Lupin III : Daisuke Jigen Revoltech 098
From a Japanese manga series Lupin III (ルパン三世, Rupan Sansei), also known as Lupin the 3rd, this is Lupin III : Daisuke Jigen Revoltech 098 . Jigen will be about 13.5cm tall, and features 15 points of articulation for ultimate posability. He comes with enough amazing accessories to take on any caper: three interchangeable facial expressions (a smirk, a teeth-gritted look, and one face with a cigarette firmly in place), a total of 7 interchangeable hands (two of which are holding a pistol), a cigarette and a lighter, a folding chair, 5 gunshot effects, and a really great display base that resembles a bullet-scarred brick wall! A base with a posable arm is also included for airborne poses.

Daisuke Jigen (次元 大介 Jigen Daisuke) is Lupin’s marksman. He can perform a 0.3-second quick-draw and shoots with amazing accuracy. He is often seen having a used cigarette clenched in between his teeth. He is also proficient in the use of many different firearms, such as machine guns, sniper rifles, and even a PTRS anti-tank rifle. In the opening of the PlayStation 2 video game, Treasure of the Sorcerer King, Jigen assembles his pistol from composite parts and fires a shot through a door with 100% accuracy before an enemy can finish turning the doorknob.

Jigen is master thief Arsène Lupin III’s marksman. He can perform a 0.3-second quick-draw and has an accuracy that borders on superhuman; he can shoot skeet with a handgun, explode a missile before it hits by targeting the warhead, and deflect another bullet by shooting it in mid-flight. He prefers to conceal his eyes using his hat, as it gives him a more enigmatic appearance; when one or both of his eyes are seen, it is occasionally used to demonstrate surprise. In the second anime series, it is revealed that he uses a notch of the hat to aim. However, due to the nature of the series, no single episode could be considered canon; Jigen has been seen shooting excellently without his hat, even in the very series this is mentioned in, he is seen making shots from angles where his hat’s notch would be useless and even during times he is not wearing his hat at all. He is also proficient in many different firearms, such as machine guns, sniper rifles, and even a PTRS Anti-Tank Rifle.

His preferred weapon, however, is a Smith & Wesson Model 19 Combat revolver, based on the pistol’s stopping power and its dependability against misfire. He keeps the weapon in a fabric holster specially constructed in the back beltline of his pants. He also feels quite naked without a gun: during an enemy attack in The Fuma Conspiracy, Jigen was unarmed (during a wedding) yet instinctively reached back, grabbed at nothing, humorously aimed his empty hand and moved his trigger finger before realizing what he was doing. Even Lupin has mentioned he should “buy it a ring and marry it already”. Jigen also carries a few rounds of special ammunition such as armor-piercing shells to use as circumstances dictate. As he frequently travels by air, it’s not been made clear how he successfully gets his weapon through airline checkpoints. One theory is he flies unarmed and has weapons planted at all major airports, picking them up and leaving them when travel demands. See details
