"Gans Boy U-2" 1/12 Scaled Action Figure by Damtoys x Kow Yokoyama
Featured here are images of "Gans Boy U-2" = the first 1/12 scaled Action Figure designed by Damtoys in collaboration with Mr. Kow Yokoyama, the father of Japanese Science Fiction Military! Being a huge fan of "Kow Yokoyama" is one thing, but being able to (possibly) own a affordable Yokoyama articulated action figure, sure would be something!
PRODUCT PRESS: "Through joint efforts with Mr. Yokoyama, the classic Ma.K Gans has finally been combined with the classic Damtoys U-2 Pilot, designed as an Action Figure with high play value.
The rich brushstrokes and color changes are faithful to the elaborate hand-painting technique advocated by Mr. Yokoyama, instead of traditional machine painting. Exploring based on the original design, a more detailed adjustment has made this Gans Boy even cuter & more well-proportionate. Damtoys has used soft PVC material for details such as the antenna, which greatly improves both safety and play value."
Pre-orders has since launched online here, priced at 580 RMB (approx. US$81 / SG$112), with an expected 1st quarter 2020 ship. You might also want to check in with your regular hobby retailer(s for availability and pricing where you are at.
