DEVILMAN KUBRIK

While the Michael Lau Devilman is deffinetly cute i think nothing can compare to the cutenes of the Kubrik by Medicom. Medicom Toy is one of the oldest and more classic toy brands from Japan (and one of the most overpriced) and are one of the first to work with Devilman too. They made 12" doll figures of the characters that are extremelly difficult to find by now but they also make Kubriks.

The Kubriks are small figures based on the style of lego and they did Kubriks of A LOT of brands, like the Blair Witch, Evangelion, Disney, Star Wars....they used to be like the modern POP by Funko. And i can say with all safety that this set of Kurbik are the oldest Devilman items i own, since the box says "1980".

The window plastic is already yellow, but i manage to keep the box and the figures in really good state after ...40 YEARS!!!!! OMFG!!!!

The first set of Kubrik about Devilman is called "Devilman The Original" and is based on the OVAs. The box have Akira Fudo, Ryu Asuka and Devilman.This guys are really small and they can stand on theyr own perfectly, tough they comes with a 3 panel base that conects with each other and a cardboard scenario with a weird yellow, purple and red camo design. All for display of course.

The paint is minimum - only the face and chest in Devilman and Ryo example - and the sculpt is also minimum and only consist on the hair, wings and claws of Devilman. Yet the paint job is really clean and perfect and matches perfectly the faces of the OVAs.

Ryo Asuka comes with a coat of paper??? I dont know waths the material of his coat but looks like paper with fabric texture and he also have his tiny shotgun. Akira is 90% blackness and is the most simplistic looking tough he have a second face on the back of his head. Turn around the head and the hair and you got an Akira with a very cute and surprised face.

Devilman is of course the best of them, with his big wings and menacing face tough he is the same size as the other two. All figures are articulated on the neck, shoulders, wrists and legs and they are a lot of dun to play with, even wth the limited articulation and body structure, since you can literally dismeber them and mix theyr parts.

I remember this were among the Devilman toys i wanted the most years ago and they are much more cute and fun than the modern Pop Funko but sadly, its been a long time since i saw a Krubrik....
