Fugu Creation is proud to present their first statue dedicated to the cult manga City Hunter, work of the master Tsukasa Hojo.
This highly detailed statue captures the charismatic character of Umibozu (Falcon in English version), former mercenary, professional cleaner and imposing colossus whose physique alone is enough to scare off the bandits.
The scene takes place inside the Cat?s Eye cafe, a private meeting place for the City Hunter family watched over by Umibozu. Naturally shy, he does not like to be the center of attention. Affected by an excessive phobia of cats, in particular kittens, we are pleased to offer you an alternative scene that will certainly not leave you indifferent. Here he strikes a pose in his bartender outfit with a bazooka M20 on his shoulder.
The modeling succeeds in staging this imposing figure in an elegant posture and brings out all the details: from the stitching lines to the drapery of the clothes through the embroidery of the apron.
Applying textures to each item of clothing helps give them a more tailored look. The head and forearms are devoid of it to remain faithful to the manga style.
A subtle touch of realism has been brought to the character?s lines, bringing him closer to the more elaborate drawings of the manga while retaining his characteristic features known to all.
The base honors the license and the character through its reminders and visual references. In front of the base, the slate has the mention ?XYZ?, code to write on the message board of Shinjuku station to request the services of ?City Hunter?. Around the base, the repetition of the ?Baka Baka? pattern, like the crow that hunts the dragonfly, characteristic of moments of bewilderment and ridicule. Under the base is an engraved metal plate with the information on the product and the part number of this limited edition.
