Arthur with Sword

The Arthur with Sword Pop! figure, numbered 978 in the Animation line, is based on the character Arthur Boyle from the anime and manga series Fire Force. Produced by Funko, the figure depicts Arthur wielding his signature plasma sword, Excalibur, which is a physical manifestation of his unique, albeit erratic, pyrokinetic abilities. The design captures his characteristic knight-errant persona, reflecting the show's blend of supernatural combat and stylistic, high-energy action.

Fire Force, created by Atsushi Ohkubo, gained significant international popularity following the anime adaptation by David Production. Funko chose to expand their Animation catalog to include these characters during the height of the series' broadcast, aiming to appeal to a growing demographic of anime collectors. The Arthur figure was released as part of a wider wave that sought to capture the distinct aesthetic of the Special Fire Force Company 8, staying true to the source material's vibrant color palette and character-specific poses.
