Alter's Aegis gets painted, is yet another Aegis statue

I mentioned this when I posted about Alter's Aegis during WF2011S, but I'm pretty damn tired of Aegis. She's entered into the pantheon of characters who have been whored out beyond reason. Don't get me wrong; the final painted version of Aegis from Alter is stunning in its detail and quality. I'm not criticizing the effort of the sculptor, the painter or even Alter. I'm just raging that of all the characters across two different Persona games, Aegis is the one that gets all the attention. I want to see somebody else. Anybody else.

OK, enough complaining. Coming in at a rather large 1/6 scale, the level of nit-picky detail really does impress me. When you compare it to the original piece of art, Alter really has made THE definitive Aegis. The work on her arm gears and her hip joints blows every other version away. If you haven't bought any figures of her, this should be the one to get. It seems that you'll get your chance next week, September 14th. As usual, stay tuned to Tomopop for more info.

OK, with this release, can we agree that there doesn't need to be any more versions of Aegis? I know that she's in the upcoming Persona 4 fighting game, but that's a good opportunity to get some figures of different characters. I seriously need a Chie on my desk, stat! Which other Persona characters would you like to see get the 1/6 scale treatment?

Well to be fair, it's based off the cover illustration of the artist's art book, and that book is awesome, so I can enjoy this figure on that level...

....still, ANOTHER AEGIS. I just hope Yukiko gets a rerelease. Plus a larger scale Aegis might be nice, all I have is the figma.
I want this really bad....
The level of detail and the paint job are incredible. Since I don't have any Aegis figures, I won't have any qualms about ordering this one. I wholeheartedly agree though, the rest of the Persona cast deserve some attention. It would be awesome if they made a figure of Dojima for their Altair line!
That's very nice. Pedro's right in that the detailing is outstanding.
I agree too much Aegis but man they nailed the illustration. Looks great.

On a related note, that particular artbook is actually getting an english language release (I think there's some interviews and stuff) in October, in case you can't afford the figure like I can't.
I absolutely agree that they nailed the illustration. It's one of the reasons why this post wasn't filled with rage, merely mild annoyance. You'd be surprised how excellent execution can make up for an over-done character.
Erp, not sure what happened there. Just wanted to say that between this and the Cospa, I'd have a hard time choosing (given the sheer scale). I'll probably get this despite having the Cospa and figma, but I really hope for more new Persona figures. I don't have anything at all against this, though; it's simply gorgeous.
I'm seriously considering picking her up, really just depends on the month/price point. The detailing and colors on this figure are (in my opinion) the best I've ever seen. Leave it to Alter to never fail to amaze and surprise me
I agree on all counts of too much Aigis, but this....this is the ultimate! I own that art book (Shigenori Soejima is my master now!) and I loved the illustration of Aigis that appears on the cover.

Assuming the price on this thing isn't stratospheric, I'll definitely pick it up. All I have is the Aigis figma anyway.
So pretty, but I doubt I'll have the money. I wonder if Stephen's prediction about them re-releasing their previous Aegis figure will come true; I heard a rumor about their molds from 2008 being destroyed but I don't know how true that is.

I would like basically any character besides Yosuke or Naoto but I don't think I'd want them as big as 1/6.
ugh...another freaking Aegis. As nice as she is...I WANT OTHER PERSONA CHARACTERS!

I'd like a Yosuke, P4 Protagonist, Naoto, Chie, Kanji or any other ones besides Aegis. They don't have to be 1/6. I'd be satisfied with 1/8 :D lol Honestly though, I'm not an Aegis fan anyways.

But uh...Aegis looks beautiful. Good job Alter!
P3 is one of my favorite games but I'm not a huge fan of Aegis. I have to admit this is a gorgeous figure though.
I never even finished Persona 4...I found it to be a little boring...I will eventually finish it, but I don't understand the hype behind it...That being said, I didn't like Aegis. I barely used her in the game, but that figure is awesome...so much so, that I just might get it.
I don't get her popularity at all. Granted I didn't play FES, but I doubt her character arc there was amazing enough to dwarf virtually every other character in the series, even if she was the main focus in that.

Gimme a Dojima/Nanako combo, dang it!
Its gorgeous... but I already own the Cospa one. I would like figures of Female Protagonist from P3... or Yukari... or Chie... or Naoto... *sigh*
I love Aegis, and while I'm tired of her hogging all the figure spotlight, holy crap is this figure gorgeous!! I'm unsure of how big something of a 1/6th scale would be, but I'm assuming it's much too big for the space I have available. I only own the figma Aegis, but I would so buy this. I'll have to pass though. :(
I find 90% of the Persona cast to be bland as sin in almost every way, but Aigis has the benefit of at least having a compelling design.
