Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Takeya Style KT036 Horseclaw (Vai Emperor's Guard) Exclusive Action Figure

Product Description

Dressed in golden armor, the blink-footed Horseclaw protecting the noble king is three-dimensional! Hayao Miyazaki drew the original manga and directed the anime film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Takayuki Takeya redesigned the Horseclaw that showed its brave appearance and made it into an action figure with "Takeya-style flexible figurines".

In order to make Horseclaw, a fictional creature with strong legs that can carry humans and luggage and gallop like a horse, convincing, details reminiscent of real creatures have been added with Takeya-style figurines. While retaining features such as near-black feathers, a long neck, and a large swollen beak, it is three-dimensional by balancing the skeletal shape and form typical of birds. By molding the feathers one by one, we pursue a more bird-like presence. The toes were added with biological details in a shape that was both as sharp as a bird of prey and as powerful as an ostrich. It is an item that expresses a fictional creature with an approach that makes it seem like a real thing, with an arrangement unique to Takayuki Taketani, while keeping the image in the play as it is.

Assuming that the guards guarding King Vai, who rules Tolmekia, will ride while wearing heavy armor, Triuma expresses the appearance of wearing armor parts that are set to be made of ceramic on the head, neck, and buttocks. Its armor is painted golden, similar to the armor worn by King Vu's Guard.

41 places of the whole body are movable. The neck is arranged so that the articular structure connected by 9 ball joints is covered with 8 scale-like armor parts, realizing the free movement of the neck. It is possible to add various facial expressions, such as lifting the head greatly and keeping the neck straight when sprinting. The large swollen beak opens and closes, and a tongue is also attached inside.

The [surface] that protects the head has been added with details of the inner lining, giving it a practical atmosphere even when viewed from the rear. At the rear of the saddle is an additional armor to protect the back.

The legs have 13 movable parts on one leg and can be used for various poses. The front three fingers of the toe part are fully movable to move the first and second joints, and it is possible to reproduce everything from stepping firmly on the ground to kicking the ground forcefully and galloping.

Horseclaw's body is fitted with reins, stirrups, saddles, and leg bands that protect the legs, and each part has a different expression of the texture. In addition, it can be combined with the "Takeya Type Flexible Figurine Tolmekia Armored Soldier King Vu Guards Ver." (not included). By replacing it with the attached waist joint parts, it can also be mounted. A sword with a shape with a fan-shaped sword tip for Tolmekian armored cavalry, a special scabbard, and a pedestal for display are included.
