Hello.
Roku here.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
I’m sure that melody went through your head just then.
Yes, this must be the guidance of the Force.
May the Force be with you...
Right, a new Star Wars product has arrived.
From the Gentle Giant, the Mini-Bust series Death Trooper!
It’s by Gentle Giant, so you can be sure of the quality.
And as expected from Gentle Giant, they’ve productized the minor characters that the deep fans just love.
Anyway, the Death Trooper is the appearance of a Storm Trooper, turned into a zombie.
Wonder if it’s trying to carry out it’s duties even after death?
There are quite some damages all over it.
It’s even taken a great blow on the rib. (Oh yeah,
Nijimura Okuyasu also had taken a blow on the rib too. Superfly, so fearsome...)
The damage on the left arm is quite severe too. (though Okuyasu would be fine as long as he has his right arm.)
There are many scratches and cracks on the armor as well.
The details are very finely reproduced.
There are only 2500 of this Mini-bust in the world.
A limited production of 2500.
And...
This is also included. It comes inside the box.
If you are wondering what that is... it’s the "Death Trooper" novel.
Such wonderful item is included.
The cover really has a gloomy design; it will surely go well displayed with your horror goods.
And of course, the Death Trooper novel is in English. So naturally, it’s completely filled with English. Not a single Japanese character in sight...
And unfortunately, Roku’s level of English is just as horrific as the Death Trooper itself.
I want to read it...
Yet I can’t read it...
At a time like this, all we can do is to rely on the Force, right?
I’m sure the Force will guide me...
Hmmmm, I wish someone like Obi-Wan would randomly appear and translate for me...
Oh, this Obi-Wan Kenobi is from the Ultimate Series by Diamond Select.
By pressing his stomach, apparently he says something like "That’s something a Sith would do".
They are both low on stock...
And for the Death Trooper, there are only 2500 of them in the world.
Not to mention Roku has already bought one of them.
That leaves 2499 left in the world...
By Roku (When I thought I wanted it, I had already purchased it... I saw the book cover peeking through the back of the box... and I was already taking money out of the wallet without realization...
There is also a side story called the Legend of Obi-Wan.
I’ve finished reading it recently...
And it was a tear breaker.
There were more tears flowing than Okuyasu, when the stand "Pearl Jam" used its ability to make him cry.
I get teary thinking about it even now.
The ending with Obi-Wan and Anakin... I’m sure you will cry too.)
