During the Wonder Festival 2018 [Summer] event held yesterday, the latest version of the Yoh Asakura and Hao figures were on display at the Kotobukiya booth. The current design and how it was displayed was also previewed online via the official Twitter account, which was shown below.
During the previous Wonder Festival 2018 [Winter] event was when the figures was first announced. It has now been confirmed that they will be 1/8 scale.
Within the promotional booklet from Kotobukiya at the event, it also has the following tentative release dates for the figures:
- Yoh Asakura – February 2019
- Hao – March 2019
A picture of the half-page ad from the promotional booklet can be found here from Twitter user @110ken.
These dates are subject to change, and are typically not “locked-in” until a full color, finalized version has been made. There can often be delays in the production of these figures because of their complexity. Additionally, no price has been given yet, which only adds to the tentative nature of these dates.
