INART Action keeps building out its Black Myth: Wukong roster, and the newest boss to join it is Tiger Vanguard — the hulking tiger boss from Chapter 2, in 1/12 scale. The site already covers Guangzhi, the Great Sage Armor Set and the Yaksha King from the same line; Tiger Vanguard fills the boss slot between them.

The figure

Tiger Vanguard stands about 19.7 cm tall — noticeably bigger than the line’s human-sized figures, as a boss should be. The build mixes ABS, PVC, POK, fabric and diecast, and the diecast shows up where it counts: a metal forearm and hand among the seven interchangeable hands, giving the tiger’s strikes real weight in hand.

The accessory set leans into the fight: a sword with scabbard, a blade effect part and a blood effect part for recreating the boss battle’s messiest moments, plus a base and stand for display. Multiple points of articulation cover the posing range, from the tiger’s crouched prowl to full sword swings.

Availability

Pre-orders opened in September 2026. BBTS lists Tiger Vanguard at $234.99 with an estimated arrival of January 2027. No pre-order cutoff date has been published by the retailers checked, so there is no deadline to race — but boss figures in this line have tended to sell through their early allocations.

Why it matters

Tiger Vanguard is the boss collectors actually remember from Chapter 2 — the fight that gates the rest of the game — and INART is giving him the full treatment: oversized 19.7 cm presence, a diecast metal arm, and blood effects that most lines would skip. If you’re building the Black Myth shelf, this is the piece that anchors it.
