The Star Wars Meisho Movie Realization Continues

New York Comic-Con has come and gone, and with it our Tamashii Nations Star Wars display at the Crystal Palace, located inside the Javits Center. There we had a life-size Meisho Darth Vader replica, complete with wearable samurai armor. Each day attendees of all ages lined up to have their photos taken with the dark lord.

Hopefully you had a chance to swing by our booth and check in with us to see what's in store for our Star Wars samurai figures.
