Figure maker MegaHouse is adding Yowamushi Pedal's lanky Yūsuke Makishima to its Palmate line. The figure line is dubbed such because the figures fit in your palm.

Yūsuke measures 80mm (3in) high. He's depicted crouching in his Sohoku High School cycling club uniform with an interested expression on his face.

Pre-orders will open on Thursday for 3,078 yen (US$26). The figure will ship in January. MegaHouse is also planning Palmate versions of Sakamichi Onoda, Yasutomo Arakita, and Jinpachi Tōdō.

MegaHouse's other palm-size figures include Ace of Diamond's Ryōsuke Kominato, Haruichi Kominato, Kazuya Miyuki, and Eijun Sawamura.

The Yowamushi Pedal movie opened in theaters in Japan on August 28. A third television anime series based on Wataru Watanabe's manga is green-lit.
