Good Smile Company - Ghost Of Tsushima Jin Sakai Figma Action Figure

Product Information

With its quasi-historical setting and its open world filled with activities and upgrades, comparisons to the Assassin’s Creed games are inevitable, so let’s not beat around the bush: Ghost of Tsushima is extremely reminiscent of many entries in the Ubisoft action franchise and other, similar open-world games, both in terms of its combat and its structure. If you like maps with a lot of icons on them offering up things to do, you’re going to be very happy with this game. The Japanese translation of “divine wind” is “kamikaze.” During World War II, the Japanese government used the myth of the “divine wind,” a force many believed would protect the country from foreign invasion, as propaganda to recruit pilots for suicide missions during the Pacific campaign of the war. These pilots were also referred to as “kamikaze.” What’s very important to realize, though, is that this is not a new debate. Indeed, ever since Days Gone was released in 2019, we’ve been treated to numerous arguments over the quality of the game, its commercial performance, its critical reception, and whether or not those who support and criticize the game are basing their views on some kind of allegiance or bias. It’s been…a lot. At the center of the real invasion of Tsushima Island in 1274 was Kublai Khan, the grandson of Genghis Khan, the infamous first emperor of the Mongol Empire. Kublai Khan was the fifth emperor of the Mongols, whom he ruled from 1260 to 1294. By the time that Kublai Khan decided to invade Japan in an effort to expand his territory further, the Mongol Empire already stretched across most of Asia and parts of Europe. Today, it’s still the largest contiguous land empire in history, although the British Empire remains the largest empire in history in terms of maximum land area.

I valued these quests not for the chance to fight yet another predictable battle, but for the insight they offered into these people’s lives and their philosophies. Particularly memorable are a few quests you can do with Yuriko, Jin’s childhood caretaker, now an elderly woman he has enlisted for her knowledge of poisonous flowers. Her quests offer an opportunity for reflection on memory, decline, and impermanence, and they tie in beautifully with the natural splendor of the island itself. First, the team at Good Smile Company and Max Factory are working on a fully articulated Jin Sakai Figma. While we only have a sneak peek today, we can’t wait for this figure, which features posable joints, swappable heads with and without Jin’s Ghost mask, a cloth cape, and accessories including different sword kits and arrows. We love Figma and we’re excited to show off this early concept, but even more excited to share a more detailed look later this year! Access the Upgrade Pass offer via the in-game prompt on the main menu screen or via the in-game store. Absolutely jaw-dropping. Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most visually-striking games this year and this 1/4 scale representation of The Ghost lives up to that standard. Lord Sakai stands 23 inches tall upon an awe-inspiring windy Tsushima atmosphere, with many elements from video game to fully bring the feeling of 13th century Japan to your collection. The Ginkgo tree leaves move elegantly in the wind as Jin stands at an Inari shrine with his friendly Golden Bird & Fox companions. He wears the Executioner’s Penance armor and holds the Sakai Katana in a pose that would strike fear in any Mongolian invader. This is where things start to get a little complicated. As you can tell by that tweet, Ross is obviously somewhat upset that some are so eager to celebrate Ghost of Tsushima‘s sales success when (as he claims) members of the Bend Studio management team made him feel like Days Gone was a disappointment despite allegedly reaching a similar level of sales success.

As such, protagonist Jin Sakai isn’t based on a historical figure, although some of his actions in the game, such as learning Mongol tactics (the Way of the Ghost) to wage war against the invaders, are inspired by historical events. It was after the Mongol invasion of Japan that the samurai began to adopt advanced weaponry and tactics, such as gunpowder and battle formations over one-on-one duels with enemies. Jin travels across the island of Tsushima, hoping to save it by gathering what few allies remain to aid him in his battles against a formidable enemy. Every year still — this is 700-odd years after the invasion — every year they have a festival, and they commemorate the great battle that took place on Komoda Beach,” Fleming said, who also elaborated on the difficulty of pinpointing what events in history actually happened versus what is a bit more open to interpretation in the texts of the time.

