Captain Harlock Collectible Figure with Throne of Arcadia

When I was a kid, my mom would take me to the Philippines, where I’d spend a lot of time with my cousins, who were a bit older than me and big-time anime fans. We’d get a lot of the Japanese shows on TV, just like Looney Toons would show up on TV on the weekend mornings or in the afternoon after school. I know I’ve seen a fair amount of Space Pirate Captain Harlock, but for the life of me I can’t really remember any of it.

Captain Harlock will have two versions to pre-order. One is just the figure, including his weapons and Mr. Bird. The other includes all that plus the Throne of Arcadia. If you recall, this is the same setup that Hot Toys employed for their two upcoming diecast Robocop releases – one with his “dreaming” chair, the other without.

I might have to re-familiarize myself with the series to know if I am interested in the Hot Toys figures. Amazon has the complete Captain Harlock TV series available on DVD. And apparently there is a new Space Pirate Captain Harlock animated feature that’s getting decent nerd-cred reviews and looks pretty too.

Captain Harlock Collectible Figure with Throne of Arcadia

Space Pirate Captain Harlock was a classic manga comics created by the legendary Leiji Matsumoto in the 1970s. The story follows Harlock, an outcast, who has turned into a Space Pirate and led a crew aboard his starship Arcadia to rebel against Earth’s oppressors. Its popularity has led to the creation of an animation series in the 1980s, and this year the story has been remade as an epic CG film and is hitting the theatres.

Hot Toys is excited to present the new 1/6th scale Captain Harlock Collectible Figure with his majestic Throne of Arcadia from the Space Pirate Captain Harlock CG movie. The movie-accurate collectible is finely crafted features a newly developed head sculpt, stylish costume, a meticulously sculpted Throne of Arcadia, weapons and Captain Harlock’s avian friend – Mr. Bird.
