Banpresto Tokyo Ghoul Grandista Kaneki Ken Figures – Which Version Should You Add to Your Collection?

Tokyo Ghoul fans can now add two impressive Ken Kaneki figures to their collection with Banpresto’s Grandista figure line: Grandista -KANEKI KEN- and Grandista -KANEKI KEN II-.

Both figures capture Kaneki’s unforgettable presence from Tokyo Ghoul, but each version offers a different display style. Whether you prefer Kaneki’s clean character-focused look or the more dramatic kagune-exposed version, these Grandista releases are ideal for fans looking for a large, affordable Tokyo Ghoul figure.

What Is the Banpresto Grandista Series?

Banpresto’s Grandista series is known for larger prize figures with strong shelf presence. Compared with smaller prize figures, Grandista releases usually stand taller and focus on detailed sculpting, bold character poses and impressive display value.

For Tokyo Ghoul, this format works especially well. Ken Kaneki is a character with a powerful visual identity, and the larger Grandista size allows collectors to appreciate details such as his outfit, posture, expression and body sculpt.

At approximately 27cm tall, both Kaneki Grandista figures are large enough to become centrepieces in a Tokyo Ghoul collection without reaching the price level of premium scale figures.

Banpresto Tokyo Ghoul Grandista -KANEKI KEN-

The original Banpresto Tokyo Ghoul Grandista -KANEKI KEN- figure presents Kaneki in a clean and character-focused style. This version is ideal for collectors who want a strong standalone Kaneki figure that highlights his design, outfit and physique.

The figure features a voluminous sculpt with detailed attention to Kaneki’s costume and body shape. It is a great choice for fans who prefer a more minimal display that still feels powerful and recognisable.

This version works especially well if you want a Kaneki figure that fits neatly alongside other anime prize figures, manga displays or Tokyo Ghoul merchandise.

Why collectors may prefer this version

• Clean and classic Kaneki display style

• Large Grandista size

• Strong sculpting and costume detail

• Easy to display with other anime figures

• Great entry point for Tokyo Ghoul figure collectors

Banpresto Tokyo Ghoul Grandista -KANEKI KEN II-

The Banpresto Tokyo Ghoul Grandista -KANEKI KEN II- figure offers a more intense version of Kaneki, featuring his kagune exposed.

This version is perfect for fans who want a more dramatic Tokyo Ghoul display. The exposed kagune adds movement, impact and a darker atmosphere to the figure, making it visually stand out compared with the original Grandista Kaneki release.

For collectors who associate Kaneki with the darker action and psychological horror elements of Tokyo Ghoul, the KANEKI KEN II version may be the more exciting choice. It captures the transformation and danger surrounding Kaneki’s character in a way that feels closer to the tone of the series.

Why collectors may prefer this version

• Kagune-exposed design

• More dramatic display presence

• Stronger Tokyo Ghoul horror-action atmosphere

• Great companion piece to the original Grandista Kaneki

• Ideal for fans who want a more intense Kaneki figure

Which Kaneki Grandista Figure Should You Choose?

Both figures are excellent choices, but the best one depends on your collection style.

If you want a clean and classic Kaneki figure, choose Grandista -KANEKI KEN-. It is simple, stylish and easy to display.

If you want a more dynamic and intense figure, choose Grandista -KANEKI KEN II-. The kagune-exposed design gives it stronger visual impact and makes it stand out more on a shelf.

For dedicated Tokyo Ghoul collectors, the best option is to display both figures together. The two versions show different sides of Kaneki’s character: the calm, composed figure and the darker, more monstrous side of his transformation.

Why Ken Kaneki Figures Remain Popular

Ken Kaneki remains one of the most recognisable anime protagonists of the 2010s. His journey from ordinary student to half-ghoul made him one of the defining dark fantasy characters in modern anime.

His visual design is also highly collectible. White hair, dark clothing, ghoul mask imagery and kagune-related designs all translate extremely well into figure form.

Even years after Tokyo Ghoul first aired, Kaneki figures continue to attract collectors because the character still has strong recognition among anime fans. For many fans, Kaneki represents the emotional core of Tokyo Ghoul: identity, survival, pain and transformation.

Perfect for Tokyo Ghoul Displays

These Banpresto Grandista figures are suitable for:

• Tokyo Ghoul fans

• Ken Kaneki collectors

• Anime prize figure collectors

• Manga shelf displays

• Dark anime figure collections

• Fans looking for larger affordable figures

• Collectors who want an impressive display piece without buying a scale figure

Because both figures are approximately 27cm tall, they work especially well as display centrepieces. They can be placed on a bookshelf, desk, display cabinet or alongside other Tokyo Ghoul merchandise.

Should You Buy Both Versions?

If you are a Tokyo Ghoul fan, collecting both versions makes sense.

The original Grandista -KANEKI KEN- gives you a clean and iconic version of Kaneki, while Grandista -KANEKI KEN II- gives you the kagune-exposed version with stronger action and horror appeal.

Together, they create a stronger Tokyo Ghoul display than either figure alone. For fans of Kaneki’s character development, displaying both versions side by side also reflects the contrast between his human side and ghoul identity.
