TOYS Deus Machina Demon Bane Al-Azif Figure - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» Japanese manufacturer "Beat" has started solicitations for a 1/7 scale Deus Machina Demon Bane Al-Azif figure which measures 19cm (7.48") tall from the bottom of her slip-on shoes to the top of her over-the-head fingers. Al-Azif is the embodiment of the Necronomicon, a tome authored by an Mad Arab named Abdul Alhazred as imagined by one H.P. Lovecraft.

Al is in a stunted pose where her knees are seemingly wobbly and her arms are hefted towards the heavens. She could be initiating a funky chicken-ish dance or perhaps the sculptor caught her at the tail-end of a jumping-jack move. Whatever the motivation, Azif nevertheless looks fetching with her stringy violet tresses and big green eyes. Preorders are welcome to ship in August 2010 at JPY8400 or US$89.90 from NCS.

Demon Bane Another Blood 1/8 Figure - Preorder

In the Demon Bane mythos, a struggling sleuth named Kurou Daijuuji gets an offer he can't refuse. Charged with the retrieval of a mysterious tome for an inordinate sum of cash, Kurou bumps into a waif named Al Azif... who turns out to be the embodiment of the book he's looking for. In quick measure, Al Azif and Kurou form a bond and the two find themselves embroiled in the midst of a battle between two factions.
Al Azif has enjoyed a number of toy incarnations but the upcoming figure from Max Factory is based on the Another Blood persona from Kishin Hisho Demonbane. Scaled at 1/8 and measuring 14cm, A.B's hair is pink to match her frilly crimson attire, floppy hat, and blood-red eyes. Her pose may be likened to that of a blooming flower. Pricing is set at JPY7800 or US$78.90 from NCS. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late July 2008.
