SATAN

After the HUGE shock that was the trhid figure on the second series of Devilman - More Than Demon, Fewture Models continue to did an impresive job by releasing again an extremelly important character that never before saw an action figure release, the main antagonist of the story, Satan.

Yasushi Nirasawa really took a lot of libertyes with Satan (and Ryo as well) and remove all of his warm and traditional beautyfull features to gives him a much more demonic and dark nature: Satan have pretty menacing claws as well as bat like wings in bewteen his angelic wings and have the silhouette of a star.

This is an angel made with a cold and icy light and for that, Fewture decided to cast the character in transcluscent plastic. This gives to the figure a pretty goodly look since the light goes trought his body and wings in a very spectacular way. This along the fact the figure have blue sparkles in the plastic gives him a pretty unique and luminous look.

The body with transparency also contains the acion feature of Satan: he have glow in the dark insides. You can see his ribs and organs shine in the dark but you can also glipse at them under normal light, something pretty odd considering this is a being made of energy and light, there is flesh on this character…

Sadlly, Satan´s head is made in hard normal plastic, soo the levels of detail and texture is pretty different on his head compared to his body and how the transluscent plastic degrades with the ages and take a yellow tone. This is much more evident on photos tough, since in person the difference is not that abismal.

Now the censorship. This figure is not censored and have a pair of female breats as well as a hairy bulgue. It looks totally female until you touch his sexual parts and notice theres a penis sculpted under the vaginal lips… i guess this was a clever way to keep Satan hermaphroditic nature as well as avoiding censorship.

Satan is as aticulated as Zennon, with nech and wings articulations, shoulders, biceps, elbows, wrists, legs, knee and ankle articulations soo he have a lot of pose options that looks elegant on him, tough his anle articulations are very weeak and his wings too heavy and is almost imposible to make him stand.

To help him a little to keep balance, Satan comes with the same style base of Zennon with his name on it but in a smaller scale (bit bigger than Akira and Ryo bases). And to be honest, this base dosnt help a whole lot…is hard to keep Satan on balance doe to his big wings and that makes me like Zennon much more (if thats posible).

This is one of the best Nirasawa design, a figure that tells a lot with its silhouette and texture. It have some issues like the yellowing of his body and the lack of balance, but it manages to be pretty different to Siren while keeping its divine nature, it manages to be pretty goodlike while still looks cold and evil  and that makes it a pretty beautyfull figure of a rare character never before seen in plastic form.
