WORICK ARCANGELO

I learned about this guy just in the moment i was watching the Gangsta anime and it could not come in a better moment. I had to pre-order him asap and i followed his development closelly over the months. And now i am reading the Gangsta manga and he just arrives on the mail.

Worick was my favorite character of the anime and i ended liking Nicolas as well more than i was expecting. I dont know if Worick is a bishounen or a pretty boy but i ended liking him way too much. I usually dont like blonde men with long hair but Worick is a big exception of the rule, his personality, age and hairynes rooted deeply in my sould pretty fast.

And is pretty rare that they produce figures of characters like him. I cant remember the last time i saw a 30-something male in figure form (aside of Snake) and this is not just a lazy random figure, but is a statue designed to be quiet sexy even fully clothed. A sexy male figure, thats way too unique to let it pass.

Kotobukiya always do a damn fine job with this kind of statues (they actually do a perfect job with everything) and this is part of theyr ArtFX-J series. I only have another statue from this series, theyr Klaus Von Reinherz portrait and i am very happy to see that both share the same quality and, incrediblly enough, the same scale.

Worick is bigger of course, since hes on full body, but both have the same arm and head size. This is a statue, soo theres no articulations and no accesoryes and deffinetly no problem making stand nicelly.

The pose they give to Worick is pretty damn good and spectacular, he is poiting his gun while he is evading an attack or turning around and while his suit has nothing unique, the clothing and body flows perfectly. My only complaing is that his face is mostly hidden bi his arms. Sometimes is hard to have a closer looks of his face thanks to the arms pose but i guess theres no way to avoid that.

His hair is pretty stylish looking and the smirk on his face is terriblly sexy. You can see his fangs and the expression marks on his firehead and around his eyes, is pretty obvious he have adrenaline runing on his system with that fiere look on his eye. His pupil and even the shine on his eye, the level of details is brillant and all this are both sculpted AND painted. Even his eye patch is a separate piece over his face.

His handgun is detailed too tough theres nothign special about it. Wath pics my attention stronglly is how his fingernails are both sculpted and painted as well and the magnifiscent anatomy on the muscles of his arms, full of tension.

His shirt is open soo you can see his muscly pecs and you can also take a look at his hard rock abs in the place his shirt got lose. He even have blonde hair on his pecs, arms and beard and also a treasure trail that goes from his belly into his pubes.

This is where things start to get hot. He is way too manly for an anime character and while he is fully clothed, the small details and peeks they give us to his manly goodies are pretty elegant and sexy. This is not a bland male figure, this guy is totally designed to portray the sexynes of KOHSKE artwork into 3D.

The paint is perfectly clean and vibrant, tough he is very pale and his hair is also painted in a soft yellow, this means his hairynes is kind of hard to notice under some light. I actually had a lot of troubles taking this pictures since the flash erased all the details but the non-flash option was way too dark as well.

Soo in reality, hes much better looking that he is on this pictures.

His base is pretty solid and dosnt take too much shelf space either and have a nice intense yellow color that gives it a dirty and unclean look. I sometimes wish Worick hair was this yellow but then i realize this colour would make him look way too cartoony.

In the end, his monochromatic color and plain suit makes him looks a little boring compared to my other figures, but once you take a closer looks is really spectacular looking. I was temted to get Nicolas Brown too but i dont like they way they sculpted his face BUUUTTTTT still, having the two handymen together is something hard to resist.
