Lacia: 2018 BLACK MONOLITH Deployed Ver. (BEATLESS)

Hello everyone!! Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

It’s finally starting to get warm here in Japan! I can finally bring out my spring clothes…

Anyway, today I’ll be taking a look at…

Lacia: 2018 BLACK MONOLITH Deployed Ver.

From the anime series “BEATLESS” comes a scale figure of Lacia-class hIE Type-005 “Lacia”, based on a key visual by the character’s creator redjuice specifically arranged for this figure. Her flowing lilac-colored hair and ice blue eyes have been carefully recreated. Lacia’s youthful beauty has been captured in stunning detail in both the sculpting and paintwork.

The BLACK MONOLITH Deployed Ver. includes a special base of the BLACK MONOLITH in deployed form. The sculpting and paintwork of the BLACK MONOLITH was carefully supervised by redjuice. Be sure to add this awe-inspiring figure to your collection.

The being that mankind is yet to comprehend.

From the anime series “BEATLESS” comes a scale figure of Lacia-class hIE Type-005: Lacia!

▲It’s quite impressive!

The figure is based on a special illustration arranged by her original character designer, redjuice! (○´∀`)人(´∀`○)ﾉ

▲The illustration from when the figure was announced!

By the way, here is Lacia: 2011 Ver.! She’s coming out in June 2019.

The original 2011 release of this figure was in the BEATLESS Introduction Set

Let’s get back to the 2018 Ver.!

In order to properly convey the detail of her tight-fitting outfit, shadowing has been added to the outfit in various parts to show her body line in exceptional detail◎

The pale-to-deep gradation of her hair has also been well recreated. ₍₍(∩´ ᵕ `∩)⁾⁾

The differences in texture between her smooth skin and the gloss of her outfit have been carefully considered as well.

By the way, even looking at the BLACK MONOLITH alone you can see the sheer size of it! (｡’-‘)(｡,_,)ｳﾝｳﾝ

▲Next to an iPhone 7 Plus. It’s quite large! (Approx. 200ｍｍ in height.)

Next, let’s take a look at…

Right here on the BLACK MONOLITH!

In the BLACK MONOLITH’s deployed form, you can clearly see the tiny tiny details of the device. That layering looks incredible! (；・∀・)

The blue parts have also been recreated with gradation! It gives it a glowing appearance. ☆

Another version of this item will also be available for preorder! ♪

Lacia: 2018 Ver.

This simpler version comes without the BLACK MONOLITH base that Lacia: 2018 Ver. BLACK MONOLITH Deployed Ver. comes with. ◎

Without the BLACK MONOLITH, you can seee a few more details of Lacia’s outfit!

▲The detail of the parts on her lower back is stunning! ♪

1/8th Scale Leicia

Oi! Tasshi! What are you doing!?

That’s not something I would expect from you!!

What are you doing to that poor figure! I think the bad influences around the office are getting to him…

It might look like he is doing something indecent… or painting in that photo, but he is actually just using a tool to fine tune the angle that the figure is displayed at… I was so close to hitting him over the head as well…

Anyway, today’s product review is this beautiful figure…

From ‘BEATLESS’, currently serialized in Newtype:

1/8th Scale Leicia!

BEATLESS is a short novel that is being written by Satoshi Hase and illustrated by redjuice. This figure if of one of the main characters in that story, the female hIE – ‘Leicia’!

First off – take a look at this image! (`･ω･´)

Yep! This is the original illustration!

You can see just how similar the illustration and the figure are! ((((;ﾟДﾟ))))

This is how it looks from the back!

It’s VERY big!!

But it’s a lot more than just big – it also looks absolutely fantastic! Let’s take a closer look!

A close up of Leicia-chan!

The huge device that makes up the stand does stand out a lot – but by no means does that make Leicia herself less incredible! Her whole body – hips, even her boots all have gradient painting!

Plus she is really sexy!

She isn’t showing much skin, but the little bits that peek out are really something!

This is how she looks from the back!

don’t really like taking photos like this that show only half a figure’s face, but Leicia is beautiful at any angle! I beauty is a beauty no matter how you look at her!! Plus this angle gives a good look at her hips and the unique outfit around them – it’s quite big!

A look from above!

Oooh! The pose really works nicely for a shot like this! By the way, I have no idea what the huge device behind her is… but I’m sure we’ll find out in the story soon….?

Eeeh! that’s not fair!
In the end, all that has been decided is that we shall call it the ‘Device’! 😛

Such a relaxed expression!!

It’s absolutely wonderful!!

I’m super impressed as always with the sculptors and painters – they have really captured redjuice’s illustration perfectly! It’s also really lifelike – just by changing the angle ever so slightly the expression looks so different – it was really difficult to get the right photo!! (albeit, I’m not so sure lifelike is the right word, seen I’m not sure if Leicia is really alive… :P)

Her magnificent body line!

I think the main contributions to her sexy look are her armpits and the area between her breasts… it’s probably because they are fairly rare places to see on a figure. When you suddenly get to see them on a figure they are all the more compelling to look at, don’t you think? It’s really hard to pin point just why she looks so sexy though!!

And of course the service shot!

Really!!!?

Gakkun… you really do your job so well!! ^^

The device has a little secret of its own!

Take a look at the wing-like part with the blue line on it.

This part opens and closes!!
It can open and close to any point, so you just need to find the point that you want to display it at.

A closer look on the inside of the device!

It might be quite hard to see in this photo… but it’s really impressive how detailed it is in there…

The incredible thing is, the device is made using 3D data that redjuice made himself!!

Obviously the final brush-ups were done by the 3D team, but to think the design was done by the illustrator himself!! This is one of the first times that the 3D model was actually used to help draw up the 2D version! ^^;

The inside of the device was also all done by redjuice!

From ‘BEATLESS’, currently serialized in Newtype:

1/8th Scale Leicia!
But that’s not all!

The figure is part of the ‘BEATLESS Introduction Set’, which also comes with a special guidebook which features a prologue to the novel, a list of terminology, various illustrations, character designs and more!
