Today’s Main Feature!
Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)
Today I’m going to be taking a look at…
Aoba: Gothic Ver.!★
From the popular PC game “DRAMAtical Murder” comes a scale figure of Aoba dressed in the Gothic outfit that featured in the Nitro+chiral Special Kuji! He is posed wearing a white coat featuring pearl paintwork for an elegant appearance as he stands with a charming smile on his face.
The feather accessories all over his design have been carefully included and made from translucent parts for a slightly transparent appearance that creates a high class appearance. His dog-type ALL-MATE Ren is also included in a similar outfit! Be sure to add this intricately sculpted masterpiece of Aoba to your collection!
A figure of Aoba in his magnificent “Gothic” outfit!
An item to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Max Factory as well as the 30th anniversary of Max Factory!! The figure is based on the Gothic outfit that featured in the Nitro+chiral Special Kuji originally illustrated by honyalala! The illustration looks absolutely fantastic transformed into figure form!! ★
All the charm from the original illustration has been captured in amazing detail, and all the details that were never even visible on the illustration have also been included!! Just look at the creases in his outfit, or the lovely flow of his hair!
The white coat he wears makes use of a pearl paint that gives a lovely glistening, elegant appearance that also brings out the texture of the outfit beautifully! ♪
▲ The creases in his boots, and the twist of his ankle!! (・∀・)!!
His hat features an intricate feather that makes use of a golden paint that brings out that princely appearance perfectly! ♥
The feathers also make use of semi-translucent parts to capture the appearance as faithfully as possible!
Take a closer look at his gloves and you’ll see the detail of each of his finger joints!!
▲You can also make out the “thickness” of his gloves thanks to the sculpt!
Another area that really stands out to me is… here!ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ 三 ﾉﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ
All of the fasteners along his chest have been carefully detailed, and the difference in the amount of creases in the outfit has been carefully adjusted to have more toward the bottom to match those pose!
The fact that he is leaning against the knight piece with a more relaxed pose means there creases are all the more realistic!!
The amazing attention to detail on the figure is simply outstanding!!
As a side note, the figure stands approximately 250mm in height! The current base is provisional, but the final version will be something similar! ε=(｡・д・｡)
▲Size comparison with an iPhone6!
Let’s take a look from a bit of a lower angle!!
Standing by Aoba’s side, we have…
His dog-type ALL-MATE Ren!
Ren is wearing a similar outfit to Aoba and looking lovely and regal by his side! His fluffy looking fur is just asking to be petted!!
▼His hair is lovely and detailed, the his hat and scarf also look great!▲
He also is not attached to the base, so you can even choose to display Ren all on his own somewhere else should you choose! ♪
There really is way too much to enjoy about this figure to introduce with just one blog, so I’m going to have to cut it short, but let me end with at least taking a closer look at his facial expression! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ
The gentlemanly smile on his face has such a cool and composed look to it, with a perfect curve for his lips that has been sculpted with thrilling accuracy!! Simply changing the angle you look from can provide a rather different feel to his expression!
My personal favorite is from this angle!
The downward glance just seems to suit his regal appearance so perfectly to me!!
As I mentioned, the gentle smile from above suddenly has a rather different, somewhat condescending look from this angle!
If we instead move slightly more to the left though, the feel behind the expression changes once again and seems to make him look a little younger!
You can see the expression allows for all sorts of different opportunities when posing, so be sure to find your favorite if you choose to pick him up!! (/ω＼)
Be sure to add this memorial item to your collection!
