The armored soldiers who accompanied Kushana, the commander of the Torumekian army who suddenly attacked the Valley of the Wind where Nausicaa lives, as a bodyguard, and symbolized the strength of Torumekia due to their toughness, have been made into action figures as Takeya-style free-standing figurines. Takayuki Takeya has redesigned the heavy armor, which has a design reminiscent of Western armor, but uses ceramic as its material. By incorporating not only the animation settings but also the ideas and designs expressed in the original comic version, it has a realistic feel that resembles a real armor. By adding decorative details and shape expressions to each part, it creates a dignity suitable for being worn by the SS. The Tolmekian Armored Soldier’s characteristic slightly stubby proportions, but also the sturdy proportions that allow it to repel enemy attacks, have been recreated. It also has great action, and by cleverly dividing the connections between the multi-layered armor and arranging the joints, it is possible to pose it in a pose where it swings the sword or ax that it showed in the movie. In addition to the large sword stuck in the side, a battle ax and large shield are included, allowing you to recreate various battle scenes shown in the animation and original work. -The coloring of the armor is expressed by metallic paint. It creates a profound feeling as heavy armor. -The plates around the shoulders and neck are also equipped with movable axes, and a structure that does not interfere with posing is adopted. -Details such as the clasp for fixing the armor and the gambeson (protective jacket) worn inside are also expressed. -Reproduces details that appear in the original comics, such as the belt for hanging the large sword, which has a practical shape with a pouch placed on it. -The chain mail wrapped around the waist is split and movable, allowing the legs to be opened wider than it appears. The grass railing placed at the front of the waist also has a movable shaft at its base. – Although the cloak is a fixed type that prioritizes shape expression, the baseIt is movable and allows for more flashy poses. -Added shapes and details that can be seen in the original comics to the handles of axes and swords. The tip of the ax includes expressions that allow you to imagine the manufacturing method. -The large shield also reproduces the pop-out claw-like gimmick attached to the tip of the shield that appeared in the original comics. It can be expanded and stored.
