If it's one thing we're not short on, it's figures of Aegis from Persona 3. There's been one from Alter, Kotobukiya, Max Factory, Gift, and COSPA, as well as kit makers Osiris and Dimension Diver. Granted the number of releases of Aegis figures is not on the level of certain characters like Kanu from Ikkitousen or Tamaki from ToHeart2 but it's enough to make us grind our teeth at the lack of support for the other cast members.
Now Bandai is stepping into the ring with their own poseable Aegis from their Chogokin line. And this one is above the rest for one reason only: gold chrome! Shiny objects always win people over! ...well, maybe not. Bandai does have a lovely face going for their version with some beautiful, swaying hair. Other faces include a closed eyes face and an action face. Aegis will also include three sets of weapons to replace her standard arm. The body is very basic but it's not like Aegis has much of a body to begin with.
Just like the Alter version of Aegis, I can't stop looking into the face of this one. Of course, no telling how the actual retail version will look like. Guess we'll all find out when she's released in September. Dig in your bank account and look for ¥5,000 if you want to add this poseable version to your collection.
