Kotobukiya Opens Pre-Orders for Yuri Sakazaki KOF XV Statue
Kotobukiya has officially opened pre-orders for a brand-new Yuri Sakazaki statue, inspired by her appearance in the fighting game The King of Fighters XV.
Fans of the popular fighting series and collectors alike will have the opportunity to add this impressive 21cm (approximately 8.3 inches), 1/7 scale statue to their collection. The release is anticipated for September 2026. Crafted from durable ABS and PVC plastics, the figure beautifully captures Yuri Sakazaki in a dynamic pose, showcasing her unique Kyokugenryu Karate style.
The statue is currently available for pre-order at a price of 19,800 Japanese yen. As a special incentive, customers who place their pre-order directly through Kotobukiya's official website will receive an exclusive bonus: an interchangeable head part for the statue.
Yuri Sakazaki, the daughter of Takuma and sister of Ryo, is renowned for her cheerful and fiercely independent spirit. As a skilled martial artist, she has ingeniously adapted the traditional Kyokugenryu Karate style to perfectly suit her physique and personality, developing her own distinctive techniques. Her natural aptitude for combat is truly remarkable; Yuri mastered the core principles of the style in under a year and possesses the ability to replicate opponents' moves simply by observing them. Despite her exceptional fighting prowess, she frequently challenges her family's expectations, determined to forge her own path. In her personal life, Yuri enjoys indulging in karaoke and experimenting with cooking, but she has a strong aversion to indecisive men and octopuses.
