Freekin sweet.... Hot Toys has been making me VERY happy lately between this and Goemon....

I got no interest in this figure what so ever, but that looks pretty sweet. Though I am kinda surprised that HT doesn't make more figures based on HK movie. I was sure something like chow yun fat from a better tomorrow would have been made by now. Does this mean a japanese based character translate to better sales than HK based character?

The face paint application are unreal.

Here's the movie trailer:

I'm not impressed by the look of the movie. But I'd like to be surprised.

The actor who plays the lead role in Kamui Gaiden, Ken'ichi Matsuyama, also starred in the live action Death Note movie, which I really liked (I also like the manga and anime of which the movie is adapted from).

The figure looks great, would go well next to the Goemon figures.

It does look fantastic. Some of that will be lost in transition to the final production figure, unfortunately.

I wish Hot Toys would do Zatoichi.