Along with our friends at Funko, we’re happy to reveal two versions of Jin Sakai Funko Pop! Vinyl figures! Both versions measure approximately 3.75 inches tall and feature Jin outfitted in his Ghost Armor, complete with his deadly katana and tanto. You can get the original Jin Sakai figure or get a variant with blood spatter at GameStop. I appreciated that Ghost of Tsushima took the time to make me feel attached to its characters, so that the stakes of what Jin and his allies are fighting for mean something. I enjoyed the honest, revealing conversation over bottles of sake between two comrades-in-arms the night before an overwhelming siege they knew they might not survive — almost as much as I enjoyed the battle itself.This is a world that, for better or worse — worse, if you ask me — lays itself out for you like a buffet crying out to be consumed. Everywhere you go, you’re liable to hear the telltale chirp of a golden bird, eager to lead you to yet another of the game’s hundreds of points of interest, where another collectible or another opportunity for incremental progress toward some upgrade awaits. You’ll free bears from cages so that they can wreak havoc on their captors and make your work a little easier. You might toss smoke bombs to disappear from sight, or throw a wind chime to distract a nearby enemy. It’s not that these elements are bad, of course. They’re all handled well here, offering the same familiar satisfactions I’ve felt in other, similar games in the past, as I’ve leapt from a rooftop to assassinate an enemy from above or fired an arrow at some explosive barrels. It’s not bad — it’s just rote. It’s a shame that Ghost of Tsushima doesn’t put more trust in its setting, because the real reward for exploring Tsushima could have just been taking in all of its picturesque beauty: a tranquil pond overseen by a statue of the Buddha; a dueling circle in which leaves gently fall, red as blood; a grassy field, its gentleness offset by a single, arrow-riddled corpse.

PS4 game disc owners who buy the PS5 Digital Edition disc-free console will not be able to get the PS5 version for the discounted price. Samurai pride themselves on their honor code. But it also makes them rigid. Predictable. Easy to break. The Ghost has no limits. This makes him... dangerous." - Khotun Khan And finally, the incredible team at Prime 1 Studio is hard at work on an absolutely stunning Jin Sakai 1:4 Scale statue. While we can only share this early concept with you today, rest assured that the detail here is truly awesome, with details including a fox and shrine, guide bird, and ginkgo leaves straight from the Golden Forest featured in the game. We can’t wait to share more of this one! Such morally ambiguous heroes are commonplace, of course, but the particular weight of honor and tradition Jin bears allows Ghost of Tsushima to navigate this well-trodden territory in a way that feels distinctive and appropriate to the game’s setting.We hope everyone is looking forward to these, and we’ll have much more to share as the year goes on! Thank you so much to all of you for your support. We can’t believe Ghost of Tsushima is nearly in your hands! Though we see young Jin being taught that a samurai must control his emotions, he is thankfully no stoic hero. He remains open enough about his feelings that we understand how difficult the path that he follows throughout the game becomes for him. He’s assailed both from within, due to his belief that a samurai must conduct himself honorably at all times, and from without, due to the people he loves who still cling to those old ideas expressing their disappointment in his actions. This Deluxe version features a swappable portrait that allows you to display Jin with or without the Ghost mask, as well as a hand switchout allowing you to recreate the epic video game cover art. We have taken the upmost attention to detail into bringing you our first Ghost of Tsushima statue. A true phenomenal masterpiece, this statue will be your favorite for years to come. Enjoy the prodigious feeling that the Ultimate Premium Masterline Jin Sakai will bring to your collection. Kurosawa Mode automatically turns on the game’s Japanese dialogue option, with English subtitles. However, with all the dramatic close-ups the cutscenes indulge in, it’s impossible to ignore that the characters’ lips are synced to English dialogue, not Japanese dialogue. One enemy will step forward to face Jin. If you release a button at the precise moment the enemy strikes, you’ll fell him with a single slash; if your timing is off, you’ll be gravely wounded. Of course, calling out for a direct confrontation with your opponent may be honorable, but it also alerts him and all of his nearby allies to your presence. These are tense, enjoyable moments of death, violence, and honor.

Ghost of Tsushima - Good Smile Company US

Ghost of Tsushima takes players to 13th-century feudal Japan, transporting them to a time when the legendary samurai fought to protect the country from Mongol invaders. Specifically, the game takes place in 1274 during the invasion of Tsushima Island, a real historical event that would mark the start of a Mongol campaign against Japan. That's not to say Days Gone is a bad game. It's been rehabilitated somewhat in the eyes of the fans since its release, and it has an interesting open world. I'm just observing that it's an awkward fit for Sony's "prestige" strategy.— Kat Bailey (@The_Katbot) January 7, 2022 If you own the disc version of Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR’S CUT on PS4™ and a PlayStation®5 console with Blu-Ray disc drive, you can use this Upgrade Pass to get the digital version of Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR’S CUT on PS5™ for an additional cost.The game’s flair for the dramatic also surfaces in the standoff, an option that’s available to you when you first approach a group of enemies. It’s essentially the equivalent of an Old West gunslinger duel, but with samurai swords. If you opt for it, Jin will call out to his foes, challenging them openly and alerting them to his presence. Among the points of interest the golden birds want to guide you to are hot springs that offer permanent health increases; shinto shrines that provide very Assassin’s Creed-style environmental platforming challenges you can complete in exchange for charms that confer passive bonuses; and spots where you compose haiku by selecting lines of poetry via multiple choice to earn cosmetic rewards.
