«©NCSX» In the Jason and the Argonauts movie from 1963 which plays every now and then on free television, there's a scene where Jason and his crew battle a bunch of creaky skeletons. Before the conflict ignites, a weird bearded dude throws a bunch of bone fragments on the ground and from those fragments emerge a gang of skeletal warriors. It was a special scene that took a whopping 4 months for special effects creator Ray Harryhausen to produce and film using stop-motion techniques.
When Max Factory's Revoltech version of the "Skeleton Warrior" ships early next year, toy owners can create their own stop-motion movies featuring a skeletal warrior. The figure can be equipped with a circular shield and a short sword which it wields in its bony grip. Accessories packaged with the toy include a spear, a backdrop with skeletons emerging, extra hands, an extra shield, and an extra forearm with stationary grip. Preorders are welcome to ship in February 2011 at JPY2850 or US$39.90 from NCS.
