AC02 - KERBEROS PANZER JÄGER 1/6th Protect Gear


KERBEROS PANZER JÄGER:
PROTECT GEAR
1/6TH SCALE COLLECTIBLE FIGURE
Following the release of the incredible Samurai Predator Collectible Figure, the first ever collaboration with legendary artist Mr. Takayuki Takeya (竹谷隆之)*, Hot Toys is thrilled to join hands with Mr. Takeya again to bring you a collectible figure of the Protect Gear from Kerberos Panzer Jäger (ケルベロス 鋼鉄の猟犬) which is part of the classic Japanese franchise - Kerberos Saga**. Over the past few years, Hot Toys’ Production Director and Chief Painter, Mr. JC. Hong (홍진철), had been working closely with Mr. Takeya and his team to create the high quality articulated collectible figure.

The Kerberos Panzer Jäger: 1/6th scale Protect Gear Collectible Figure is the latest addition in the Hot Toys’ Artist Collection. It is based on the radio drama by Mr. Mamoru Oshii (押井守) in 2006 called Kerberos Panzer Jäger and the story is set in Germany during World War II before the events of the original Kerberos timeline.

The collectible figure features newly sculpted and uniquely painted black full body armor, a head with the iconic mask and light up function, an interchangeable head sculpt with face of a Panzer Company trooper, detailed weapons and accessories, and a specially designed debris diorama base.

The Kerberos Saga is a military sci-fi franchise originally created in the late 80s by Japanese writer and filmmaker, Mr. Mamoru Oshii, who has also directed the popular anime sci-fi film - Ghost in the Shell. One of the most iconic elements in the Kerberos Saga is the full body armor called Protect Gear that the characters wear and its amazingly cool design has even inspired many adaptations in video games and movies.

I don't think I really have any choice in this... getting it for sure. Who has it cheapest?

Pretty sure we've seen shots of this figure in toy show exhibitions over the last 10 years, haven't we?

I honestly found this to be a little underwhelming for its price.

I guess I still prefer the more bulky semi-modern armored look that Takara did back in those days.

Yeah, after 24 hours, I think I'm not that hot for the figure anymore. 28600 yen, that's over $300 shipped.

There was a time when I would have preordered this instantly. Guess time changes. It just doesn't look right to me. emoticon

And all those Three A de Plume figures kind of wear off the novelty as well... so now it's yet another figure of a dude with a helmet and gas mask.

Nice head sculpt reminds me of Ed Harris.

I'm somewhat underwhelmed... he almost looks skinny in spite of wearing armor.

Plus, those strange ridges make it look like ornamental armor, not like something made for actual combat.

Takara's designs were not nearly as detailed, of course, but I still prefer their menacing, bulky look, all things considered.

As always, the Hot Toys head sculpt is first-class though emoticon

Its probably safe to say Takara won't be making much more jin-roh?

Long time no see!

Yeah, Takara has been quiet on the 1/6 news for a really long time now...kinda sad though, really love their Jin-Roh figures.
