Re: Hot Toys - Artist Collection: Mamoru Oshii's - Kerberos?
this armour is the wwii german soldier armour (hence why it looks like a knight). the takara et al versions are from 1950's-2000's and are all japanese anti terrorist police (except the green type 61 armour on takaras tetsurou kai figure, that is JGSDF military armour). the takara panzer cops were original designs at the time they were released but were later incorporated into the tokyo war book. the DML and Platz hobby figures were based on the movie stray dog set in late 90's, medicom did 4 figures based on the comic, stray dog movie, red spectacles movie and jin roh anime.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
When I saw it was a Kerberos I was interested as I've always liked the design but never had any of the figures.
This one's a bit too fancy in the armour department. A little reminiscent of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Ribbed for pleasure?
