DEVILMAN LADY
Devilman action figures series by Fewture Models and designed by Yasushi Nirasawa has been one of my main collection and has been on permanent display on my room for almost 20 years. The series is divided into good and amazing figures and is one of the most prime examples of the greatness of Nirasawa.
The 5th figure on the series was Devilman Lady, and like Siren, she had a twin sister more suited for western audience and ToyR´Us. This censored version was one of the very first Devilman figures i got soo she is much more common than the pretty rare japanese original version.
Devilman Lady design dosnt moves too much outside of her original version, with only a few Nirasawa details here and there: a sharpen hair on her arms, metalic rings on her wings, she is probablly the most human looking character of the first series and makes a pretty and cool looking figure.
Her face is totally different that Siren. While the demon bird had this dark and menacing look in her eyes, Devilman Lady have a more confortable and sweet look in her face tough she have sharp fangs coming out of her mouth, wich makes her more cute looking.
Her body is totally different to Siren. There is no re-use of sculpts in here: while Siren is leaning towards one of her sides, Devilman Lady is standing straight and is much more fit and muscley. Is pretty amazing how detailed is the anatomy of her muscles while still keeping the unrealistic and stylish design of Nirasawa.
Her skin is beautyfull, with many greens, purples and blues highligthing the muscles and shadows above the skin tone. Juts because she is a nude woman dosnt mean she is simplistic, quiet the opposite. The fur is also very nicelly painted with metalic blues and greens that make it looks like moss in some part, make her very unique looking compared to all other Devilman Lady figures.
The only odd thing i dont understand are the bone structure on her chest, between her breats…
Her censored twin is not as brillant tough. Sculpt wise is the same figure except for the fur bra on her boobs, but the color is incredivlly lazy and simplistic: just a plain skin tone and some metalic red on her fur, this design is not close to any other version of the character and that makes it quiet innecesary.
Both comes with the same rocky base with skulls tough she can stand on her own perfectly outside the base.
She is articulated on the legs, shoulders, wrists, elbows and head, tough the closed hand and clawed hand give her much more options for cool poses compared to the other figures, she is a little more dynamic looking.
Devilman Lady turned out to be pretty cool and cute looking figure, she can stand on her own in any collection tough, like Devilman, i find her a little plain and boring looking compared to Jinmen or Siren.
Devilman Lady against her western censored version, the original one wins in good looks on every aspect.
