Touken Ranbu: Taeyang Higekiri October 2017

Published on 07/16/2017 by Kat 8 Comments

ShareTweetPin

If you tend to get nosebleeds the instant a pretty boy is in sight then you’ll want to advert your eyes . . . or at least partially cover them with your fingers.

October 2017 the dreamy sword, Taeyang Higekiri, will pierce your heart with his boyish grin and hypnotic eyes.

The appearance of Higekiri marks the 2nd character released from the Touken Ranbu series of dolls by Groove Inc (1st Isul Yagen Toushirou).

It’s been 5 months since Isul Yagen Toushirou was announced, so I was beginning to think we wouldn’t see anymore dolls from this series.

I’m super happy to see that this isn’t the case.

Higekiri is a cutie!!!

 

Let’s Learn More About This Handsome Sword:

I’m a treasure of the Minamoto clan, Higekiri.

While being tested on a criminal’s neck, I cut off even his beard in a single blow, so I ended up with this name.

Be that as it may, names are relatively meaningless to me.Higekiri

Taeyang Higekiri

Where To Order

  • Ami Ami
  • Hobby Search
  • Premium Bandai (you’ll need a proxy service like From Japan)

Release Date: October 2017
Price: ¥26,000 about $231

It’s Opinion Time!

Umm well, I don’t know about you but I think I’m in love . . . what about you, has Higekiri stolen your heart?

If so, what do you love most about him?

If you’re not convince of Higekiri charm, what would you like to change?

And thanks to this unexpected release I’m sure the  question on everyone’s mind is, Who Can We Expect To See Next?!?!

Leave a comment below, so we can chat all about Higekiri!

      Hi there Seaweed!

      That’s a wonderful compliment to the designers.

      Out of all the Taeyangs made, you’re considering bringing Taeyang Higekiri home! 🙂

      Higekiri’s eyes are dreamy, they’re very captivating.

      Thanks for chatting with us about Taeyang Higekiri!

    Oh goodness!!! I’m late to this news but saw him when I was browsing P-bandai again! (At least I know not to order him from pbandai, since now many other hobby store have him listed! thankfully!)

    HE IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!??????????? The details on his costume are amazing! He is in fact one of my favorites after Yagen, and I have had a great time with Isul Yagen so far, but I’m worried because I know if Higekiri is released, there will be Hizamaru soon after. There should be! Those two are pair all the time and are brother swords, I really really can’t just get one and not the other! oh my wallet!!

    but he is truly, fine art!

    The styling and face makeup is just astounding! He’s so surreal, like angel.

      HiHi!

      Oooh I’m so excited for you Jet.

      I just love it when a series of dolls can stir up so much excitement within a community.

      It’s been awhile since I’ve seen such a positive reaction surrounding a release & it makes me anxious to see what dolls Groove Inc has lined up next.

      I have a feeling Groove will pump out a sea of beautiful boys for fans!

      Thanks for taking the time to chat with us about Taeyang Higekiri.

    Ordered. My obsession with Touken Ranbu is still going strong! I waiting to get my shelves up in my Craft Room so all my Pullip dolls can finally have a place to stay. I want my Yagen out of his holding cell so bad. 🙁

    I agree with Ternessa. I think I have two Taeyangs so far and this is my favorite ascetically.

      Hi Luna,

      Way to go on getting the 2nd Touken Ranbu character!!!

      Oh I like the statement about dolls being in a holding cell, so true and funny.

      Here’s to Yagen getting his freedom soon! 🙂

      Thanks for leaving a comment.

    He’s just beautiful! One of my favorite Taeyangs by a long shot. I just wish he weren’t so pricey! I splurged on Yagen, I love him, too but it really hurts the wallet! Still, I can’t wait to see what they come out with next in this line.

      Hey Ternessa,

      I love Taeyang’s tailored suite, he looks very suave 😀

      The designers did a spectacular job on this release.

      I agree, the prices are climbing.

      It’s a bit of a sticker shock especially because we’re used to seeing Pullips retailing for under $200.

      But I’m hoping the increase in price means the quality of the doll has improved.

      I’m surprised how each Touken Ranbu doll gets better and better.

      How will Groove top this release!?!

      I sure can’t wait for the next announcement either!

      Thanks for chatting with us about Taeyang Higekiri!
