They’re making a 1/6 scale Golgo 13 action figure with a briefcase containing a disassembled custom M-16? And it’s $200? Man, that’s nothing. I can totally sell a kidney for way more than that.

Just don’t stand behind him.
There was a girl in my Japanese study sessions with a Golgo 13 Kewpie doll keychain. Talk about two not so great tastes that taste horrible together…
Pray tell, who are “they?” Because if “they” are Japanese, that’s very good news for me. I promised my wife I wouldn’t buy an Xbox but this…this is gold.
I would be scared to display this figure in my room. It might start sniping my personal possessions.
At any rate, an amazing figure.
mrbuu82: Only after raping them of course. I first saw Golgo 13 as a fan dub that was straight Japanese with NO subtitles. It was pretty bizarre. Basically Kill/Sex/Kill/Sex/Drive a Crappy Car/ Repeat… with a dash of that crazy guy that magically kills somehow. Cue fancy 3D Helicopter sequence!
Oh right, the chopper sequence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJxPjUo5-cI
I am going to bet you did not miss much from the lack of subtitles. Duke Togo is a man of few words and no one else really seems to say anything except “I am going to kill/sleep with you, Mr. Togo”.
“There was a girl in my Japanese study sessions with a Golgo 13 Kewpie doll keychain. Talk about two not so great tastes that taste horrible together…”
Really? Because from where I’m sitting I’m thinking MARRY THAT GIRL.
…
Man, Duke Togo don’t gotta rape a lady. They tumble cheerfully into bed with him, drawn by his icy, implacable exterior…and his legendary sex organ.
Also, this figure is at least being distributed in the U.S.
I just got a wonderful image in my head of a Golgo 13 figure making its way through the aisles of Toys R’ Us and getting into fights with wrestling figures and G.I. Joes.
Er.. could you maybe link to the source o’ this news? In case folk want more than to see a picture and then go searching on their own? =p
I remember reading some bio they had in the back of one of the Golgo 13 collections. It went into great deal about his uh, legendary sex organ. Apparently not even a gun being pointed at him can cause him to, uh, put it away.

That reminds me, a new retro videogames store opened near me (which is amazing for a dull place like Kalamazoo, MI) and they had a copy of Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode for $5. I didn’t get it because I don’t own a NES (I will someday, dammit), but hearing Retronauts fondly discuss the game despite all of its faults made me want to own it nonetheless.

Wait a second. Does… does that M-16 actually assemble into something he can hold? That really IS the best toy ever.
Oh, and to save a moment, more shots over at http://www.destructoid.com/duke-togo-gets-a-hot-toys-makeover-presenting-golgo13-113738.phtml. Uh, assuming the spam filter doesn’t take that as an advertisement.
@Goldbronco: I am currently playing through the Mafat Conspiracy. There are a lot of obnoxious mazes in both games, but the rest of the game is pretty enjoyable.
