Fans of Naruto can look forward to an exciting noir-themed release this year, marking the beginning of a fresh official series.
According to the official Naruto website, Bandai’s Banpresto line is launching its latest figure series with an innovative portrayal of Naruto Uzumaki. As the inaugural figure from Banpresto’s Noir Edge Collection, Naruto is presented in a striking black-and-white design, highlighted by the fiery red eyes of the Nine Tails and detailed back attire. He is depicted forming the iconic hand sign for his Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Banpresto’s official product description states, “Naruto Uzumaki takes center stage in this Noir Edge Collection figure, captured in a battle-ready pose that exudes energy. The figure is painted in bold hues of black, white, and gray, enhancing every detail except for his vivid eyes and the distinctive emblem on his back, making it a dramatic focal point for any enthusiast’s collection.”
The official product description from Banpresto reads, “Naruto Uzumaki steps into the spotlight in this Noir Edge Collection figure, captured in a ready-for-battle pose that radiates intensity. Painted in striking shades of black, white, and gray, every detail is accentuated except for his piercing eyes and the iconic symbol on his back, making him a dramatic centerpiece for any collection.”
Naruto: Shippuden Leads New ‘Noir Edge Collection’ Series by Banpresto
The official product description continues, “Standing just over 9-inches tall and crafted from high-quality plastic, this collectible brings the dynamic energy and striking design to life. Perfect for shelves, desks, or Naruto displays, this statue turns any space into a showcase of ninja power and style.”
While pre-orders for the Naruto Uzumaki Noir Edge Collection figure from Banpresto are sold out across many outlets, that doesn’t mean fans won’t be able to get one otherwise. Currently, the Naruto Uzumaki Noir Edge Collection figure is expected to arrive in select retailers and online outlets in May.
The release of this new figure is sure to delight fans, although it is one of the more minor releases for the franchise this year. One of the biggest, on the other hand, is still to come in the form of the long-overdue four-part Naruto anniversary special from Studio Pierrot. Originally announced in 2023 before being delayed and revisited, the Naruto anniversary episodes are widely expected to premiere in late 2026.
While the mainline Naruto series has long since ended, fans still have plenty of ways to enjoy and celebrate their favorite franchise. Among the most recent of these is the life-size Naruto Konoha Land at Parc Spirou Provence. Unfortunately, the Parc Spirou amusement park is indeed all the way in France — a decision that drew the ire of many fans.
Naruto Konoha Land opened on April 4, 2026, offering fans the opportunity to explore iconic locales from the series, including the Konoha Gate, Team Kakashi’s training logs, Hokage Rock and the dango shop, each dotted with life-sized statues of various characters.
Ahead of the opening of Naruto Konoha Land, Parc Spirou Provence park manager Hervé Luxe said of the project, “It is a great joy and an honor for us to bring the Naruto universe to life at Parc Spirou… Led hand in hand between the Park, Mediatoon Licensing, and our Japanese partners Shueisha, Studio Pierrot, and TV Tokyo, this project will allow us to offer visitors the most immersive experience possible for a theme park.”
