Description
[Product Introduction] Hot Toys' "Movie Masterpiece" series welcomes the CG animated film "Appleseed Alpha," based on the original work by Masamune Shirow and directed by Shinji Aramaki! Introducing Briareos, the cyborg warrior. Briareos is a cyborg who was formerly a member of SWAT. He is equipped with the "Hecatoncheires System," a high-performance information processing system that can control multiple systems in parallel, but due to its high functionality, it cannot perform at its best without proper maintenance. Currently, he earns his living as a mercenary in a ruined New York with his partner and lover, Deunan, but he wishes she would leave this desolate life and walk a new path. Standing approximately 33 cm tall and featuring over 30 points of articulation, this figure perfectly recreates Briareos, the cyborg who acts alongside his lover Deunan Knotts in a ruined New York. The distinctive head shape is intricately sculpted down to the smallest detail, including the eyes and the long, movable "ears." To recreate Briareos's powerful and imposing physique, which conveys a sense of human muscle despite its mechanical design, a new body sculpt was developed. Weathering paintwork and other techniques have been applied throughout to recreate the metallic texture. The clothing and weapons, showcasing Hot Toys' expertise in military items, are also highlights. The costume, including the removable vest, camouflage pants, protectors, belt, and pouches, is precisely finished down to the smallest detail in terms of shape and texture. Briareos's signature sniper rifle and pistol are included as weapons. Various hand parts are also included, allowing for dynamic action poses. The base features a special design with the film's logo. This item, capturing the power and charm of Briareos from the highly anticipated new film in the series, "Appleseed Alpha," is a definitive masterpiece that fans and newcomers alike shouldn't miss!
