Following on from "SAGITTARIUS SEIYA," which was released as the first item in the "Figuarts Zero Touche Métallique" brand lineup, the Gemini Gold Saint from the SAINT SEIYA anime series joins the lineup. This item, which depicts the moment when he is about to unleash his deadly "Galaxian Explosion" in a dynamic, three-dimensional form, is a fascinating statue model that condenses the worldview of SAINT SEIYA, not only in the figure itself, but also in the effects and pedestal.
The Gemini Golden Cloth worn over the entire body is based on the brand concept and is expressed with a hybrid color scheme of gold paint and plating paint. The two expressions used after calculating the overall balance of the appearance are in perfect harmony, achieving a finish worthy of the brand name "Figuarts Zero Touche Métallique"*, which means to express the "texture of metal" through modeling and coloring.
*In French, "Touche" means texture and "Métallique" means metal.
The garment that covers the torso is designed to fit tightly to the body like clothing, and although it is made of metal, it seems to expand and contract freely to match the wearer's movements, giving you a sense of the dynamism depicted in the anime.
Another point to note is the back of the figure, with its large, flowing cape. The draping of the cape's surface gives it a realistic shape that fully conveys the texture of the fabric, and the outstanding shape can be enjoyed from any angle.
The expression has a powerful gaze, filled with the determination to shoot down evil. Thanks to the modeling skills cultivated over many years of "SAINT CLOTH MYTH" and "SAINT CLOTH MYTH EX", the reproduction of the facial expression has reached an extremely high level.
The charm of this statue is also condensed into the depiction of her flowing hair, which sways in undulations, creating an even more dynamic feel.
The right hand is sculpted with the effect of Gemini's largest fist, the "Galaxian Explosion," which is said to be able to shatter the stars of the galaxy. The way the cosmos concentrates in the palm of the hand is expressed by applying gradation coloring to the clear parts. This too is finished without compromise, pursuing colors and shapes that evoke the images of the anime.
The base is made up of stone pillars and stone paving, reminiscent of the "Twelve Zodiacs" that the Golden Saints protect. The base also uses clear parts and gradient paint to express a microcosm rising from the sky, allowing you to fully experience the world of "SAINT SEIYA".
The world of this figure will be expanded even further when displayed alongside the Figuarts Zero Touche Métallique SAGITTARIUS SEIYA (sold separately). You can enjoy a spectacular scene with these two dazzling golden Saints lined up together.
"Figuarts Zero Touche Métallique Gemini Saga" is now available for pre-order in stores!
Stay tuned for future developments in TAMASHII NATIONS' ever-expanding "SAINT SEIYA" series!
