Code Geass' Life-Size Lelouch Lands in Fans' Rooms This Summer

posted on by Jennifer Sherman

Anime News Network's merchandise coverage sponsored by Tokyo Otaku Mode.


Lelouch Lamperouge's story may have come to an end in the second Code Geass television series, but he is returning to the real world in life-size form. The Bandai Premium website revealed the Tōshindai POP ~1/1 Panel Prince~ Lelouch Lamperouge standee on Thursday.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion character designer Takahiro Kimura provided a new illustration of Lelouch for the character panel. In the image, Lelouch has removed his mask after finishing working as Zero with the Black Knights for the day. Lelouch stands 178 centimeters (about 5 feet 10 inches) tall and can fold in half for storage.

As the images below show, the Lelouch panel can attend birthday parties, join fans for private reading sessions, greet its owner in the morning, or participate in recreational activities like karaoke and video screenings. Although the panel is an average character cutout, the possibilities for applications in fans' everyday lives are nearly endless.

The panel costs 7,560 yen (about US$69), and Premium Bandai is accepting pre-orders until July 10, Suzaku Kururugi's birthday. Orders will begin shipping in September.

The third film of the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion anime trilogy, Code Geass - Hangyaku no Lelouch - Ōdō (lit.: The Imperial Path, official English subtitle: Glorification), will open in Japan on Saturday. Funimation has licensed the films.

The franchise is also planning a Code Geass: Fukkatsu no Lelouch sequel project. The English subtitle for the project is "Re;surrection."
