Tamashii Nations Movie Realization Series: Taiko Stormtrooper

 

As the end of this year lurches closer, thoughts begin to turn to upcoming figure releases, and it seems that perhaps no other line that the Coffin collects is set to be more prolific in 2019 than this one. A number of Star Wars characters have been revealed, including New Trilogy characters and most recently, a totally cool looking IG-88, as well as some others from the concurrent Marvel line, which is not on my radar, aside from the just-revealed and STUNNING Black Panther. But, there is a backlog of Tamashii Nations Star Wars figures around here, so let’s try to do something about that with this, the taiko drummer Stormtrooper.

Super behind on these awesome figures, let’s take a look at one my wife got me for my birthday over the summer: Ronin Boba Fett. As was detailed several months ago with Samurai General Darth Vader, this line of roughly 8” figures takes Star Wars characters and reimagines them in the aesthetic of feudal Japan. Ronin were unattached samurai that traveled around seeking employment, which sounds pretty bounty hunterish to me.

 This is something really exciting, and I have been really excited to share it with you all. Now that the semester is over and I have some time before summer classes begin, I finally have a chance.

The Tamashii Nations Movie Realization Series is a general series of figures depicting Star Wars and Marvel characters in a feudal Japanese style. Wild, I know. They are generally pretty well jointed and capable of easy posing, and are incredibly highly detailed. They are approximately 8” tall, and come with a load of extra hands and accessories.
