AX2 - INU AND SARU - YOJIMBO

Following on from the great success of the Boom! Series 2 Rei release comes, Yojimbo

I don't have the full back story of this release, but below is taken from AX2....

I shall killeth those who dareth toucheth mineth mast'r!

by Shusuke/ Yojimbo from the tribe of Saru

Yojimbo is my job. The members of Inu teased me, saying what I do is reminiscent of a watchdog that guards the entrance of Saru, but I pay them no heed. My life belongs to my mast'r. A grateful dog is no doubt far nobler than those crude, thankless goshi.

Additional Info:

YOJIMBO means bodyguards, the job is usually taken by the more destitute rank of Samurai, such as the Ronin. Yet the attire of a Saru sergeant ought to be glamorous, so even a mere bodyguard's garments would appear more extravagant than that of usual corporals. The Saru people do not tolerate any dishevelment in clothing- a set of elegant, organized attire represents the frontage of the entire Saru clan.

GOSHI means the lowest rank of samurai

OneSixthBruce 1/6 figure of 2013..

Up until a few weeks ago, my figure of the year for 2013 would of been the iMINIme Wall Street Killer... Such an awesome custom 1/6 figure, we didn't sell that many but once it was released and people started seeing in hand images, we had emails asking to buy, unfortunately we sold out.

BUT with receiving the preorders from AX2 Studios of their first big production release of Boom! #2 Rei, I had to change my mind.... Sorry Denny!!

Its #2 as there was a previous release called Boom! Series No.1 Armor and Rei which I'm sure was released in ultra limited editions.

Back to Boom! #2, well the TNT truck arrived very early one morning in December and could not wait break down the pallet to see what the production was like from AX2.

First box I opened was going to be mine..... I got edition 77/250, I lifted out the foam cover and WOW... was met with such an awesome 'custom' figure, very anime looking hair, great paint application, with a hint of threeA TK in the style and execution, I was bowled over by it, not many figures I open first hand has given me such a wow factor.

Any way, its my opinion so you may disagree! so I'll let the images do the talking.....

Following images are from my friend AmonLin, as the images are way better than mine!
