Sorry, still no sign that the Bastard!! manga is returning any time soon, but Amakuni has teamed up with Hobby Japan to present a "Defenders of the Faith Edition" statue of its anti-hero Dark Schneider. Orders are being accepted through February 10 ahead of a September/October release with the 29cm x 50cm figure selling for 38,800 yen.
Iwakura Keiji sculpts the work with Pinpoint as color producer.
Manga author Kazushi Hagiwara recently drew new covers for pocket editions of the manga.
The most recent volume of the 1998 manga concerning the apocalyptic adventures of resurrected wizard Dark Schneider, 27, was released in Japan in 2012. Viz has released 19 volumes in North America. A 1992 OVA was released in the region by Geneon.
