\"Funko<\/p>\n

Since the time we reviewed the DC Direct Bombshells<\/i> Katana figure<\/a>, Tatsu Yamashiro has appeared in the comics - barely. She showed up in Bombshells United<\/i> #6 (#11 if you're reading the digital editions), performing a haiku spell to awaken the soul within her blade - but since Bombshells<\/i> isn't about boys, the soul in her sword is her sister, not her husband. She's then entirely absent from the book until #17 (digital #33), when we're told - not shown - that she put down a ghostly invasion of Japan by the spirits of the restless dead, then in #18 (#35) stopping a nuclear bomb and defeating Black Lanterns. Basically, her entire role in the story was \"meanwhile, elsewhere\" montage scenes.<\/p>\n

Mystery Mini<\/i> Katana wears the same thing as action figure Katana and statue Katana: tall sandals, a torn kimono, some armor on the right shoulder, and a fancy hairdo. (In the comic, her kimono was just short in the front, but the tear-away look matches the original intent.) Her facepaint \"mask\" is painted on, but it for some reason sits remarkably low on the face; like, there shouldn't be such a huge gap between it and her hairline. The mini has an awesome pose, holding her sword low and back, ready for a fight<\/a>. And unlike the DCD figure, this one actually gets the little Creeper charm dangling off the end of her katana's hilt, as seen in the original art. That's a nice plus!<\/p>\n
