Mego/Popy Devilman V.9

[Confessional]

Been a couple years since I made one, and still haven't finished V.4 (Glow-in-the-Dark) yet, but here comes number 9…

Metallic red base on the head and a two-tone shimmering design with iridescent antique silver accents across the body.

Not nearly as pretty in these photos, but you get the idea.

That's a wicked sculpt

cool, love the paint work, reminds me of a worn 70s vinyl toy

^^ Good eye!

Exactly, an homage to the history of a toy captured in playwear… I kept thinking about a worn Popy Ultraman or an old Bullmark sofubi.

Ed motivated me to get back to these projects with his crazy run of recent (excellent!) customs, so there's more (with a little luck the Fiend gets done today) to come.

Thank Meule, I forgot how much I liked that sculpt too… based it on the original Go Nagai manga with a smirk on his face. Much of the early Devilman drawings are asymmetrical, unlike his move to anime where he's super slick in design. I like the weird energy of the drawings much more.

Looks like you put a lot of work into him.

Great color scheme. I think I want a Mego Devilman.

Wow that looks amazing!

^^ Thanks all!… cleaning up the last three casts I still have, so I guess I'm making a dozen variants.

Fantastic looking custom, it looks like it could have been released!
