AMON



Just before the start of the series two of Devilman action figures, Fewture Models released an extra series deddicated to the OVA Amon, Apocalypse of Devilman. This series was really small tough it share the high quality of the other two series. Devilman and Saylos based on theyr OVA looks were pretty solid figures tough the third character would surpass them pretty easy.

This is the third Amon designed by Yasushi Nirasawa and, just like with Devilman, he is extremelly different to the other two and in my opinion, the best of them all. While the first Amon was almost “nosferatu-esque” and Zenotic Amon looked like a dragon, this Amon is much more beastly and brutal.


Like Clive Barker would say: “its an amalgamation of demonic excess and erotism”. Probablly the manlyest of all the figures, with crimson skin, a mean look, bearded, very hairy, with huge bulguing pecs, the back of a bull, giant muscles on his arms and legs, a tiny waist and even a bulgue, this Amon is the weet dream of any fan of bara. Is easy to understand Siren behaviour on Crybaby after being in presence of this Amon.

The wings of his head are HUGE, with the texture of old leather and full of holes, the sculpt on his head is extremelly crisp and defined, with perfectly visible lips and individual fangs sculpted as well as a stylish beard, the level of sculpt in this guy is crazy amazing.


The chiseled muscles are detailed with the same quality, with veins all over them and an impresive anatomy and scales between his pecs, the hair on his legs is as sharply sculpted as his skin. I must say even his back is EXTREMELLY impresive, with raw muscles that are about to explode and an ocean of hair that flows perfectly, the artistry on this guy is amazing.

While the hair is mostly black with only a few brosn on his head, the red on his skin is darker enough to make him looks natural, but with certain light it kinda shines with a soft metalic looks. The red on his face matches the red on his body perfectly and the only other colors on him are his silver fangs and yellow eyes.


He is articulated on the head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, abs, legs and knees soo he is not as crazy movable as the other two, yet each one of his articulations are free to move and have an amazing range of movement, nothing restrict them, not even the hair on his shulders since its sculpted on deparate pieces that “levitates” over his shoulders and move a little bit along them.

Also, his feet are huge and thanks to the lack of articulation on his ankles, he can stand perfectly even on a runing pose!! I think this is the figure on the entire 3 lines that can stand perfectly without the use of a base!! And this is not small feat given how tall he is and how incrediblly heavy feels.


This figure is sure extremelly heavy, much more than Jinmen or the rest wich only makes him sexyer.

Even soo, he have the big chunk of ice that works as a base, to match the other two tough he dosnt need it at all.


Amon beats easy Devilman thanks to his good looks and can beat Saylos as well since all his articulations are much better, soo this is by far the best figure of the Amon, Apocalyse of Devilman.

Not only that, but he is the rarest of the series and i was extremelly impresed with him when i first got it since it felt like a trully special figure, something unique, and now i am still impresed with how damn looks he looks on almost any pose.


While series one had Winged Devilman and Jinmen as the most brillant pieces and series two had Zennon and Mico and Welvath, the Amon series had this piece as the best of the best representative. Even if you dont know who this creature is of who exactly is Devilman, this monster extremelly good looks suits perfectly to any collection of horror stuff and even looks menacing alone on any shelf.
