It's embarrassing, how much I want these. They would look splendid standing next to Spider Jerusalem and (Gaiman's) Death on top of my computer.

I earned my Kotaku star with a Professor Layton joke. Only two days after my first disemvowelment, no less.

*sniffles* Oh, memories.

Ah man, you show these off, but you never mentioned that Prototype Revoltech Layton I sent you guys?

[www.bifuteki.com]

I mean a single pose figure like this... meh... But with the revoltech one I will be able to do Layton photo comics of any pose and subject/joke/etc...

Oh wait, bobble heads? That makes them much cooler, but I'd still rather get the revoltech other this....

.... Maybe I should get both....

interestingly enough, did you know that a lot of knockoff toys actually come from the same factories the originals were produced in?? I was told by a rather major toy designer that sometimes companies produce, say 20,000 pieces then send another 10,000 not so well produced ones out the back door.. #streetfighter

Maybe because it's the fake pirate version?
I dunno about gaming toys, but it's already happening for anime figures.

Figures that really looks good and perfectly resembles anime characters are something relatively new (few years ago we only had garage kits, which were kits people had to assemble and paint themselves, and the material wasn't very good).

Now, with new technology, materials and techniques, figures are being sold more than ever.

As one would imagine, this opened a new chinese pirating market.

And it's becoming harder and harder to tell the pirate version from the original, fake ones reproducing even details from the original box though the figure itself, still looking very similar, has a far worse material quality and paint job.

Just google for "fake figures" or "fake nendoroids" if you wanna know more about it. #streetfighter

In reply to Nero Figure Has A Devil On His Shoulder
Speaking of, does anyone ever play through this game 4 times to unlock the modes where you can go "devil trigger" the entire game?

It's frustrating to me that I have to beat the game 3-4 times before I can play the most fun mode. The game is difficult and frustrating enough (especially camera issues that cause me to fall) that I only beat it once and started my second playthrough.

I love the fast-paced action of it, and the Dante part was awesome as well, but a guy can only spend so much time on a single game. Y'know?! #devilmaycry4

This is pretty cool, I actually enjoyed DMC4 a lot, I'd probably rank it as my second favourite next to DMC3, Nero was surprisingly fun to play as. #devilmaycry4

@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.:
According to the game, they should. But that would likely make for a less striking figure.

Then again, they are already in the same pose just mirrored, so who the fuck knows what they are thinking!

@Kicken: I'd say the poses are very much dissimilar.

-Nero's right hand is palm up
-Demon's left hand is palm down

-Nero's holding the sword in his left hand pointing outwards from his body
-Demon's right hand is holding the sword inwards towards the front of his body
