Demon Slayer: Akaza Figuarts Zero, review
Demon Slayer
Demon Slayer's brand - Kimetsu no Yaiba shows no signs of weakening and Tamashii Nations is doing really well with a wide range of characters coming out one after the other. This copy of Akaza for the Figuarts Zero line that arrived in the editorial office as an Italian preview, is taken from the blockbuster feature film Demon Slayer Movie - Mugen Train.The character
Akaza is a demon with patterned tattoos all over his body and looking like a young boy. In his way of moving and expressing himself, he seems in all respects an artist who points to what he calls "Supreme Art", or the maximum martial power. Akaza has spent over a hundred years of battle and training, and battles have led him to defeat powerful opponents. He feels disgust for the weak, killing them without hesitation. | the packaging. Also in the front portion we can see, on the left side, a photo of Akaza and the logos inherent to the product: at the top left the logo of the anime Demon Slayer and diametrically opposite the holographic quality seal that certifies the product as original and the two Tamashii logos Nations and Bandai Spirits. Moving to the back we find the official photo of the statue that will be paired with the new Figuarts Zero by Rengoku (sold separately) and the writings that enhance and enhance the details. Internally it is already assembled and protected by two blisters and a layer of transparent film to protect the paints and the most pointed parts that could suffer shocks or damage during transport.
Akaza
The figure of Azaka as a whole is about 18 cm high, and is entirely made of PVC. Like all previous releases of this series, once again the company has used stage effects that act as a base, in fact, we find the demon wrapped in smoke in a pose in mid-air as it prepares to launch its devastating attacks. physical, with the palm of the left hand extended forward and the right hand gripped while charging a lethal punch. The scenic base, which also acts as a small diorama, sees the smoke rising from Akaza's very rapid movements, along with small rocks that explode in mid-air. Under the character's feet there is also a small semi-transparent stage effect in a purplish blue color, to simulate the impact of the jump. The sculpture is certainly of very good workmanship, as is the painting even if, going to the product, we find some signs of color smearing in the hair but that in the end absolutely does not affect the final product.
Conclusions
The figure of Akaza for the Figuarts Zero line is really cool, although we see him appearing only in the final part of the Mugen Train arc, he is one of those characters not to be left behind absolutely escape, particularly if we are collecting the various Figuarts ZERO by Tamashii Nations.Tamashii Nations is distributed in Italy by Cosmic Group.
