The weird world of Japanese anime figures, 3

Not quite Japanese anime, but they are figures, and they are from Japan. Who even knows who these characters are??

So besides massive success of Avengers in Japan, and Kingdom Hearts III potentially adding some Goerge Lucas and Marvel goodness to their repertoire, there are also figures (figma even) of some amazing Disney + Marvel figures going on. Check them out!

Darth Vader Samurai?! This figure is sold at J-List. our unofficial partner. Feel free to browse their wares and other Star Wars goods they have on sale!

Thor and Captain America Figma poses, just like the Japanese like them.

Does the pure hubris of Iron Man resonate with the Japanese psyche? 



What do you think? Where does American cartoonage/comics come into play in the Japanese world? Are you a weeaboo or a westaboo? Only time can tell...
