Tamashii Nations Movie Realization Star Wars First Order figures

Up to now the Tamashii Nations Movie Realization range of Star Wars figures has stuck to the Original Trilogy with the odd foray into the Prequels for figures like Darth Maul and Jango Fett. Now the line is going all out for the Sequals with four new figures revealed at Tokyo Comic Con.

The Realization line takes the characters we love and designs them as though they existed in Feudal Japan. This means Samurai inspired armour and weaponry as well as ornately decorated helmets. Translating this to The First Order is a natural step, and like their Original Trilogy counterparts the First Order Troopers look pretty good. There were three on display - an Ashigaru (foot soldier) standard trooper. A Teppo Ashigaru / Heavy Gunner and a Commander with orange Pauldron.

To lead your troops we get the Captain herself, Phasma. And commanding all of them was the Kylo Ren figure. This one appears to have lost something in translation and on first look is not as impressive as previous Sith figures like Vader and Maul. You do however have to be impressed by his broadsword which looks spectacular.
