To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Go Nagai as an artist, a new anime was released based on the original Devilman manga. The new anime depicts the original manga ending, which has never been shown as part of the anime. The anime is now streaming worldwide on Netflix. Gecco has released photos and details for a new statue based on the new Devilman Crybaby anime. There are two versions of the statue available. One is the “Real Color Version”, which depicts the characters with more realistic color schemes. The “Teaser Color Version” shows the characters in colors based on the original teaser for the anime. Each statue stands over 27.5″ tall and is cast in polystone.
Currently, the statues are available via Aniplex in Japan, with additional retailers to be added later. Each version is priced at 150,000 Yen (about $1,328 USD). They are due for release in July. You can see the new photos after the jump.

Did not know this was a thing. I'ma go watch it.
So I watched it...I think I need to go lie down for a while now.
I wanted to comment on this a day ago, but I've been far too busy. Simply put, this statue is gorgeous. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of remakes-re-imaginings-retools. Especially so with things I consider to be classics. However, after buying Berserk: Golden Age, I think I'm going to have to knuckle and watch Crybaby despite Go Nagai (to my knowledge) not being directly involved. It's amazing how seeing a stellar statue, along with jones'ing for anything Devilman, is likely going to make me re-up my netflix...Daredevil didn't do it. Luke Cage didn't do it. Iron-fist didn't do it...Amon FTW.
