loin cloth is exactly the same with the one on Toki. Same on you Kaiyodo!
And now some action pose!
Shew used this chain-mace to test Kenshiro. Unsurprisingly, it proves inadequate to the successor of Hokuto Shin Ken.
We will have to settle this using our fist.
Or in my case, using my legs!
Shew is another one of my favourite character but unfortunately, he has to be killed off in order for the story to progress. And as for this figure, the workmanship is top notch but Kaiyodo should really address the issue of the lack of accessories.
