CONRAD & SLAN

Getting figures of the God Hand wasnt something i was expecting at all. Art of War released statues of them decades ago but they were way too expensive and rare to count and Figma show his prototypes for 4 years i thinkl!!! I was sure they had cancelled them but now they are in here in all theyr glory.

After getting the spectacular and at the same time kinda dissapoiting Femto, is turn for the incrediblly strange and grotesque Conrad as the first FigFIX figure i get from Good Smile Company. He comes packed in a HUGE box along side Slan and is pretty obvious why.

When my parents saw him they asked “Wath the fuck is that?” something any sane person could ask if they dont know this character. Conrad, as the most silent member of the God Hand and the bearer of gluttony and greed, looks extremelly strange. He looks kinda like a baby with big cartoony and cute hands but from the back, he looks like a huge insect, tough his legs are tentacles?

I wonder wath was Kentaro Miura thinking when designing this thing….

He can stand on his own and he is actually pretty heavy. Specially consideroing hes totally hollow, the plastic materials are of very high quality. Hids head and hands are huge compared to human anatomy, yet he is the smallest of the Besererk characters.

The sculpt is sharp and pretty well defined, specially on his shell. The esferic design on his back really looks like insect part and his tentacles are all in a different pose, is almots like hes walking with them. While he is supposed to be black, he have some soft tones of dark blue to high light his strange anatomy.

His head, tentacles and hands have a suft pink/purple tone than makes him looks like a fresh cadaver. The lips and the closed eyes with blue tones, the veins on his neck and cheecks, looks like a dead body that is strunggling to breath.

His only articulation is on his head. This FigFIX concept is pretty bizarre actually, i dont understand why produce tiny statues like this. I mean, hes not going to dance polka with that anatomy of his, but it would be extrmelly easy to just articulate his tentacles and arms.

I dont know if anyone would buy this character as a stand alone mini-statue, but as an accesory of Slan, hes pretty good and a great deal. His bizarre design make him a lot of fun to look at and hes one of the big five after all, a must for a Berserk fan.

While Conrad was fun, the true meat of the second God Hand package is Figma Slan, one of my most hyped figures of this year. She´s one of my favorite characters and i was extremelly interested to see how Good Smile Company would produce her. An action figure of Slan is something soo unique.

Unlike any other Figma out there, she (and Conrad) comes in a big and totally enclosed box, full of pictures that hide her nipples. I am not sure why are they soo shy with her…

She is the same size as Femto, soo she is taller than Caska. The anatomy comparision with Caska is pretty extreme since the human warrior looks almots like a little kid compared to Slan huge…huge…everythings. Even Slan shoulders are much bigger than Caska´s.

Slan ca stand on her own thanks to her huge wings that support her perfectly, but still she comes with the awesome Figma base of allways. Slan is really really simplistic in both color and sculpt. her skin is smoth and perfect like a doll, toug her front is extremelly generous as well as her back side. She have probablly the biggest and more round ass of all Figma figures.

Her skin is really pale, almost ghostly pale and her fingernails on her hands and toes are both sculpted and painted. Her hair is simplstic in color - aqua blue - but it have many layers to make it looks chaotic.

Now i have kind of an issue here. Her nipples are sculpted but they only have a pale blue tones as paint and she has no vagina. I dont want a plastic vagina on my desk, but she was REALLY EXPENSIVE and the japanese toy stores are full of horrible and nasty and obscene hentai figures, but they fell concerned sculpting a vagina?

I got many Devilman Lady figures with both a sculpted and painted vagina, i got Sirens too and Micos and Psycho Genies…i got a Satan figure with a penis!!! Why didnt Good Smile sculpted a vagina on Slan and defined her nipples more? Her body details are soo… vague and soft and that makes a strange contrast with her corse.

The corse piece on her torso and her neck are both very detailed sculpted and painted with ject black and purple tones and they dont stop her waist to freely move.

Her wings are the biggest piece on her design and they looks a lot like Femto´s wings, with the golden line in the fingers and the H.R. Giger design. The strange shape of this apendages makes it evident that they are more decorative than usefull.

The wings are really heavy and yet they dosnt keep falling apart over and over again like Femto´s and they dosnt block any of her movility. You can pretty much toss them to her back and move her freely and the articulations on the wings dosnt broke any of the fluidity of theyr shape.

Her articulations works fantastic (like always) and she comes with many hands to play with. She even have hands to hold a weapone, tough she dosnt have any. Aside of that she also comes with 3 different faces: a serious one, a smiling one and a horny one.

The paint on her eyes is really perfect and well defined, tough i wish they give her yellow pupils to looks more like a snake. Her blue lips are beautifull tough my favorite detail is her tongue. Her tongue is blue, something that high lights shes not human at all.

Her wings also have purple lights.

Shes pretty empty in the accesory category, tough she really dosnt use any and if we count Conrad as her accesry then things are better looking. Still, both are too small to bear the price tag Good Smile put on them. This are trully over priced toys.

The “suggested” nipples and female parts make her looks extremelly elegant and i have conflicts with that. Shes not supposed to looks elegant, but slutty and vulgar, this is the Whore Princess of the Uterin Sea…
