Medicom is giving fans of anime and the critically acclaimed film Jin-Roh a chance to revisit the dark, thought-provoking world of an alternate post-World War II Japan with the Jin-Roh Kubrick, available through Diamond Comic Distributors.
Considered to be the last great anime film of the 20th century (or the first great one of the 21st century), Jin-Roh (subtitled The Wolf Brigade) presents an uncompromising world where Japan lost World War II ? not to the Allied forces, but to the Nazi regime. Directed by Hiroyuki Okiura, who honed his skills on anime classics Akira and Ghost in the Shell, the film is considered a masterpiece and a must-see for any fan of anime. The buzz is loud in the anime community, and this Kubrick will satisfy the excitement of fans of anime and collectible merchandise.
Imported from Japan, this "Panzer Cop"-style Kubrick features small details not found on your usual Kubrick. These figures were originally limited edition items available exclusively through the Medicom Toy Collectors Club in Japan. Featuring the main character, Kazuki Fuse, the "Big Bad Wolf" himself, the Kubrick has removable body armor pieces and a machine gun accessory. Also featured are two different head modes: with or without helmet. Each figure is individually boxed and will be ready to ship March 2002.
