【TAROMAN】 Is that pose really necessary??? The viral Taroman is perfectly recreated with ultra-smooth articulation! So flexible he's truly Taroman! The “Taroman” Bendable Action Figure is here!

Taroman, famous for the catchphrase “Art is Explosion!”, has arrived as a movable figure. And it's not just any action figure. This is a bendable action figure where the arms, legs, and even the torso can be bent fluidly. In other words, you can recreate all those “haphazard” poses Taroman showed in the show with your own hands. From flying poses to nonsensical yet charming relaxed poses, it's all up to you. It's too good to just leave on display—this is a figure whose true value is found in moving it.

First, you'll be amazed by the “Golden Mask” and “11 Taro Horns,” which are the icons of Taroman. The sculpting of these parts is incredibly meticulous and realistic. The Taroman you saw on the TV screen is recreated exactly in palm-sized form. And we mustn't forget the “Taro Eyes.” The three eyes positioned on the chest and both hands are somewhat mystical, giving you a strange feeling as you gaze at them. This dedicated craftsmanship conveys the creators' “Taroman Love,” which is delightful to see.

Behind the creation of this figure is, of course, the enthusiastic popularity of “TAROMAN: Okamoto Taro Style Tokusatsu Drama” broadcast on NHK E-Tele in 2022. Created with the concept of “What if a show like this existed in the 70s?”, the program caused a huge stir on social media despite being only 5 minutes long. And this summer, the movie “Feature-length Taroman: Expo Giant Explosion” was finally released. With the figure arriving at such a perfect time, even non-fans won't be able to resist picking it up.

When you hear “action figure,” you might think it's just for sitting on a shelf, but this Taroman is different. Because of its flexible body with internal wires, you can enjoy posing it differently every day to direct your own “Art is Explosion!”. A heroic stance today, a limp philosophical pose tomorrow. There's a new discovery every time you play with it. This feeling is quite addictive.

The true charm of this figure might be that it is “not neatly ordered.” It's haphazard, eccentric, and nonsensical. But that is exactly what makes it Taroman, and at the same time, it is Taro Okamoto's artistic philosophy itself. That's why just having this figure on a corner of your desk or a bookshelf makes daily life a bit more interesting. Whether as a figure, a piece of art, or a conversation starter, it's well worth having.
