Underverse is proud to announce our collaboration with NetEase and their smash-hit survival game IDENTITY Ⅴ coming in 2020! Ashley Wood will be taking part in their artist collection series and putting his stylized spin on their eerie cast of characters. Ashley Wood is a world reknown artist, art-director, art toy designer, and the founder and CEO of Underverse. It's a great honor for us to create high-end collectibles for Identity V This collaboration has been jointly curated and we are very excited to begin with Joker and Geisha. Ashley Wood has meticulously blended the original aesthetics of each character and integrated his own stylized designs. These high-end figures will also be equipped with special pendants or props of the character and utilize a whole new body, so that the figure can keep the features from the Identity Ⅴ game, but also retain playability and collectibility @identityv @ashleywoodart #identityv #ashleywood #underverse #uvhq #netease #toys #collectibles #designertoys

I was initially under the impression that the Underverse releases were (in-house) "original IPs", but yes it was previously also mentioned; "With an emphasis on strong visuals and dynamic design, licensing partnerships with UV are all well curated and balanced between the the world’s most well known and beloved series to the more underground and subversive. UV prides itself on its eclectic and diverse taste in IP from across the globe."

I am wholly unfamiliar with the game, but here are some handy character guide videos and game footage featuring the Clown and Geisha. Hey, I'm curious about the source, ya know? :p
