Captain Harlock (also known as "Captain Herlock" for the English release of Endless Odyssey and as "Albator" in French-speaking countries) is a fictional character created by manga artist Leiji Matsumoto and the protagonist of the Space Pirate Captain Harlock manga series.
Harlock is the archetypical Romantic hero, a space pirate with an individualist philosophy of life. He is as noble as he is taciturn, rebellious, stoically fighting against totalitarian regimes, whether they be earth-born or alien. In his own words, he "fight[s] for no one's sake... only for something deep in [his] heart". He does not fear death, and is sometimes seen wearing clothing with the number 42 on it. In Japanese culture, the number 42 is associated with death (the numbers, pronounced separately as "four two", sound like the word "shini"-meaning "dying/death").
The character was created by Leiji Matsumoto in 1977 and popularized in the 1978 television series Space Pirate Captain Harlock.[1] Since then, the character has appeared in numerous animated television series and films, the latest of which is 2013's Space Pirate Captain Harlock.
Captain Harlock is brought to life by High Dream/HL Pro with this stunning 12" statue, depicting the Captain in his spaceship, The Arcadia, sitting in his chair where he is relaxing and thinking about his next move with a glass of wine. There are 2 different hairstyles included in the window box.
Captain Harlock has been recreated with great detail and this is a repainted version of an earlier piece with colors more resembling the anime series. This is a must-have for all Captain Harlock fans.
