Tunshi Studio (吞时工作室) takes on the Fourth Hokage: Minato Namikaze in 1/12, officially licensed through PILi China — part of the wave of legit Chinese anime figures that no longer needs the “unlicensed” asterisk.

The figure

At ~15 cm, Minato gets the full Yellow Flash treatment: cloth Hokage cloak with flame hem, spiky blond hair, and a Rasengan swirl effect for the signature pose. The anime-style sculpt keeps the proportions clean for high kicks, kunai throws and Flying Raijin stances.

Why it matters

Licensed 1/12 anime figures used to be Japan’s exclusive territory. Tunshi doing an official Minato — cloth goods included — at Chinese-market pricing shows how far the licensing pipeline has come: the same characters, the same quality bar, built domestically.
