S.H.Figuarts Kageyama Tobio Review | Recreate famous scenes from Haikyu!! with overwhelming articulation

Tobio Kageyama finally appears in the SHFiguarts line!

Tobio Kageyama, the other main character of the anime "Haikyu!!", has finally been brought to life as an action figure by the "SHFiguarts" brand. With its incredible range of motion and abundant optional parts, this is a must-have item that can perfectly recreate the volleyball action befitting the "King of the Court".

Basic information and specifications

The SHFiguarts Kageyama Tobio is a PVC and ABS action figure, standing approximately 150mm tall, and features a consistent size across the series, making it easy to collect. It is priced at 8,800 yen (tax included) and is currently available for pre-order as a general retail release scheduled for January 2026.

An overwhelming range of motion that replicates the movements of volleyball.

The SHFiguarts series is a brand that aims to "pursue character expression through humanoid articulation," and its main characteristic is that it combines stylish proportions with high articulation. Kageyama Tobio is no exception, and it is equipped with a wide range of motion that allows him to flawlessly perform a series of volleyball actions such as spiking, setting, and receiving.

With a wide variety of facial and wrist parts, you can fully capture Kageyama's essence.

The figure comes with four interchangeable face parts, a set of interchangeable bangs parts, and multiple interchangeable wrist parts for both the left and right hands, allowing you to enjoy expressing Kageyama's characteristic emotions, from a serious expression during a match to a grumpy face. Furthermore, it includes a volleyball, a dedicated stand, and a set of dedicated clips, allowing for dynamic displays such as a spiking scene with the ball suspended in mid-air.

Sitting poses and scenes of trimming nails can also be recreated.

The Kageyama Tobio figure is designed to not only recreate the intense movements of a match, but also to naturally reproduce a sitting pose thanks to its wide range of motion. It can even recreate the memorable "trimming his nails" pose from the series, so when combined with a gym bench or clubroom diorama, you can enjoy recreating everyday scenes in more detail.

Recreate famous scenes from Haikyuu!! by placing Hinata Shoyo alongside him.

A figure of Shoyo Hinata from the same SHFiguarts line is also scheduled for release in the same month, and a major appeal of the series is that you can recreate famous scenes from the anime in 3D by displaying the two figures together. In particular, combination plays such as Kageyama's toss followed by Hinata's jump spike can be recreated with impressive detail by combining the series' unique articulation with the included display stand.

Summary: A must-have for Haikyuu fans who want to play with it!

The SHFiguarts Kageyama Tobio is an action figure that combines a highly accurate sculpting based on the anime with dynamic posing befitting a volleyball player, making it fun to pose. It's especially recommended for fans of Haikyuu!! who enjoy posing and taking photos, creating dioramas, and those who want to display it alongside Hinata Shoyo.
