Kakashi Raikiri [GITD]

The Kakashi Hatake (Raikiri) figure, numbered 1103 in the Pop! Animation series, was released by Funko as part of their extensive line celebrating the Naruto: Shippuden franchise. It depicts the character mid-action, channeling his signature Raikiri, or Lightning Blade, technique. The design captures the iconic aesthetic of the series, with the glow-in-the-dark finish specifically intended to mimic the electrical energy of the character's chakra-infused strike.

As a specialized entry in the Naruto collection, this figure was designed to appeal to collectors seeking dynamic character poses rather than static portraits. Funko’s design team leaned into the established visual language of the anime, prioritizing recognizability and the inclusion of unique physical properties like the glow effect to distinguish this variant from earlier releases. It arrived during a period of sustained popularity for the franchise, meeting the demand for high-fidelity representations of major ninja techniques.
