The Stormurai Trooper by "Ghetto Geppetto" (aka Lewis Ojeda) came bagged with header card, with the reverse image of the trooper that stated "Toy Street exclusive". Made available for sale were primed versions of the figure only (shown above). Standing 6 inches tall (to top of helmet / 7 inch including helmet-deco), the Stormurais were priced at US$80 each. The hand-painted version of the Stormurai Trooper is shown below:
Robert asked Lewis a coupla question with regards to Stormurai (thanks, Rob!)
ROB LOSITO: Where did the vision drawing come from and who sculpted it?
LEWIS OJEDA: I saw a picture of a dude at SDCC and he had a suit made to look that way I thought it was cool so when it came time to do something I sketched up my version and sculpted it not long after .
ROB LOSITO: I originally saw something that said edition 50 pieces. Is that true or is this version only 10?
LEWIS OJEDA: Yeah , I spoke too soon there were gonna be 50 but I ran into production problems and had to lessen the run to ten. I'm gonna have glow in the dark version by June hopefully in a different pose. The glow in the dark ones are gonna be a smaller scale and that will be a bigger run. Hopefully it all works out.
