DEVILMAN

Most of the time (if not always) i remember the time lapse of the figures i got or specific memories about it, like how much i wanted back then or the troubles i had getting it, how expensive of cheap it was or where i got it. But this time is quiet the opposite; i dont have any recolection about where and when i get this figure and the most alarming thing is that i dont even know wath brand it is.

Is a Devilman statue that came in a big box with a lot of Go Nagai artwork around it and the title "Devilman Real Big Wing Version" and thats it....it had no brand or logo on any side of the box and i am not sure waths the meaning behind the "real" on the title, or the "big wings version" since as far as i know, there is no wingless version.

The figure have a considerable scale since its bigger than an action figure and comes with a round stand in black plastic with the logo of Devilman carved on it. We got Devilman kind of advancing with his hand rised, perhaps talking with someone in front of him. the pose is very casual and discret tough have enough personality to be interesting.

The sculpt is really good, he have pretty sharp face features and a stoic expression and the musculature of his body is really impresive. The wings on his back and head have pretty sharp shapes as well as spikes that gives them the impression to be a chapitel of a church or somekind of building, giving him a very "garogylesque" style.

The paint is the most interesting part of this statue since he is red...like...crimson red. The black soft shadows on his body to high ligth the muscles as well as the black on his claws and legs gives him the look of burning coal.

His wings, tail and head are cast on transluscent plastic soo the light go trough them pretty nicelly but this also mean the red on his face is a different tone too giving him a pretty odd look. This small detail really make him look a little cheap wich is a shame given how good looking is the statue.

While the color gives him a pretty unique look, is still easy to see who this character is and it dosnt deviat that much from Go Nagai´s original design and i like that. There is also a green transluscent version of this statue but aside of that, i dont know from where this guy comes from!!
