One of last week's junk emails from the New Zealand webstore MightyApe.co.nz was advertising this diecast metal Stormtrooper figure from Japan.

It looks quite nice in the photos, but is quite expensive at NZ$149.99 ... and as often with Japanese figures, the head is a bit over-sized.

Star Wars Hybrid Metal Figuration Stormtrooper Diecast Action Figure

This mostly diecast (includes some PVC parts, too) articulated Stormtrooper is ready to take on all comers!

Stands 14cm (5.5") tall and features 20 points of articulation. Includes a blaster carbine and 4 extra hands for a variety of posing possibilities.

Please note: This item ships to us direct from Japan – packaging, promotional materials and booklets may be in Japanese only.

It seems to be the only Star Wars figure in the series so far (and the only one MightyApe.co.nz have listed), but the Japanese Hero Cross company does make other Hybrid Metal Figuration figures:

• #1: Disney Mickey Mouse
• #2: Disney Minnie Mouse
• #3: Disney Mickey Mouse as Toy Story Woody
• #4: DC Comics Batman
• #5: Star Wars Stormtrooper
• #6: Disney Donald Duck

According to the junk email from MightyApe, the Lego Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back DVD is due for release on 20 March (Blu-ray version isn't listed yet) and is currently priced at $19.99 - more details.
