Pre-orders for Good Smile Company's Genji Figma starts from Oct. 4 to Nov. 16.

Fans of the massively popular team-based first-person shooter game can express their fandom even more by giving Figma Tracer a stealthy and ruthless partner. Figma Genji is the second "Overwatch" character to come out of Good Smile Company's Figma toy line.

Figma Tracer was released back in June and received lots of positive response both from fans of the game and toy collectors. The 155mm Figma Genji is constructed with painted ABS and PVC, so even if falls off the shelf or table, the figure will not break. Sculpted by Yagyuu Keita, the non-scale articulated figure will be sold for ¥7,222.

Known for their accurate articulated figure representation of characters from anime and video games, Good Smile Company did not skimp out in this toy figure. Figma Genji will appear in his default skin of cybernetic awesomeness. Like Tracer, the proportions of the figure are on point, with highly detailed surface sculpting. Parts separation and paint apps are decent looking as well.

Like most figures from the line, Figma Genji will come with a clear action base so that fans can make it mimic game version Genji's dynamic poses. Good Smile Company has posted a promotional video in their YouTube channel where you can see the figure's full display potential and an almost life-like iteration of Genji.

As for accessories, Figma Genji will come with different sets of hands for holding his katana, hands for holding and throwing his shurikens, closed fists, open splayed hands and ninja-meditation left hand. His two swords and shurikens are included in the kit. However, since Overwatch Genji is wearing a mask, the standard optional face parts included in most Figmas, will not be possible for Figma Genji.

The highly-articulated figure of the "Overwatch" character will be officially released on May 2018.
