Banpresto DXF Figurine — Digimon — Yamato Ishida & Gabumon (Adventure Archives) 15cm
This superb collectable figurine from the specialist DXF-Adventure Archives range by the renowned brand Banpresto immortalises one of the most iconic brotherly duos in the digital universe: the Chosen Child Yamato Ishida (Matt) and his faithful partner Gabumon.
The figure stands approximately 15 cm tall, an ideal collector’s size for display on a shelf or to complement the Taichi and Agumon figurine from the same collection. The meticulous design captures all the emotion of the original animated series, depicting Yamato sitting in a relaxed pose whilst the small, furry dinosaur Gabumon nestles affectionately against his human partner. The high-quality PVC plastic sculpture benefits from meticulous attention to detail, faithfully capturing the teenager’s spiky blond hair, his green sleeveless T-shirt, and the azure blue striped pattern of Gabumon’s famous protective fur. The paintwork strictly adheres to the vibrant and nostalgic colour scheme of the original work.
This officially licensed merchandise is an essential item for those nostalgic for the 1990s, fans of virtual adventures, and collectors of Banpresto’s products. The set is supplied mounted on its textured display base inside an illustrated printed box.

Origin and character background (Lore)
Introduced in 1999 in the cult animated series *Digimon Adventure*, Yamato Ishida is a solitary, mysterious and mature boy, chosen to enter the mystical DigiWorld alongside six other children. Wearer of the Crest of Friendship, he hides a deep sensitivity behind a distant demeanour, proving fiercely protective of his younger brother T.K. His digital partner, Gabumon, is a Disciple-level Digimon of absolute loyalty, who spends his time disguised in a Garurumon’s fur to overcome his own shyness. Together, sharing an unshakeable bond and united by the harmonious vibrations of Yamato’s harmonica, they overcome the psychological and physical trials of the virtual world. Their pure spiritual bond enables Gabumon to break through his genetic barriers and evolve into powerful creatures such as Garurumon, WereGarurumon and the divine MetalGarurumon, establishing themselves as the indispensable guardians of the balance between the digital world and the real world.
