Cronologia
Panoramica
Banpresto, a specialized prize figure brand under Bandai Spirits, produces an extensive catalog of collectibles based on Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Distributed primarily through prize lotteries, arcade claw games, and global retail outlets, the line provides affordable, high-quality statues for fans and dedicated collectors alike.
Most figures are non-scale static sculptures standing between 5 to 9 inches (13 to 23 cm) tall, complemented by specialized formats ranging from 7 cm World Collectable Figure (WCF) mini-figures to large-format centerpieces like Grandista and Maximatic. The umbrella line systematically separates characters into thematic sub-series, such as Kizuna no Sou for human swordsmen and the Demon Series for villainous antagonists.
Storia
The Banpresto Demon Slayer line launched alongside the anime's explosive popularity following ufotable's 2019 television adaptation of Koyoharu Gotouge's original manga.
Initial releases in the flagship Kizuna no Sou series focused on core protagonists Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke Hashibira.
As the story expanded through the Mugen Train Arc (2020 film / 2021 TV), Entertainment District Arc (2021–2022), Swordsmith Village Arc (2023), and Hashira Training Arc (2024), Banpresto continually introduced specialized lines. These included the Demon Series for Upper and Lower Rank demons, Vibration Stars for mid-battle action stances, and Combination Battle for diorama setups. With the release of The Movie: Infinity Castle Arc trilogy starting in 2025, Banpresto continues to update its lineup with new character forms and enhanced sculpts.

Collezionismo
Banpresto's Demon Slayer collectibles are highly prized due to their accessible price point, wide character coverage, and faithful sculpt fidelity. Unlike high-end scale figures that require significant financial investment, Banpresto allows fans to assemble the full roster of nine Hashira, the main squad, and major Twelve Kizuki demons in matching formats.
Early Kizuna no Sou volume releases and original Hashira figures have appreciated on the secondary market as new collectors seek to complete their sets. Dynamic lines like Vibration Stars and large-scale Grandista releases consistently hold high demand among figure collectors worldwide, supported by the ongoing release of ufotable's theatrical film trilogy.
The record-breaking global success of Demon Slayer: The Movie: Mugen Train made Banpresto's Kyojuro Rengoku figures some of the fastest-selling prize items in the brand's history.
