DEVILMAN

 Unifive was a japanese toy company that mostly work doing kaiju and sentai figures in the end of the last century. They fused with Banpresto eventually but the very few years they stay active they did some really nice figures and my favorite line was theyr Devilman "Detail Figure" serires. They Devilman representation was really really amazing in both sculpt and paint.

Of course they also did the Devilman from the Toei Animation series as well and they did a great job with him as well. He is in the standar scale of any action figure soo is not too big and have no articulation at all, is a small statue. He comes with a square red base with a silver sticker at front with the logo of Devilman.

Just like the manga version, they did 3 variants of this figure: the basic one, the clear color one (translucent) and the glow in the dark one and this is the one i own since i was never able to get the original painted version.

Aside of the S.H.Figuarts version, i think this is my all time favorite anime Devilman figure. The pose is extremelly heroic and manly and the anatomy is really superb, he is muscly and atheltic but not slim like most figures are and since he is the anime version, theres no texture or very intrincate sculpting aside of his muscle body.

Sadlly, since this is the glow in the dark version, many of the sculpted details are relaly blurry thanks to the strange material he is cast on, but somehow, unlike the other Devilman, he is actually fully painted in a much more character acording way. Yellow eyes and red marks, with his blue underwear and his entire skin is green and that matches perfectly the character design.

The wings are big actually and since his back is arched backwards, the position of the wings have a lot of deepth and have a suft green glow on the edges that looks really nice. Of course the best part is the glow in the dark feature, with the lights off he shines like a green lamp in a way no photo can make justice.

I remember how puzzled i was back then to see two different versions of Devilman, they are soo different yet Unifive matched each other quality in sculpt and glows perfectly.
