FEMTO ~ EGG OF THE KING ~

One of the many reasons why i like Berserk soo much was because of the monstruositys Kentari Miura design. Berserk population is mostly grotesque and bizarre and the jewel of the crown of course, is the God Hand. The demon kings and main antagonists, designed to be both elegant and disturbing, mixing perfectly Clive Barker and H.R.Giger influences and fitting perfectly into a medieval era.

For years, God Smile Company has shown lots of prototypes of this characters and it was pretty obvious they were going to stay like that, prototypes. Until now.

In the very moment they opened the pre-oders, i ordered the first God Hand member, the Blessed King of Longing - Femto. And i got the special limited edition one, the called “Borth of theHawk of Darkness” version. This is by far the most expensive Figma figure i ever got, but i HAD to get him no matter wath.

His box was HUGE onlly because of the single accesory that make this toy soo expensive: the King´s Egg - the Crimson Behelit.

This thing is….magnifiscently done. The base of the egg makes it looks like some kind of cup sovered in red veins/rots or tentacles. I am tempted to put this thing in some kind of altar with canddles, it fits perfect for such imaginery.

The egg is just….beautifull, with a stone like texture and a crimson red paint all over it with dark hues and a wet and slimmy look, it looks alive…pulsating and pretty bloody as well. The hiddeous grinn have each teeth sculpted at different sizes and some pretty fleshy looking lips. The eye is hypnotizing and stands out magnifiscently with those intense and vibrant blue tones.

The inside of the egg is sculpted as well with veins and a strange “bee hive” like texture on the floor, its looks too much like a biologycal entity of its own. From the inside it have this “petals” tendrils that looks like a flower, but they actually have a purple/pink tone with veins. Its obvious its actually a membrane and i love how this toy turns something soo disgusting into something soo elegant looking.

The way Femto fits inside this egg is extremelly simplistic and works pretty well. Once he is posed crawiling in all four, his wings needs to be removed from the side and the middle wing´s bottom part needs to be removed as well. The egg also comes with a pair of extra “unevolved” wings that are closing around Femtos body.

With this new wings he ends up looking like a purple onion and can be placed in the middle of the egg with a peg on the side wall. The “egg face” is a separate piece soo it can be removed to make things easyer. You moves Femto´s neck soo he looks up and that it, hes now coming out of his egg like in the cover of volume 12.

Its fun to pose him like he is coming out of the egg but i am afraid to broke some pointy edge of the egg like that.

This thing was really worth the price since is such a beautifull and yet horrible vision to witness and still, this is only one accesory, the real figure is a treath of its own.

It took years to Figma and lot of strange prototypes to finally release the Blessed King of Longin, Femto action figure. One of the most expensive Figmas to date given the inhuman of his design and his wings, i knew i HAD to get him no matter wath and i even got Caska a year ago soo Femto dosnt feel alone.

Femto comes in the standar size of all Figmas, a not specially tall action figure that is a little bit taller than Solid Snake and Archer. And to my surprise, he can stand on his own pretty well. His entire body is fully articulated and while his legs are thing and feet have…a strange shape, he can maintain every pose and keep his balance nicelly.

Still tough, i prefer to use that magnifiscent base all Figmas have, the mechanical arm conected to his back.

All those details found on his birth egg are not here. He has no texture at all and comes in only two tones of paint: dark blue and some light blue. This is not Good Smile´s fault but is his original design. He dosnt looks organic actually…looks kinda robotic.

His body is “muscly”…i never noticed before, he looks like human with no skin, only raw tissue and muscle tough they are all blue and the wet look dosnt help at all. His face is clean and beatifully designed, a separate piece from his helmeth thingy, his llips have a pretty femenine pink tone and his eyes are sharp and perfectly painted with red pupils. He is one of the prettyest ladys i ever got on figure form, tough he has a penis.

No, really, he ACTUALLY have a penis sculpted between his legs. Is imposible to see thanks to the dark blue but he have a sausage shaped thing actually sculpted and thats extremelly disturbing.

Now his wings, the sourse of all his succes and failures. The wings are extremelly good looking, no way to deny that. They share the same wet look and dark blue tones with only some small golden details. They dosnt looks too much like bat wings or a falcon, but they looks like roach wings. Actually, the whole Femto looks more insectoid than anything in close inspection…like a winged Xenomorph.

The wings comes in 3 different sections, two attached to his shoudlers and one to his back. And each wing have a middle articulation. This is extremelly cool since once posed rigth, they can give an extraordinary feel of movement. And even in a pasive pose, the wings give to this guy a very spectacular and elegant look.

Most people have complained about the “broken” look they have. I dont have problem with th fragmented look, but my problem comes with the fact this guy NEEDED more wings!!! There is always two big empty spots on his sides in between the wings, and this brokes completelly the ilusion.

Two more fragments of wings are needed or a way to open up the wings of the front soo the things can cover him completelly. Also, some articulations in the upper shoulder pads are needed too. If i move the left wing up, the middle wing just pop out and fall or the rigth wing too. One way to fix this could have been make the wings with soft plastic soo they dont restrict the articulation and poses, but instead of that Figma made them with hard plastic. They are heavy and actually…very difficult to pose.

Move his wings in a way they have a flow motion look AND at the same time cover the empty spots between them is incrediblly tricky. I cant even pose him with his wings fully opened or fliying. This was a good chance for Figma to give him an open giant wing for the high price he have but they missed the chance.

I am very happy with him, even if his wing are such a letdown and are not dynamic at all, the figure itself and his giant egg make this a great deal. Plus, aside of his base he comes with a toon of multi posed hand gestures to play with as well.

Pairing him up with Casca is a lot of fun as well tough i am not that evil as to recreat the movie. My Casca will have a happy ending this time.

I am was fully hyped to get the Whore Princess of Uterine Sea - Slan, my favorite God Hand member a few weeks after but i still dont know if i will be able to complete the whole collection…
