Mitsuki (Sage Mode)

Released as part of the Funko Pop! Animation line, this figure depicts Mitsuki, a central character from the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations series, in his Sage Mode state. The figure was produced to cater to the growing demand for merchandise following the successful transition of the Naruto franchise into its sequel series, focusing on the next generation of shinobi. The aesthetic follows Funko’s signature stylized design, emphasizing the character's distinct features, such as his unique glowing eyes and hair color, to distinguish him from other figures in the Boruto lineup.

The design process for this piece aimed to capture Mitsuki’s transformation during the Chunin Exams arc, specifically highlighting his aura and facial markings associated with his sage transformation. As number 699 in the Animation series, it became a significant addition for collectors documenting the Boruto timeline. Upon release, it was well-received by fans of the series who sought to expand their collections beyond the core characters of the original Naruto series, solidifying its place as a recognizable representation of Mitsuki’s power within the collectible market.
