S.H. Figuarts is a line of action figures by Bandai Namco under its Tamashii Nations label. Designed for collectors, the line features highly articulated, action figures based on characters from various franchises including Dragon Ball, My Hero Academia, and One Piece. Nintendo has also collaborated with the brand, such as with the Super Mario range of figures.
On October 2012, Tamashii Nations was revealed to have obtained the license to produce Pokémon figures under the D-Arts line.[1] In April 2014, the D-Arts line was folded into the S.H.Figuarts brand and all future Pokémon releases and reissues were released under that line.[2]
Under Pokémon figures have been released under the Tamashii Nations label, such as in the Chogokin line of figures.

Mewtwo
D-Arts Mewtwo was first D-Arts Pokémon that was first revealed on October 2012[1] It is a high-end collector's action figure produced by Bandai under their Tamashii Nations brand and released on May 2013. Based on the character's appearance in the film Mewtwo Strikes Back, this figure was designed to be a "stylish" and highly poseable representation of the Genetic Pokémon. The initial release came with a Shadow Ball effect piece, a display stand, and a non-articulated accessory of Mew that could be plugged into the display stand.[3]
For the release of Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, a new -Arts Remix- version of the original figure was released in the S.H.Figuarts line. This new release contains newly-engineered wrists, a new alternative head, and a recolored Shadow Ball effect piece. This release also does not contain the Mew accessory. Pre-orders for this figure went up on February 01, 2019 and released on June 22, 2019.[4]

Also, new additional head sculpt was added, allowing Blastoise to look to the side. Finally, the two Hydro Pump effect parts have been cast in a translucent blue plastic as opposed to the simple clear plastic from before. This retooled figure was released on October 19, 2019.[11]
