Hot Toys has announced a new 1/6 scale figure Goemon Ishikawa based on the upcoming movie in Japan. Ishikawa Goemon (石川 五衛門 or 石川 五右衛門, 1558-1594) was a legendary ninja warrior and bandit hero who stole gold and valuables and gave them to the poor. There is little historical information on Goemon's life, and thus he has become a folk hero, whose background and origins have been widely speculated upon. He is notable for being boiled alive after a failed assassination attempt on Toyotomi Hideyoshi. A large iron kettle-shaped bathtub is now called a Goemon-buro (Goemon-bath).
