Set in the legendary competitive fighting game The King of Fighters ’98: Ultimate Match created by SNK, this incredibly dynamic action figure is brought to life by JOYTOY.

1. Art of Fighting Team: Robert Garcia
Specific Name: KOF ’98 UM Art of Fighting Team Robert Garcia
-
Iconic Fighter’s Wardrobe: Robert is depicted in his classic, sophisticated fighting attire: a tailored, unbuttoned dark blue collared shirt, crisp white dress pants, and brown dress shoes. He wears traditional white martial arts hand wraps and sports his signature heavy gold medallion necklace. His long brown hair is styled back into his classic ponytail.
-
IP Background & Combat Philosophy: Known as the “Raging Tiger,” Robert Garcia is the wealthy heir to the Garcia Foundation in Italy. Despite his billionaire playboy lifestyle, he is an incredibly dedicated martial artist and the best friend/rival of Ryo Sakazaki. He is a master of Kyokugenryu Karate, but unlike Ryo’s punch-heavy style, Robert focuses on extreme speed, agility, and a devastating barrage of kicking techniques.
-
The “Raging Tiger” Accessories & Effects: Standing at 11.7cm tall, this figure is packed with accessories that perfectly capture his flashy personality and combat style:
-
Haoh Shouko Ken (Supreme King Champion Hair Punch): A massive, overwhelming sphere of fiery orange/yellow energy, complete with a dedicated articulated display stand.
-
Gen’ei Kyaku (Phantom Kick) Effects: Attachments for his legs that simulate the lightning-fast, multi-kick blur of his signature attack.
-
The Playboy’s Lifestyle Accoutrements: Unlike traditional martial artists, Robert comes with highly unique, character-specific accessories including a miniature violin and bow, a bottle of fine wine, a wine glass, and a tactical dagger.
-
Alternate Expressions: Includes an interchangeable shouting face plate for his intense battle cries.
-
2. Hero Team: Benimaru Nikaido (Cameo Appearance)
Specific Name: KOF ’98 UM Hero Team Benimaru Nikaido
-
Visual Details: Seen in the arcade diorama image taking a hit from Robert’s flying kick, this character features towering, spiky blonde hair, a black crop top, and white pants.
-
IP Background: Benimaru is a core member of the Hero Team (alongside Kyo Kusanagi). He is a flamboyant fighter who utilizes electricity and a hybrid “shoot boxing” style. His inclusion in the promo shot highlights the endless display possibilities of the JoyToy KOF line.
