Description
[Product Introduction] Hot Toys' "Movie Masterpiece" series welcomes Captain Harlock, the epic film that revived the masterpiece by manga artist Leiji Matsumoto as a 3DCG animation 30 years later. The legendary space pirate Captain Harlock makes his appearance! For 100 years, Captain Harlock has rebelled against the government. He was once a hero who protected Earth, an inviolable territory, as a soldier of the "Gaia Sanction," an organization that governed 500 billion people scattered throughout the universe. However, he rebelled after the end of a certain war. Since then, as the widely wanted criminal S-00999, he has become an enemy of the entire universe, piloting the space pirate ship Arcadia, which has a giant skull carved on its bow, and repeatedly attacking the Allied Fleet. What is his true purpose? In this age of decline, a battle for the future of humanity is about to begin. Standing approximately 32 centimeters tall and featuring over 30 points of articulation, this figure perfectly recreates the appearance of the space pirate Captain Harlock. The head sculpt, with its striking, deep gaze that harbors inner turmoil, is so well-made that it looks as if it stepped right out of the movie, and has received the seal of approval from director Shinji Aramaki. Every detail, from his trademark eyepatch to his scars, has been meticulously hand-painted. The body uses a newly developed physique specifically for Harlock. The costume, faithfully reproduced from the original, features a collared cape, a suit adorned with a skull mark on the chest, and boots that reach above the knees, with meticulous attention to detail and materials, resulting in an exquisite finish down to the texture. Weapons include the familiar warrior's gun, the gravity saber. A variety of interchangeable hand parts are included, allowing you to recreate various action scenes from the film. Additionally, "Tori-san," an indispensable character from Leiji Matsumoto's works, is also included. A special display stand is included, allowing you to recreate the scene from the film where the figure perches on Harlock's shoulder – a welcome bonus. Captain Harlock, a key character in Leiji Matsumoto's world, still leaves a powerful impression. This item, which perfectly captures the charm of the "legendary space pirate" and brings him back to life 30 years later without compromising his original appearance, is the ultimate collector's item that neither new nor old fans should miss! *This product will also be released with a "Skull Chair."

【Work Introduction】
'Captain Harlock' (2013) "Space Pirate Captain Harlock," a popular comic by Leiji Matsumoto often compared to the "Galaxy Express 999" series, has been adapted into a 3DCG anime for the first time in approximately 30 years. With a total production cost of $30 million, the film features a screenplay by bestselling author Harutoshi Fukui, known for works such as "Lorelei," and is directed by Shinji Aramaki, known for "Ex Machina." The voice cast is also star-studded, with Shun Oguri as Harlock, Haruma Miura as Yama, and Yu Aoi as Mime. The story takes place 100 years after the "Come Home War," in which humanity, scattered throughout the universe, fought over the return to Earth. Yama, a young man, is given a secret mission to assassinate Captain Harlock, a former Space Fleet Colonel who is now a feared, widely wanted fugitive. He successfully infiltrates the space pirate battleship Arcadia, which Harlock pilots. Yama, concealing his true identity as a rookie crew member, was waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Harlock, but he eventually learns Harlock's true purpose, the true nature of the Arcadia, and the secret hidden within Earth, humanity's hope. http://harlock-movie.com/
