Aniplex+ has revealed a 1/7 scale Kawaki figure based on his appearance in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, priced at 29,700 yen. The figure arrives as part of the broader Boruto 10th anniversary celebration that kicked off earlier this year.
Kawaki has become one of the most divisive but narratively central characters in the post-Naruto era, and this is his most premium scale figure treatment to date.
Boruto's 10th anniversary has already included a 600-page story guide, a commemorative video, and a color edition reprint of Two Blue Vortex volume 1. The Kawaki figure adds a physical collectible to that lineup, timed to land while anniversary attention is at its highest.
This kind of anniversary-tied premium release tends to carry extra significance for long-term collectors, since it marks a specific moment in the franchise's history rather than just another rotating character wave.
Two Blue Vortex has repositioned Kawaki as a central figure in the manga's current arc, following his complicated history as both Naruto's adopted son and a major antagonist force. Aniplex+ choosing him as the first major scale figure from this arc signals where the franchise's marketing attention is currently focused.
For collectors who've followed Naruto since the original series, Kawaki represents a genuinely new chapter rather than a rehash of classic-era characters, which may explain the premium pricing relative to more nostalgia-driven figures.
At 1/7 scale, this release sits above most mass-market Naruto/Boruto merchandise in both size and detail complexity. Aniplex+ has generally reserved this scale tier for characters it expects strong sustained demand for, rather than every character getting the same premium treatment.
The pricing at 29,700 yen puts it firmly in premium anime figure territory, comparable to scale figures from other major shonen franchises currently receiving similar treatment.
Given the anniversary framing, more Two Blue Vortex-specific figures are a reasonable expectation over the coming months, particularly if this Kawaki release performs well. Collectors building a Two Blue Vortex-specific display may want to watch for companion pieces featuring Boruto himself or other major arc characters.
Import availability and pricing in Canadian dollars will vary by retailer, so comparing a few import specialty shops before committing to a pre-order is worth the extra few minutes.
Kawaki's arc has never been simple. Introduced as a scarred, guarded outsider Naruto took in, he later became the vessel for one of the franchise's most dangerous antagonist forces, and Two Blue Vortex has continued complicating his relationship with the Uzumaki family further still.
That narrative complexity is part of why a premium figure treatment feels earned rather than arbitrary. Characters with this much unresolved story tension tend to hold collector interest well beyond a single arc's conclusion, which matters for anyone weighing whether a 29,700 yen figure is worth the investment.
The most common mistake with premium import scale figures is underestimating shipping and import fees on top of the listed yen price, which can add a meaningful percentage to the final cost depending on your location and chosen retailer.
The second mistake is confusing this 1/7 scale release with smaller, more affordable Kawaki merchandise also tied to the anniversary, like keyholders or tapestries, which are priced very differently from this scale figure.
Not all import specialty retailers price identically once shipping and handling are factored in, even for the same base figure price. A few minutes comparing two or three established Japanese import shops before committing can meaningfully change your final landed cost.
Reading recent buyer reviews on shipping reliability specifically is also worth the extra step for a premium figure at this price point, since a damaged shipment on a nearly $200 USD figure is a genuinely costly mistake to make.
A premium scale figure like this deserves proper display protection from day one. The EVORETRO Clear Acrylic Display Case provides solid UV and dust protection sized for a single scale figure.
If you're building a broader Naruto/Boruto display alongside other figures, the EVORETRO Acrylic Modular Case offers configurable sizing for a growing collection. The EVORETRO Clear Acrylic Figurine Case is a solid budget option for smaller companion pieces.
Is this figure exclusive to Aniplex+? It's an Aniplex+ release, though secondary retailers and import shops typically carry it once initial allocation opens up.
Does the price include shipping? No, the 29,700 yen price is the base figure cost; shipping and import fees will vary by retailer and destination.
Is this the first scale figure from Two Blue Vortex? It's the first major premium scale figure tied specifically to this arc, following smaller anniversary merchandise released earlier in the year.
Does the figure come with alternate parts? Aniplex+ hasn't detailed alternate parts for this release; check the official product listing closer to release for a confirmed accessory list.
Kawaki's rise to narrative prominence in Two Blue Vortex makes this figure a genuinely significant release rather than just another rotating character option. Anniversary-tied premium figures like this one tend to hold collector interest well beyond their initial release window, so pre-ordering promptly is worth considering if the character matters to your collection.
Given the anniversary framing and the character's growing narrative weight, this is unlikely to be the last major Kawaki release in this scale tier, but getting in on the first one still carries its own collector value.
