FROM THE HIT SPIKE TV ANIMATED SHOW! Afro Samurai (played by Academy Award nominated Samuel L. Jackson) is an epic tale of a black samurai's hunt for Justice (Ron Pearlman: Hellboy, Alien 3) who murdered his father. Composed by famed artist RZA (Kill Bill, Wu Tang Clan) Afro Samurai blends traditional Japanese culture, funky technology and hip-hop to create a brutally fresh entertainment experience. The Afro Samurai figure stands at 7.25" and features multiple points of articulation and a base.
This awesome set includes:
-1X AFRO SAMURAI=Afro isn't happy about much. Neither would you be if you watched your daddy get killed in a duel when you were just a young boy. But he's smooth as silk when slashing his extra-long blade, and he doesn't really feel badly about cutting up everybody and anybody along the way to his final revenge
-1X JUSTICE Justice is bad to the bone, the #1 fighter in the world, with pistols that can block sword strokes. This chain smoker can't help but add a phlegmy exhale in between super villainous laughs, and he doesn't feel any regret about personally severing the head of Afro Samurai's daddy.
-1X NINJA NINJA=Ninja Ninja is Afro's opposite. Where Afro's got nothing to say and everything to do, Ninja Ninja complains and comments all the time and doesn't do anything to help.
-1X KUMA=Despite the horrible disfigurement that left him trapped under a powerful and twisted mechanical teddy bear helmet, Kuma's two-sword technique is still intact and even further enhanced by his cybernetic implants. But underneath this frighteningly powerful warrior remains the troubled mind of a good friend of Afro whose life was snuffed out too early.
The TV anime series is set in a "futuristic, yet feudal Japan," and stars a samurai named Afro for his hair. The story follows Afro as he relentlessly tries to avenge his father's murder.[9] In the world of Afro Samurai, it is said that the one who becomes "Number One", will rule the world, wielding powers akin to a god. Someone becomes Number One by killing the previous Number One and taking his ceremonial headband. However, the only rule in this world is that only the "Number Two" (also designated by a sacred headband) is allowed to fight the "Number One." The downside of this is that anyone (and typically everyone) can challenge and try to kill the Number Two, to gain the right to move forward and challenge Number One. Afro Samurai's father was the old Number One, until he was challenged by a gunman, "Justice" (who was then Number Two), who fought him in a duel to become the new Number One.
