‘Black Butler’ Sebastian Is Simply One Hell Of A Cu-Poche

To promote the upcoming anime movie, Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic, Kotobukiya Japan is releasing a Cu-poche figure of the titular demonic manservant himself, Sebastian Michaelis. The majority of Cu-poche up to this point have been based on female characters so it is nice to see more variety in gender.

Like all Cu-Poche, Sebastian is jointed and has interchangeable hands and facial expressions. Fans of the series will be pleased with the inclusion of cutlery as a hand accessory. It feels like every season has at least one instance of Sebastian using the utensils as deadly weapons.

Cu-Poche Sebastian Michaelis, at press time, seems to only be available on the Japanese Kotobukiya store. I would say that the odds are good that he will be sold at import shops soon. In the meantime, the 110 millimeter tall figure costs ￥4,860 and is scheduled to release in January 2017.
