If you're obsessed with Usagi Yojimbo and/or statue collecting, then this might be the product for you. However, the 7.5 inch statue, like most collectible statues, is incredibly fragile. It once fell from my three foot tall shelf onto soft carpeting, permanently detaching the Katsuichi figure's feet from the base. I'm impressed that it was a clean break, but no amount of Krazy Glue seems to be able to permanently re-attach it.

If you're looking for a more traditional statue of an older Usagi, you might try the inexpensive and durable 8.75" Usagi Yojimbo Vinyl Figure released by Dark Horse, as well as the 5" Usagi Yojimbo Special Platinum Edition Action Figure made by Antarctic Press. There is also an incredibly nice (and incredibly rare) cold-cast statue of the older Usagi which is of the same high quality as this one, and a series of taller Usagi statues currently available through The official Usagi Yojimbo website.

This is a statue of young Usagi on the shoulder of his fencing master Katsuichi(Victor). I am not sure when in the series Katsuichi has a hair and beard style like he does in the statue but it is still a damn cool 3D rendering of the two characters.
