Preview of Fantasy Figure Gallery: A Touch of Ice by Luis Royo, Yamato

A Touch of Ice
Based on art by Luis Royo
Series: Fantasy Figure Gallery
Product Type: PVC Statue
Product Size: approximately 6″ (16 cm) tall
Package Type: Window Box
Shipping:  TBD (2010)
Available at Kirin Hobby.

Hinatunaone, Woman of the Sands. That is what he named her. Drawn by his own hand from the sands of a distant land, she appeared at once adorned as if waiting ever vigilant for her creator, her mate to come; yet at the same time invaded by a sense of privilege… and a touch of ice.

A new release in the Fantasy Figure Gallery series! A Touch of Ice is based on art by Luis Royo and sculpted by Shunjii Hagii. This is the 2nd release in the Fantasy Figure Gallery series that is based on Luis Royo’s art. Royo’s previous release in the FFG series was Medusa’s Gaze.

I remember talking to one of Yamato’s reps when the Medusa prototype was first introduced. They were concerned about the production quality of the statue because of the intricate tattoos, particularly on the legs underneath the pantyhose. The final production of the figure came out quite nicely and was very well received by fans and collectors. We expect A Touch of Ice will have the same high quality and exquisite detail.

Luis Royo’s A Touch of Ice is approximately 6 inches (15.25 cm) tall and will come in a window box packaging. The figure is expected to be released some time in 2010.

Now accepting orders for A Touch of Ice.

First look at FFG Golden Lover figure by Julie Bell, Yamato

Fantasy Figure Gallery: Golden Lover
Based on art by Julie Bell
Product Type: PVC Statue
Product Size: approximately 8.25″ (21 cm) tall
Package Type: Window Box
Shipping: November 2009
Available at Kirin Hobby.

Here’s a first look at the upcoming Golden Lover statue from the Fantasy Figure Gallery series produced by Yamato. The statue is the first figure in the FFG series that’s based on an original illustration by Julie Bell, the renowned artist in the sci-fi and fantasy genre. You can find Julie’s work on the cover of various novels, comic books, trading cards (Lilandra from Marvel X-Men), including some ad campaigns (with Vallejo) for companies such as Nike and Coca Cola.

At a glance, the face of the woman, the smooth skin, and the detailed fins of the serpent really jump at you. Compared to the original illustration, the figure has softer features yet still captures the rapture the woman feels. The fins are exquisitely detailed with all the serrations and are made of a translucent material. The effect of the fins comes off quite well and makes the entire figure appear to glow in the light. All in all, a very impressive figure from Yamato.

Now accepting orders for Golden Lover.
You can find other figures from the Fantasy Figure Gallery series at Kirin Hobby.

Thanks to Yamato for the sample used in this review.
