Ninja Scroll Figures Named

Palisades Marketing has posted information about their upcoming release of Ninja Scroll action figures. The following statement was made on their web site.

Beginning in early 2001 the combined forces of Palisades Marketing and Mars Colony will begin releasing several ultra cool products to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Yoshiaki Kawajiri’s cult classic anime feature Ninja Scroll. “From the first time I saw Ninja Scroll I thought these characters would be perfect for an action figure line. Now I’m fortunate enough to be help make this “fan boys” dream come true,” said Mike Renegar, Palisades Executive Vice President. Steve Ortiz, Vice President of The Mars Colony, stated, “We are honored to be working with Animation Studio Mad House on this the first of several lines based on Mr. Kawajiri’s master works. Furthermore, to be working with Palisades, a company which sets the standards for detail and quality in this industry, assures that this will be one of the best anime lines ever produced!” Still in it’s planning stages, the first action figure line-up will include Jubei, the reluctant hero for hire, Kagero, the brooding female ninja of the Koga clan, Tessai, the stony monstrosity with a boomerang sword, Shijima, master of stealth and misdirection who strikes from the shadows with his metal claw and Mushizo, the disfigured dwarf that houses a swarm of wasps in his misshapen back.

“We hope that anime fans around the world will be as happy as we are about all the great Ninja Scroll stuff we have coming up,” commented Josh “Solid” Gold, Palisades sales manager. “I have seen the first few designs and they look fantastic.” Keep checking back to both our web site & the Mars Colony web site for more information as it is revealed.
