Anime Kaiju No. 8 Ashirou Mina 1/18 Scale Figure

From Kaiju No. 8, which has been much talked about for its powerful anti-monster battles and new type of hero image, Ashirou Mina has been turned into a 1/18 scale figure. In a world where monsters are a daily threat to people, she is the young captain of the third unit of the Japanese Defense Force, which exterminates monsters. She is a childhood friend of the main character, Hibino Kafka, and is someone who shared her childhood ambition to annihilate monsters. With the motif of her calmly staring down a monster with her special large firearm, her armament has been deformed to its maximum size to recreate the powerful depiction in the movie.

Her partner, Bakko, is by her side, and although the pose is static, it gives off a powerful impression that conveys her overwhelming fighting power.

Her battle suit, weapons powerful enough to pierce the core of the monster, and even the rubble at her feet are all precisely crafted to heighten the sense of tension when confronting a powerful monster. Beneath her calm demeanor, Ashirogane Mina hides a passion for dedicating her life to defeating monsters to protect people, and is sculpted in a way that is unique to Kaiyodo.

Her cool charm is captured in her gaze as she gazes straight ahead. The way her long hair flutters in a ponytail creates a sense of action back and forth in this quiet pose. Bakuko is a highlight not only as a companion that accentuates Mina's slim body, but also as a character. Her robust physique and fur are detailed to give a sense of wildness.

The special equipment with a large caliber barrel is about 12 cm long! The design is precisely sculpted to give it a sense of functionality as a weapon.
