Hot Toys interviewed ªQ¥»¹s¤h.
Ebglish version:
Following the interview session with Mr.
Shinji Armaki, the Director of the Space Pirate Captain Harlock 3D CG
movie, Hot Toys is honored to have an interview with the original
creator of the Space Pirate Captain Harlock manga, the legend himself, ¡V
Mr. Leiji Matsumoto*. Hot Toys (HT): What do you think of Hot
Toys¡¦ Captain Harlock figure based on the latest ¡§Space Pirate Captain
Harlock¡¨ CG animation movie? Leiji Matsumoto (LM): Extremely wonderful! If Harlock exists in the
real world, he would look just like this figure. The clothing texture
is very good and I love the rag effects on his cape. Wouldn't it be cool
if each figure¡¦s cape is damaged slightly differently? I also love the
addition of the Throne of Arcadia. HT: It sure looks like this figure and the CG animation designs are very close to your original creation, aren¡¦t they?
LM: Yes, maybe except for the hair color¡K My original Harlock has
darker brown hair! (laughs) But this figure is based on the newest CG
animation, so it¡¦s correct as it is now. HT: Hot Toys also
paid a lot of attention to the weapons and accessories, what do you
think of the execution in the eyes of the original creator? LM: It is actually quite amazing that Harlock¡¦s gun and gravity saber are recreated so faithfully by Hot Toys. HT: What does the Harlock character represents to you?
LM: He is the most ¡§human¡¨ of all Earthlings, Harlock is the ambassador
of humanity throughout the galaxies¡K He is a symbol that proves that it
is no longer meaningful to fight between humans or Earth nations. His
skull is not a threatening or scaring symbol, but more a statement that
he will fight to his last bone for his beliefs. Harlock is all about
will power and honor, I hope that such beliefs can be remembered by
anyone that looks at this figure worldwide. HT: What other characters would you like Hot Toys to create a figure of?
LM: I would love to display this Harlock next to a Queen Emeraldas and I
wouldn't mind seeing Tochiro too. But I would also want Hot Toys to
create figures based on some of my initial creations, such as
¡§Sexaroid¡¨** and ¡§Maria of The Silver Valley¡¨***, two of my favorite
older works. HT: Any other messages you would like to say to your fans?
LM: Let¡¦s all have dreams and cherish them! Great people have dreams,
and thus never destroy other¡¦s dreams. As such, we can all enjoy our
future together and live in peace regardless of whichever flag one is
living under on Earth. This is the Harlock ideal.
