VON LYCAON

 Now this is a first time for me and this place...a review of a figure thats not part of my collection at all!! A friend of mine wasnt able to recive this figure thanks to his job, soo this guy arrved to my home first and, given how rare and unique this is, i dont want to miss the chance to put info about this figure in here because this kind of figures fade in obscurity extremelly fast.

This is no ordinary figure, this is an adult NSFW figure, extremelly limited and expensiv and once this figures comes out, theyr existance on the internet disolve completelly - i know, i been searchign info about this kind of figures and is very rare to find anything - , plus this are too good to keep them hidden in the shadows and they deserve to be shown by as many people as posible but of course, i will keep the dirty bits out of this place but i will write another review in another place for that part of the figure, read and pictures are completelly safe here.

Last year the studio behind Genshin Impact (i wont write its name!!) launched Zenless Zone Zero, also called ZZZ, an urban fantasy action RPG free to play. I usually try to avoid this kind of games but this one in particular build an incrediblly atractive world mixed with pretty good hack and slash combat system as well as pretty interesting and likeable characters. Its a kind of difficult to explain game but the art direction is really fantastic, specially on the character design department and one of the favorite characters is Von Lycaon, an elegant werewolf part of the Victoria Housekeeping faction.

Is imposible not to ike this guy, from his looks to his story and voice and personality soo adult figure studios didnt doubt a second and started working on a NSFW figure of him incrediblly fast and this is one of the many results of him, from Lingze Studio.

This guy is HUGE, like an entire ehad taller than a Sideshow/Hot Toys figure but he is also extremell heavy since is made of resin. The material is hard and fresh and very soft to the touch, classy but i am afraid is also very delicate in the pointy parts. He cant stand on his own without the base tough but the peg that conects him to the base is a metal rod soo i think he wont have any balance issues (i mean, i am sure the rod goes pretty deep on his legs soo unless the entire leg broke he will be fine).

The sculpt here is really really good, worthy of the high price. The many layers of the hair in the front as well as the spiky hair on the back and coming out from his hears are really good looking. The canine snout is a little bit shorter than in the game but is kind of difficult to see and the rest of the shapes are perfect match of the game: the broad shoulders, the waist, the really long legs. Of course theres not much texture here because this is basically an anime character soo his fur is completelly clean of textures.

I do love the fur coming out from under his sleeves, gloves and neck, as well as his long claws, but his suit is really the stellar part here since it have a very nice fabric texture and both looks and feels to the touch pretty good. The vest and the shirt hug his body shape pretty nicelly and every button, detail and strap are perfectly sculpted.

Another impresive part are his prostethic legs, The sculpt replicate perfectly the intrincate design that remidns of Raiden´s body from Metal Gear Solid. The front side looks very slick and dynamic while in the back side you can see all the mechanics and engines that give power to his icy kicks. Very cool deffinetly but this is the section that must use extra care since the legs are soo long and easy to brake.

The mechanical legs are painted in gunmetal black mixed with some silver and golden details and everything have is aligned to have a metalic look while the metalic sectionson his hips have a ix of black and grey that gives them the look of old and used metal. The suit is clean dark purple with some white details in the best and metalic buttons and back pads mixed with grey to look natural and the shirt is extremelly white clean with very soft purples to give shadows to the very few wrinkles on it.

All the black straps on his neck, face and hands are perfectly painted while the fur parts are completelly white - again to mimick an animated design - tough with some soft grey shade on the point of the ears and the hairs of the front. His mouth is painted as a black anime line and his eye also have a pretty anime decign witha red pupil. This red pupil along side the crimson handkerchief on his chest are stand out perfectly.

Both arms and head can be removed to store him but they have a pretty strong magnet that keeps them in place. In fact, is actually quiet challenguing to remove them without braking the tiny hairs since the magnetism is extremelly strong.

Now his tail. His tail is huge and very hairy and full of straps. The black straps have some dark grey washing while the white fur is clean but with some dark grey in the end part to make it look more dashing but the sculpt in the strands is really good and styled witha  perfect flow. The tail have a big metalic rod that goes inserted on Lycaon back side but with mo magnet, the tail feels a little wobbly and i dont like that since its quiet a heavy piece. Everytime i move him around is better to remove the tail soo it dosnt get any damage.

His only accesory is a golden watch with the lid open that fits perfectly on his hand, and while the golden paint looks good as well as the inside of the clok with the numbers, is a little tricky to fit it between Lycan claws and dont broke the lid of the tail in the process.

The base is a big and extremelly heavy resin square sculpted and painted to mimic a wood floor. The pathern is good and the wood paint looks perfect but the only section that conects it with the figure is a a tiny hole to insert Lycaon,s metal rod from the leg of the front. I would feel much better if they added a second hole to insert both legs instead of a single one.

And lastly theres a couch. A elegant and simple looking white couch with a golden structure and buttons on it, to make it looks like Lycaon is walking on the halls of a manor. This peice looks good and the paint is correct if only quiet simplistic but the problem here is that this thing is ULTRA HEAVY!!! This couch can broke bones peetty easy or even be used as a mortal weapon since this is thick thick resin. I guess this helps keep the base in place but still, the weigth of this piece really needs a strong table for siplay.

Oh and i almost forget!! It also includes a little card with metalic foil with an image of the figure and the production number, this is figure number 50 but i have no idea wath was the complete production number. A pretty nice detail for such a limited item.

Overall this figure is really amazing, high quality in both material, sculpt and paint. I wish the tail feels safer and the weigth of the base is really something to be carefull with, but i love how this can be displayed in a NSFW and a normal and safe piece, pretty handy for when theres visits. 

There is more accesorys and even an extra body in here but i will cover them in [ fight and fear ] for those interested on the adult part of this figure.
