Daimajin will give you a royal beat down...
...especially if you are a tyrannical war lord in Edo-period Japan. Today we bring you a toy that represents a character from the classic Japanese Kaiju (monster) movie "Daimajin."
In the 1966 movie, Samanosuke, the evil feudal boss of a mountain village, finds himself jealous of his villagers deification of a mysterious antique stone statue of Daimajin, an ancient and vengeful spirit that lives in the mountain. In a classic "this town ain't big enough for the two of us" move, he orders the destruction of the statue. Two of his cronies attempt the demolition by hammering a large chisel into Daimajin's forehead. This unleashes a chain of events which include awakening the statue as a living monster and pretty much result in Samanosuke's ass being served up on a platter.
Relive all the excitement of seeing a mountain deity get seriously pissed-off with this Daimajin action figure which has some really cool accessories like metal chains, a sword, a chisel and Samanosuke, with a look on his face indicating he just might have re-evaluated his life choices. It's The Toy of the Week!
