The first wholly original enemy for the N

APAN line from
RESTORE, sculptor Junnosuke Abe reveals the prototype for “COLLECTLISTER!” Yes, collectors, this piece is a trap designed just for you… of course, I think the trap part is that the figure packs such amazing detail into its 8¼-inches tall frame that no collector can resist buying one! I personally love the shrine-like opening excised into the chest of the figure, a goat idol dwelling within… While goats have a Satanic connotation to Europeans, I find this design reminiscent of Gargamel’s Chinese Zodiac figure line, obviously the one depicting the Year of the Goat. Last year, when this was surely sculpted, was indeed the Year of the Sheep (or Goat, or Ram), so I wonder if that element is replacable with idols for all the Chinese Zodiac beasts… Just a conjecture, but one that would surely be cool if true! Currently being made in Japanese vinyl, this piece is anticipated for a Spring/Summer 2016 release.
