WINGED DEVILMAN

The Dynamic Action Figures series by Marmit was supposed to be the perfect Devilman figures series in the 80s-90s (??) since it was supposed to be the perfect 3D traslation of Go Nagai characters and saw big succes with Akira and Miki (not that it was hard to make thos two) but theyr Devilman leave a lot to be desired since it was quiet boring looking. Gladlly, they re-released the character in pure Fewture Models style by giving him a "Winged" version.

I dont know if this version cames first than the Fewture one tough, but this fixed most of the problems the original Devilman had. This one came on a much bigger blister and had a much more detailed sculpt and expression.

The way the muscles are flexed, the open legs and fierce face expression make him more frightning than tha expected, specially on a closer look at his face and how each one of his fangs is painted above his red gums, this figure is really dynamic even with the limits of its pose.

The wings are big but they are not fully open and even his tail is longer and more detailed. He is articulated on the neck and shoulders and legs, tough the legs articulations are too tigth soo he is even more estatuesque than the rest of the figures.

Also, i wasnt able to get the "1st edition" since this figures are soo rare and hard to find, i only was able to get the 2nd edition with the colors of the anime: green skin with wed wings. The colors are vibrant and have dark washing in the rigth places to give more volume to his muscles and while it looks out of place with the other Marmit figures (too colorfull), the color scheme is not out of character at all.

Tough i still wish to get the 1st edition.

The only complaing here is that he cant stand at all. His wings are too heavy soo the only thing that siupports him is his tail, made with rubbery soft plastic and after a few minutes he just fall to his back. Its a shame tough since he is the only Marmit figure that cant stand on his own, but even with this, he is a complete improvement over his non-winged first version.
