Black ★ Rock Shooter - 1/8 - Black Blade ver. (Good Smile Company)Black ★ Rock Shooter · Good Smile Company

Good Smile Company's 1/8 scale Black Rock Shooter in the Black Blade version captures the iconic character in one of her most recognizable forms. The figure showcases the mysterious gun-and-sword-wielding girl who became a phenomenon in the figure collecting world. Black Rock Shooter originated as a single illustration by artist Ryohei Fuke, also known as Huke, before expanding into an OVA, anime series, and video game. The character exists in a surreal alternate world where she battles against other otherworldly counterparts, each representing the emotional struggles of girls in the real world. The Black Blade version specifically depicts her armed with her signature black blade weapon, emphasizing the combat-oriented nature of her existence in this desolate landscape. Sculpted by Kawagoe Hiromitsu, the figure stands approximately 230mm tall and is made from ABS and PVC. Originally priced at 6,476 JPY, it is part of the early wave of Black Rock Shooter figures that helped establish the character's popularity. Collectors have noted that the quality of these early GSC releases remains impressive even years later, though the black jacket material may become sticky over time due to plasticizer degradation.
