ZAN



Marmit did a great job in the 80s-90s with theyr Dynamic Action Figure series from Devilman. A perfect traslation of the characters from 2D to 3D with vintage toy style from back then give birth to a series of figures totally different to wath Fewture did but still pretty good looking. And one of theyr biggest strengths was the character selection, they just didnt do Devilmen and Siren to death but they also did minor characters no other company did.


One of them is Zan, one of the strongest generals in Satan´s army. This figure can stand on his own tough he can only move his shoulders, with no articulation on the legs or head, i dont know the reason but this makes him an even more limited character. Also he is hollow, and made with vynil, wich makes him looks and feel like a Funko Pop from the 70s.


Also, his design, i love how much he screams "SENTAI!!", anyone who dsnt know Devilman would naturally expect this monster to from the Power Rangers!

The sculpt is good, 100% Go Nagi´s artwork, with the rigth volume and size (he is actually the tallest of the figures and have a pretty hunly shape), you can even see his abs and bulgue shaped under the furry skin....damn, he looks soo much like a man on a rubber suit!!


The colors scheme is purple and greay, with a grany texture on it, sich is pretty interesting since we never see his color in the manga. All fangs in both mouth are perfectly painted as well as each one of his eyes (6 eyes) and the claws on his feet.


He is not the most fun or dynamic figure of the series but i think its more a problem of design than figure making since Marmit traslated his perfectly. He is just...incrediblly outdated looking tough he fits perfectly in the series.
