Claymore has been a somewhat overlooked property in the premium figure space relative to its cult following, and Kaiyodo is changing that with two Revoltech releases: Clare and Teresa of the Faint Smile, both scheduled for a November 2026 release at 9,900 yen each. At roughly 15.5cm tall, these sit in Revoltech's standard non-scale action figure range, built around the line's signature joint system rather than a static statue pose.
Both figures come loaded with accessories typical of a well-supported Revoltech release: interchangeable hands, alternate face plates for different expressions, and each character's iconic sword. For a manga and anime property known for its dramatic, action-heavy combat sequences, that accessory set matters — a figure that can only hold one static pose undersells what makes Claymore's character designs compelling in the first place.
Revoltech's ball-joint system has long been the format's biggest selling point, allowing for genuinely dynamic mid-combat poses that a traditional PVC statue can't replicate without a separate sculpt for every pose variant. Claymore's warriors are defined by their swordplay, so a figure format built specifically around convincing action poses is a natural fit for the property in a way it wouldn't necessarily be for a more static character design.
Teresa of the Faint Smile and Clare represent two of the manga's most pivotal characters — Teresa as the powerful, morally complex warrior whose story arc shapes much of the series' early emotional core, and Clare as the protagonist whose journey the entire narrative follows. Releasing them as a paired wave rather than staggering them months apart gives collectors who want both characters together a cleaner acquisition path.
At 9,900 yen (roughly $65-70 USD depending on exchange rates at time of import), these sit at a reasonable mid-tier price for a Japan-import figure with this level of articulation and included accessories, though import shipping and any applicable fees will add to the final landed cost for collectors ordering from outside Japan.
Since these are Japan-first releases, collectors outside Japan will generally have two paths: ordering directly through Japanese import sites and dealing with international shipping and customs, or waiting for a domestic specialty retailer to bring in stock, which sometimes carries a markup over direct import pricing but avoids the shipping complexity. Given Claymore's smaller but dedicated fanbase outside Japan, domestic stock availability may be more limited than for higher-profile anime licenses, so collectors set on securing both Clare and Teresa may want to explore import options rather than waiting on domestic retail alone.
Japanese import retailers commonly handle figure pre-orders through a deposit system, where a partial payment secures your order and the remainder is charged closer to shipping. Understanding your specific retailer's deposit policy — including refund terms if a release is delayed or cancelled — is worth confirming before committing to a November 2026 pre-order this far in advance.
Smaller articulated figures like these benefit from a case sized to their non-scale format. The EVORETRO Protective Case for Nendoroid works well for a single figure with its included accessories, while the EVORETRO Acrylic Modular Case gives more room to display Clare and Teresa together with swords drawn.
Claymore hasn't had consistent merchandise support compared to more mainstream anime franchises, making these Revoltech figures a relatively rare opportunity for fans to add premium, articulated collectibles to what's often otherwise a print-and-media-focused fandom. Collectors who've been following the franchise for years may find this release carries extra significance simply due to how infrequently the property gets this level of figure treatment.
9,900 yen each for both Clare and Teresa of the Faint Smile.
November 2026.
Interchangeable hands, alternate face plates, and each character's signature sword.
Approximately 15.5cm, Revoltech's standard non-scale action figure size.
Clare and Teresa display well together given their central roles in the same storyline, and collectors displaying them as a pair may want to consider a shared base or riser that visually connects the two figures rather than spacing them as entirely separate pieces.
All told, this is a genuinely welcome release for a franchise that's been underserved in the collectible figure space for years. Claymore has earned this kind of premium figure treatment for a while, and Kaiyodo's articulation-first Revoltech format is a genuinely good match for a franchise built around dynamic swordplay. Worth watching for import availability as the November release date approaches.
