1/7 Scale Figure Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade – Kizumonogatari (27 cm)

Product Description

Discover this magnificent 1/7 scale figure representing Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade, the legendary vampire nicknamed the “King of Apparitions” in Kizumonogatari.
Sculpted in high-quality PVC and measuring approximately 27 cm, it reveals the slender silhouette of Kiss-Shot in her iconic outfit: a dark corset enhanced with feathers, a dark red dress animated by a spectacular drape, as well as her long white sleeves that will contrast perfectly in your collection.
Her long, finely textured blond hair seems to float around of her melancholic face, with eyes imbued with sadness and power. The figurine also includes the famous “Heart Under Blade” sword, placed in her right hand, whose silver blade reflects the light to create a chilling effect.
The circular base, textured like an ancient cracked cobblestone, anchors Kiss-Shot’s setting in a gothic atmosphere, evoking the dark alleys where she hunts apparitions. Every detail, from the folds of her skirt to the shadows on her pale skin, has been carefully painted to capture the supreme vampire's captivating aura.

Who is Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade?

Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade, also known as Shinobu Oshino after losing most of her powers, is the oldest and most powerful vampire in the Monogatari universe.
Hailing from an unspecified time, she is the “King of Apparitions,” capable of destroying any supernatural creature. Her angelic face hides a tormented existence: at the height of her power, she dominated the night world and harbored an insatiable thirst for blood.
After being nearly fatally wounded by the protagonist Koyomi Araragi, she becomes, in her weakened form, Shinobu Oshino, a seemingly innocent girl living in Araragi's basement. However, as soon as she regains some of her strength, she becomes Kiss-Shot again, ready to wield “Heart Under Blade” to protect or destroy.
Her age-old intelligence, sharp tongue, and unpredictable nature make her a fascinating character, constantly oscillating between vampiric cruelty and a fragile bond of friendship with Araragi. This duality is at the heart of the saga, gradually revealing the vampire's bloody past and true role in the supernatural events.

Complete History of the Kizumonogatari License and the Monogatari Franchise

The Monogatari series, written by Nisio Isin and illustrated by VOFAN, began in 2006 as light novels published by Kodansha. It is distinguished by its non-linear storytelling, unique literary style, and blend of Japanese and Western cultural references.
Bakemonogatari Arc (2006–2009) – Koyomi Araragi, a high school student who has become nearly immortal after surviving a vampire attack, meets several young girls haunted by supernatural creatures. Each of these cases highlights a particular phenomenon (Tsubasa Hanekawa and the Demon Cat, Hitagi Senjougahara and the Weighty Shrimp), introducing the world of aberrations. Kizumonogatari Arc (2012–2013) – These volumes serve as a prequel to Bakemonogatari. They recount Araragi's encounter with Kiss-Shot in her powerful vampire form. Gravely injured, she transfers her power to Araragi to survive, triggering a hunt for the three vampire enemies who possess fragments of her body. This bloody quest traces Araragi's origin as a quasi-vampire and his pact with Kiss-Shot.
Anime Adaptations: - 2012–2013: Studio Shaft's anime adaptation of Bakemonogatari (24 episodes) introduces the surreal visual style and rapid-fire dialogue that would become the franchise's trademark.
- 2016–2017: The film triptych Kizumonogatari Part 1: Tekketsu, Part 2: Nekketsu, and Part 3: Reiketsu details Araragi and Kiss-Shot's confrontation with the three rival vampires, bringing a dramatic dimension through careful animation.
Nisemonogatari Arc, Monogatari Series Second Season, etc. – After Kizumonogatari, the saga continues with the exploration of the emotional bonds and inner conflicts of the emblematic figures, notably Shinobu Oshino, Hanekawa and Kanbaru.
Sustainability and success: The franchise's light novels have sold over 7 million copies in Japan. The animated adaptations have met with international acclaim, acclaimed for their bold aesthetic, their immersive soundtrack (composed by Satoru Kosaki) and the vocal performance of Mariya Ito as Shinobu.
The license has also expanded to include spin-off manga, spin-off novels and video games (PSP, PS Vita) exploring different narrative points of view. The cultural impact of Monogatari is undeniable: many fans create fan art and detailed analyses of the characters' psychology and the symbolism used by Nisio Isin.
