The Fourth Hokage gets his moment in Vol. 2, and this figure captures Minato mid-flash step, kunai gripped between his teeth, one hand extended forward with a Rasengan already forming. It’s a pose built entirely around speed, which fits perfectly given his reputation as the fastest ninja in the series.

The white Hokage coat with red flame trim is instantly recognizable, flowing behind him as if he’s already halfway through a teleportation jump. His spiky blonde hair and forehead protector round out a design that hasn’t changed much since his introduction, and honestly doesn’t need to. That kunai clenched in his mouth is a small detail lifted straight from his signature Flying Thunder God technique, and it’s a nice touch that the anniversary “NARUTOP99” branding is worked directly into the kunai handle itself rather than tacked on as a separate prop.

Minato has always been a fan favorite despite limited screen time in the main series, so seeing him featured this early in the NARUTOP99 anniversary lineup says a lot about where he landed in the actual popularity poll this whole line is built around. The dynamic Rasengan pose gives collectors something more action-oriented than a standard standing figure too.

As Vol. 2 in this five-figure anniversary set, Minato is shaping up to be one of the stronger entries so far. For fans building out a Hokage lineup or just chasing the full NARUTOP99 collection, this one’s a clear must-have.
