From "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes," three figures of Jan Wenley, Reinhard von Lohengram, and Siegfried Kirchheiss, who have been popular among both men and women since the publication of the novel, have been decided to be made into figures.

The prototypes were created through a process of trial and error, focusing on the dignity and softness of their facial expressions and the fineness of their lines.

The three prototypes will be exhibited for the first time in Japan at the "Legend of the Galactic Heroes: The First Battle of Akihabara" event to be held on July 15 (Sat) at the AniON STATION AKIHABARA main store in Akihabara, Tokyo.

The latest information on the figures will be announced on Kotobukiya's Legend of the Galactic Heroes special site ( # ) and elsewhere, so be sure to check back.
