Fans of Gintama have a reason to celebrate once again—“Ginpachi-sensei,” the beloved alternate version of Gintoki, is coming back in figure form. The new G.E.M. Series Sakata Ginpachi Reiwa Ver. will launch in January 2026 as an AmiAmi exclusive limited edition. This article breaks down everything you need to know, from price and accessories to preorder details, so you won’t miss your chance to secure this unique collectible.
A Beloved Teacher Returns With a Collectible Twist
The “3-nen Z-gumi Ginpachi-sensei” spinoff of Gintama was a fan-favorite parody that turned Gintoki into a quirky high school teacher. Now, Megahouse is reviving that charm with a brand-new figure: Sakata Ginpachi Reiwa Ver. Fans who grew up watching Gintama will immediately recognize the character’s laid-back yet mischievous aura, carefully captured in this sculpt.
Details on the G.E.M. Series Ginpachi-sensei Figure
The figure stands approximately 220mm tall and is crafted from PVC and ABS. Faithful to the anime’s design, the paintwork replicates the classroom feel, and the sculpt includes playful accessories. The default pose features Ginpachi-sensei holding his favorite books, “Jump” and “Yoi Ko no Kokugo.” But collectors can swap parts to display him holding a slice of cake instead—a fun nod to his more carefree side.
January 2026 Release Date and Pricing Information
The official release date is set for January 2026, with a suggested retail price of 17,600 yen (tax included). As with many G.E.M. Series collectibles, quantities are expected to be limited, making early reservations highly recommended.
AmiAmi Exclusive Sales Channels and Availability
This figure is distributed as an AmiAmi exclusive, meaning it will not be widely available through standard retailers. Fans can place orders directly via AmiAmi’s online shop or at their physical stores through the AmiAmi Real Store site. Limited circulation ensures rarity, so fans outside Japan may need to rely on proxy services to secure their copy.
Accessories That Capture Ginpachi-sensei’s Charm
The extra arm part and alternative cake accessory make this release particularly versatile. Whether you prefer the iconic “teacher with textbooks” look or a lighthearted cake-in-hand version, the figure offers options that capture different sides of Ginpachi-sensei’s personality.
Why Fans Still Treasure Ginpachi-sensei in 2025
Even years after Gintama’s broadcast ended, Ginpachi-sensei remains a nostalgic icon. For longtime fans, this Reiwa Ver. bridges the gap between past memories and today’s collector culture. It’s not just a figure—it’s a reminder of how Gintama’s humor and characters continue to live on with each new generation.
