■ Features
This is Japan’s first soft-vinyl figure featuring the sinister Rowan, the final boss of the new Ghostbusters movie that released on August 19 in Japan. It’s quite a big one, too, as it stands 30 cm tall. Both the painting and the sculpting is faithful to the movie, and he looks pretty cool especially if displayed with some toy cars to destroy!
