Briareos (Detail)
A figure range based on the latest Appleseed movie from
creator Masamune Shirow, this figure range has been highly anticipated by fans
of the original manga and does not disappoint. All the figures are good
representations of the characters that they are based upon and represent the
action of Appleseed well.
The Briareos figure (13cm/5.2" approx.) is an interesting one.
On the one hand it is well detailed, has a big
gun and is sturdy and well-balanced. On the other hand it is a bit of dull
figure due to the dark green and grey shades but makes up for this by putting
the character in a striking pose ready to attack with his gun.
One disappointment for me is that you are unable to pose this
figure, which is a bit of shame considering that the gun comes separately, it
seems a missed opportunity. This is no great shakes though, because as I
said before he his in a striking pose which suits the character extremely well.
The other figures of sexy ladies in this range may look better
on your shelf but this figure of Briareos should not be overlooked as it is the only figure in the range that really stands out by itself.
It is more individualistic to the other figures in the rang as
they are just the usual generic characters (three of the other figures -
Cerulean, Viridan and Carmine - are all in the same pose) and this instantly
stands out.
