The first reveals from the McFarlane Winter Showcase were a number of new figures from a new licence to the McFarlane stable, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaib.
As is often the case with McFarlane the Demon Slayer line will feature both 5 inch and 7 inch figures as well as a 12 inch statue. In the 7 inch series the line launches with figures of Nezuko Kamado, Tanjiro Kamado, and Zenitsu Agatsuma. Each 7 inch figure features character appropriate accessory or powered effect pieces as well as the usual McFarlane circular stand.
The same trio of characters get the 5 inch treatment, and they are also joined by Muzan Kibutsuji. The standard figures are presented on a blister card. Zenitsu Agatsuma is a deluxe release and comes with a Thunder Breathing effect.
The final release is a posed 12 inch statue of Tanjiro Kamado. He sits on top of a stand, posing him in a leaping position with his sword brandished in front of him. This piece is a boxed release.
All of the Demon Slayer releases from McFarlane are slated for an April 2023 release.

Zenitsu Agatsuma joins the Demon Slayer Corps at the same time as Tanjiro. He has an acute sense of hearing, and can identify the sounds made by other people or demons.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
