DEVILMAN MICHAEL LAU

Now this is a pretty odd and interesting pice. Many years ago (i dont remember the exact date...2005-2010?) and in the most inexpected place, i saw this guy and hiw winged head seemed oddly familiar. I buy him very cheap and started to investigate where this Devilman came from.

It turns out this figure was made by Michael Lau, a popular Hong Kong artists specialized in urban design. It seems his art is mostly used on skateboards and vynil figures, soo this kind of remidns me the Funko Pop of modern times.

This Devilman is one head taller than a Funko Pop and is pretty light thanks to the vynil material and it also have a very pleasan velvet texture. Is bascially a version of Devilman made with square shapes and such, soo even his hairy legs looks more like rock. The paint is minimum to help achive the cartoonish 2D effect and overall, he is very pleasent to look at, i love his square muscles but most of all i love that huge smile full of fangs he have.

He is articulated on the wings, neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers tough given the nature of his body, he dosnt have too much flexibilty. Also his tail is bendable and made with a pretty soft material.

I also love hig big black feet....i think this is one of the coolest and cutest figures of Devilman to date, i guess this is wath most people see (and i fail to see) on the Funko Pop. And he is also very rare and expensive now it seems since he was released in 2003.
