Cats - Skimbleshanks (Shiki Theatre Company)Skimbleshanks · Shiki Theatre Company

Shiki Theatre Company presents Skimbleshanks from the beloved musical Cats as a collectible figure. Standing at 93mm tall, this figure captures the railway cat in his theatrical stage costume as performed by Japan's renowned Shiki Theatre Company. Cats, based on T.S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, tells the story of the Jellicle Cats who gather for their annual Jellicle Ball, where one cat is chosen to ascend to the Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a new life. Skimbleshanks is the Railway Cat, a meticulous and proud character who keeps the night mail train running on time. The Shiki Theatre Company has staged Cats in Japan for over 30 years, developing a production with strongly Japanese influences while maintaining its replica status. Their long-running production has attracted audiences across generations, with the stage designed so the audience feels they have shrunk to the size of a cat in a vast urban junkyard. This figure stands approximately 93mm tall and is produced by Shiki Theatre Company, commemorating their enduring and acclaimed production of Cats.
