Any fans of this Japanese series?
It's based on an Anime and Manga, about humans and demons "merging" and becoming either a human with demonpowers, or a "demonically possessed" human.
I've always liked the series (it's very hardhitting), and started collecting the figures.
This guy in France has a very nice site with all the figures:
Plastic Devilman : Zenon Fewture
Plastic Devilman : Devilman Fewture A
Plastic Devilman : Jinmen Fewture
The figures range from 6 inch to 12 inch, going from humans to "the Big Bad", Zenon. A lot of the demon figures are very weird ( a turtle that absorbs enemies into his shield, consuming then over years), Psycho Genie ( a big woman's head on legs). It's Japanese, so you can expect that....
The figures were released internationally through Diamond, but they were "adapted" for US audiences.
So Silene and Devilman Lady are originally nude, but the US versions had a crudely sculpted "bra" on them.
It goes without saying that I collect the Japanese versions.
You can choose between creator Go Nagai (of Mazinger fame) original (more cartoonish) versions (like in the manga), and the more gothic Fewture versions.
I was lucky enough to get a "private audience" with Go Nagai himself, where he signed a carded Silene for me, and sketched a Mazinger.
Any other fans out there?
