Banpresto has officially expanded its Noir Edge Collection with one of the most iconic characters from Naruto Shippuden – Uchiha Itachi.

Following the release of the Naruto Uzumaki Noir Edge Collection figure earlier this year, Itachi now joins the monochrome figure line with a striking display piece that perfectly captures his calm yet intimidating presence. The figure is expected to arrive in Japan in January 2027, making it one of the latest upcoming Naruto prize figures for collectors to look forward to.

What is the Noir Edge Collection?

The Noir Edge Collection is Banpresto's latest premium prize figure line inspired by the visual style of classic film noir. Instead of using vibrant colours throughout the figure, the sculpt focuses on monochrome shading to emphasise fine details and dramatic lighting. Small splashes of colour are then added to highlight each character's unique features.

For Naruto characters, this design works particularly well. The dark aesthetic perfectly complements fan-favourite characters such as Itachi Uchiha, whose mysterious personality and Akatsuki appearance fit naturally within the Noir Edge concept. The official Naruto website describes the series as using a monochrome finish to showcase the sculpt while adding subtle character-specific colours for contrast.

Uchiha Itachi – A Must-Have for Naruto Collectors

Few Naruto characters remain as popular as Itachi Uchiha.

From his unforgettable reveal as an Akatsuki member to the emotional truth behind the Uchiha Clan massacre, Itachi continues to rank among the most beloved characters in the Naruto franchise. This popularity makes his figures consistently sought after by collectors worldwide.

The Noir Edge Collection version presents Itachi in a composed standing pose wearing his iconic Akatsuki cloak. Standing approximately 23 cm tall, the figure features detailed sculpting while maintaining Banpresto's affordable prize figure format.
