SAYLOS
With the release of the OVA Amon, Apocalypse of Devilman, Fewture Models released a small series of action figure almost at the same time as the second series. One of the characters selected for this series was the original character created by Yasushi Nirasawa for the OVA: Saylos.
Saylos is actually one of the most beautyfull designs for a demon, a vypering creature that looks like a snake made of ice, he is both very evil looking and elegant.
Saylos is cast on a white plastic that gives him some transparency texture that makes him looks like ice, he is aerodynamic and the scales of his body are sculpted in a pretty simplistic and clean way.
The colors are soft light blues, darker blues and purples, are mixed together along his body in a way it makes him looks like the chromatic colors of a fish, with the only different colors coming on the spikes on his arms, his black claws and the red cross on his chest. This red cross is actually a scar inflicted by Amon centuryes ago, something the OVA didnt mention.
His face is the most interesting part of the figure, with black lips, long fangs and a pretty sharop sculpt on his noce and eyes, he have big holes on his checks soo you can see his fangs peeking from them, holes on hsi forehead and long tentacles in a “Predator” way, this is one of the coolest demons ever seen on action figures.
He is articulated on the neck, shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists, abs, legs, knees and ankles, but sadlly he is extremelly hard to play with, given to the spikes on his arms and the tentacles on his head, is very difficult to move around his arms or his head and thanks to his static tail and the weak articulations on his ankles, is pretty difficult to make him stand.
He comes with the big chunck of ice base that looks terrific and makes him looks taller than he is, but even with this, he is pretty difficult to balance and keeps falling around.
Its weird how cool looking is this character, yet he is not one of my favorites… maybe due to the difficult to handle him, but i find him more frustrating than fun. Then again, he is the only “new demon” from the OVA series soo is difficult to find a justification to nut boy him.
