Check out Devil Toys The Ghost of Kurosawa 1/6th scale Action Figure - Gotta have this!

Akira Kurosawa was a Japanese film director and screenwriter. Regarded as one of the most important and influential filmmakers in the history of cinema, he directed 30 films in a career spanning 57 years. Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, Kurosawa directed approximately a film a year, including a number of highly regarded films such as Ikiru (1952), Seven Samurai (1954) and Yojimbo (1961). After the mid-1960s, he became much less prolific, but his later work—including his final two epics, Kagemusha (1980) and Ran (1985)—continued to win awards, including the Palme d'Or for Kagemusha, though more often abroad than in Japan.


Devil Toys The Ghost of Kurosawa 1/6th scale Action Figure will be up for pre-orders on 14 July 2017 at http://www.deviltoys.com.hk (HK time 11:00 PM). It certainly has a lot of Japanese influence and looks very much like something that would come out of an anime or manga. Liking this a lot!

I first saw the fierce looking Ghost of Kurosawa urban vinyl figure by Quiccs x Flabslab at the Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention (STGCC) 2015 (check out my toy blog post HERE) and I'm really glad to see it being produced as a 1/6th scale figure.
