Dunny 8″ Raku Night and Day
by Huck Gee
They are finally here! This Thursday, May 26th, we will be releasing the Raku Night and Raku Day Dunnys by Huck Gee. Due to a limited supply and a high demand for these two fearsome figures there will be a limit of one Day and one Night version per person. At a run of only 500 pieces per version the Raku Dunny will be selling for $100.00 each. We will be here at the GUNNZO store in San Diego at 11:00 am PST to release the figures both online and in the store. If you decide to show up early then please, no biting, scratching, spot saving, or cutting in line.
As a young pup, Raku Narazumono witnessed the brutal execution of his mother and father. Their taxes were past due – the late fee, their lives. Dragged to the magistrate’s palace, young Raku was enslaved, forced to clean the gutters and sewers of the mountainside estate. His days were spent toiling in filth, praying for divine deliverance, and studying every inch of the compound.
While silently contemplating his wishes one dark morning, a shaft of light pierced the clouds, shining down to illuminate a prayer-sword – an answer from the kami. His salvation. With righteous fury in his breast, Raku hid in the palace privy awaiting his revenge… he then skewered that foul magistrate from the bottom up.
Now, Raku wanders the countryside by day, a simple peasant with little more than the hat on his head, the sword in his hand and the fire of justice in his heart. Come nightfall, Raku dons his mask and raids the mansions of corrupt officials, delivering swift and sure righteousness with deadly tekagi-shuko to all those who hold their citizens in thrall. Redistributing the ill-gotten spoils to the poor and downtrodden, Raku’s mission is to ensure no more orphans suffer his same sorrow.
In the brewing Gold Life struggle, Raku sells his blades to the highest bidder – at times donning the crimson robes for the Red Hand Gang. While both sides try to eliminate this principled agent of vengeance, none can succeed. And so, Raku ambles the countryside spreading wealth and hope.
