During the PS2 era, KOS-MOS may have reigned supreme for me, but she was far from the only robot female in the universe. As I later learned, there was at least one other noteworthy one - Aegis from Persona 3. There were also another two from the same universe, Metis and Labrys, but those are a story for another day.

Considering how many JRPGs I played back in the day (much less these days given how a good chunk of them aren't my taste anymore) I feel I might be the last person on the planet to actually have lived through the PS2 era to find about Aegis, as I actually learned a bit about her through Persona Q, the Etrian Odyssey based game with the mish mash of Persona 3 and 4 casts. Naturally, I'm pretty sure what I do know of her probably just scratches the surface, as that game did a pretty good job of watering down the Persona 4 cast.

Intrigued by her design (but not enough to actually do the life story research), I kept an eye open for a good price on the Figma. Turns out she's not that particularly expensive, probably because of her relative obscurity. Anyway, turns out there are three iterations of the character and at least one recolour.

Long story short is ended up getting this particular release, which is the most pimped out Figma that I could find for her, though I wish some of the accessories from her Heavy Weapons version made it to this set.

This Aegis is actually from the Persona 4 fighting game. Why is a Persona 3 character in this game? I don't know... probably because MONEY.

Furthermore, this is apparently something called the Famitsu Original Colour version, which is a palette swap of the character you could download provided you had a code from the actual magazine.

With that out of the way, lets talk about the actual figure itself.

Aegis comes with many toys, with two expressions, a removable visor, and what is probably best termed as a clusterfuck of weaponry attached to her back Doc Ock style. Naturally she has many hands to make it all work, a stand, and a muzzle flash effect for her Gatling Gun.

Unlike KOS-MOS, Aegis is definitely more mechanical in appearance, and reminds me very much of an old school wind up toy, which I actually dig. This aesthetic is actually better pronounced on the original colours where shes rocking blonde hair and gold accents rather than the silver here. Naturally, being a zany Japanese creation, this battle android rocks a tie and a collar.

As I've mentioned, the design itself is quite nice and her build reminds me very much of a dancer (hence all my half ass dancing poses). Graceful as she looks, she is somewhat limited by the Figma 1.0 body, particularly around the waist and hip areas. Her feet are... something else. Reminds me very much of Goatmen from Diablo. Unfortunately, unlike other releases, it appears that this iteration of the Figma did not come with the plastic inserts which would have helped with standing unaided so she's pretty much stand bound for life.

The paintwork is impressive as always in how clean they are, even on the tiny silver accents on her body, as well as the white accent on her weaponry. Speaking of little touches, the electrical wiring for her... I want to say T-Shirt cannon... is a nice touch as well.

Overall, I like the set. From the various pieces of artwork that I've seen, this Figma appears to be a pretty good embodiment of the character. As mentioned a bit limited in articulation due to the 1.0 body, but hey, hindsight is 20/20 as it were. I'm not sure how kitted out Aegis is, but from a weapons perspective she's not exactly going to be outdoing KOS-MOS any time soon.

Furthermore, this is apparently something called the Famitsu Original Colour version, which is a palette swap of the character you could download provided you had a code from the actual magazine.

With that out of the way, lets talk about the actual figure itself.

Aegis comes with many toys, with two expressions, a removable visor, and what is probably best termed as a clusterfuck of weaponry attached to her back Doc Ock style. Naturally she has many hands to make it all work, a stand, and a muzzle flash effect for her Gatling Gun.

Unlike KOS-MOS, Aegis is definitely more mechanical in appearance, and reminds me very much of an old school wind up toy, which I actually dig. This aesthetic is actually better pronounced on the original colours where shes rocking blonde hair and gold accents rather than the silver here. Naturally, being a zany Japanese creation, this battle android rocks a tie and a collar.

As I've mentioned, the design itself is quite nice and her build reminds me very much of a dancer (hence all my half ass dancing poses). Graceful as she looks, she is somewhat limited by the Figma 1.0 body, particularly around the waist and hip areas. Her feet are... something else. Reminds me very much of Goatmen from Diablo. Unfortunately, unlike other releases, it appears that this iteration of the Figma did not come with the plastic inserts which would have helped with standing unaided so she's pretty much stand bound for life.

The paintwork is impressive as always in how clean they are, even on the tiny silver accents on her body, as well as the white accent on her weaponry. Speaking of little touches, the electrical wiring for her... I want to say T-Shirt cannon... is a nice touch as well.

Overall, I like the set. From the various pieces of artwork that I've seen, this Figma appears to be a pretty good embodiment of the character. As mentioned a bit limited in articulation due to the 1.0 body, but hey, hindsight is 20/20 as it were. I'm not sure how kitted out Aegis is, but from a weapons perspective she's not exactly going to be outdoing KOS-MOS any time soon.

But hey, KOS-MOS rules them all.

During the PS2 era, KOS-MOS may have reigned supreme for me, but she was far from the only robot female in the universe. As I later learned, there was at least one other noteworthy one - Aegis from Persona 3. There were also another two from the same universe, Metis and Labrys, but those are a story for another day.

Considering how many JRPGs I played back in the day (much less these days given how a good chunk of them aren't my taste anymore) I feel I might be the last person on the planet to actually have lived through the PS2 era to find about Aegis, as I actually learned a bit about her through Persona Q, the Etrian Odyssey based game with the mish mash of Persona 3 and 4 casts. Naturally, I'm pretty sure what I do know of her probably just scratches the surface, as that game did a pretty good job of watering down the Persona 4 cast.

Intrigued by her design (but not enough to actually do the life story research), I kept an eye open for a good price on the Figma. Turns out she's not that particularly expensive, probably because of her relative obscurity. Anyway, turns out there are three iterations of the character and at least one recolour.

Long story short is ended up getting this particular release, which is the most pimped out Figma that I could find for her, though I wish some of the accessories from her Heavy Weapons version made it to this set.

This Aegis is actually from the Persona 4 fighting game. Why is a Persona 3 character in this game? I don't know... probably because MONEY.

The paintwork is impressive as always in how clean they are, even on the tiny silver accents on her body, as well as the white accent on her weaponry. Speaking of little touches, the electrical wiring for her... I want to say T-Shirt cannon... is a nice touch as well.

Overall, I like the set. From the various pieces of artwork that I've seen, this Figma appears to be a pretty good embodiment of the character. As mentioned a bit limited in articulation due to the 1.0 body, but hey, hindsight is 20/20 as it were. I'm not sure how kitted out Aegis is, but from a weapons perspective she's not exactly going to be outdoing KOS-MOS any time soon.

But hey, KOS-MOS rules them all.

I was feeling pretty dark and creepy when I came up with the idea of this. I was going to make the head of goat a sheep instead but for some strange reason I felt Burley standing behind me screaming, "Make it a goat! Make it a goat!!!" So to make the voices stop I made it a goat. But seriously goatmen will kill you.

This drawing is a pretty good size for such detail, and it was a bitch in making it too. I started thinking that I probably bit off more than I could chew. Once I finished it I had no regrets.
