Celebration Anaheim: Collectibles Update Panel – Tamashii Nations

Tamashii Nations has already announced the Samurai inspired versions of Darth Vader and Stormtrooper and their presentation at Celebration Anaheim continued in that theme. Called Movie Realization, Tamashii Nations figures are in the 1:2 (6″) scale and are highly detailed and articulated with paint applications that highlight the care that was taken with each figure.

The next figure in their Movie Realization line will be a Sandtrooper. Teased during their panel on Thursday, hosted by Anita Castellar, were Stormtrooper Foot Soldiers and a Royal Guard. They also spoke about a Ronin Samurai inspired by Boba Fett.

While the Foot Solders and Royal Guard were not on display at the Tamashii Nations booth, artwork on the booth backdrop did include those characters.

Also on display at the booth were the Egg Attack figures and the already-released die-cast C-3PO. One item that was getting attention was the katana lightsaber 1:1 replica at the booth. It’s based on the Darth Vader lightsaber katana that’s included with the Movie Realization figure. Unfortunately, there are no plans to release that as a retail product.
