AFRO SAMURAI - POP Animation N° 2296 - Afro Samurai

This vinyl figure represents the main protagonist, Afro, based on his appearance in the animated series and manga of the Afro Samurai licence.

This model reproduces the visual characteristics of the swordsman using the graphic style typical of the Funko POP! range, with an oversized head and simplified body. The warrior is shown standing in a stoic posture, sporting his huge black afro haircut, two cloth headbands floating at the back of his head and his traditional ronin outfit of white top and dark hakama. He is equipped with his moulded katana, which he holds firmly in his hand or scabbard. The marking under the figure's name on the packaging reads "Vinyl Figure", which designates a figure with a fixed head.

Designed primarily for display on a shelf, on a desk or in a shop window, this collector's item comes in its original cardboard packaging, with a transparent window to allow the figure to be viewed without opening the box.

Created by Takashi Okazaki, Afro Samurai evolves in a futuristic, feudal post-apocalyptic world governed by the law of the strongest and the cult of swords. In this universe, the wearer of the "Number 1" headband is considered the equal of a god, untouchable by anyone except the holder of the "Number 2" headband. After witnessing the brutal murder of his father (the former Number 1) by the ruthless Justice as a child, Afro devotes his entire life to the art of swordsmanship and an obsessive quest for revenge. As an adult, now wearing the Number 2 headband, he must battle relentless waves of bounty hunters, elite warriors and cybernetic clones to fight his way to the top and claim the ultimate title.
