25th Anniversary Usagi stuff!


Aren't these cool? They are statues of the Usagi Yojimbo characters. From Roku Toys.
They are awfully expensive, at $89 apiece and $399 for the set.
Here's the PR material:
Star Wars Master Sculptor, Tony McVey sculpted these highly detailed polystone statues in time to celebrate the 25th year anniversary of Usagi Yojimbo. This eagerly anticipated line of statues is sure to delight fans of all ages.
Unfortunately, they were delayed and won't start shipping until January:
Yes, we know it's a drag and we're very, very sorry for the delay. Due to unforeseen manufacturing circumstances, the release of the "Usagi Yojimbo - Series One" collection will be delayed until January, 2010.
Here are some more preview images.
If the statues cost too much for you, go buy some of the comics. "Usagi" is one of my favorite comic books.
Also in celebration of the 25th anniversary, Stan Sakai wrote a fully painted a new graphic novel, called "Yokai." Yours for a little less than $11 on Amazon.com. Here's some preview art.
