NEZUMI OTOKO

Soo i finally give up and got the Nezumi Otoko / RatMan from Gegege No Kitaro. He was all alone in the store and it seems i am the only one in Mexico who knows this characters (or is willing to buy figures of them).

Part of the Takeya Takayuki series of Revoltech, this guy is kind of smaller than your standar action figures but given his cartoony features, every detail stands out a lot. Like Kitaro and the daddy eye, the paint is incrediblly vibrant and realistic in the rigth elements (like the base) and make him looks like a maquete.

Like with Kitaro, his base comes in tree pieces: the flooer, the buda statues and the postal box (whos owner is actually Kitaro) and while the elemenst are small, they are jamp packed with details, like letter on the postal box and an offering of rice for the statues.

He comes with a collection of extra hands for different gestures and a face with open mouth and closed eyes. The eyes can be removed and swaped actually. He also have a dead fish and a bunch of money. The fish is not special but the money is horriblly detailed and realistic, the impression is actually both painted and sculpted in the small accesory.

The articulations are pretty good, tough is pretty pointless on his legs. Hes supposed to have two sepparated legs with interwinded layes of rags around them but is pretty tricky to move them in a way they looks rigth. This is not Kaiyodos fault tough.

Now i have the full collection. I never liked the Revoltech series too much actually, i think they looks kinda cheap and blocky tough this 3 are a big exception to that rule.
