My fourth Figma arrived, and I’m still being constantly impressed by this line. After Samus Aran, Link and Yukiko Amagi comes Pit, the angel hero of Kid Icarus. Released in Japan in April, I ordered him from Ami Ami together with a spare. Apparently Max Factory and Good Smile will be re-releasing Link and Samus shortly so maybe my second Pit wasn’t that great of an investment. But still, for 2910 yen this is an awesome, awesome figure.
This version of Pit is obviously based on his latest game, Kid Icarus: Uprising. It’s not a problem with me since his original design was slightly goofy and not nearly as iconic as his gold and silver cartridge companions. This means oversized hands and feet, as well as the blade bow. Overall he’s a very close match to his game counterpart. Literally the only changes are a slightly simpler laurel crown and some removed etching on his armlets. Heck, even the bottom of his sandals have texture to them! The painting is excellent, especially the hem of his lower tunic. I’m also a big fan of his eyes, which look better than the slightly silly looking Link. However, that’s also due to the game’s superior artwork.
