Bandai reminds us that Aegis is the only character in the Persona series

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.

Best Aegis ever.
Hot damn. Best aegis ever.
Wow. Definitely going to save up for this one.

Still incredibly sad there's so little of the other characters. Shinjiro? Yosuke? Human Teddie, even!
Meh, really looks too close to the significantly cheaper figma.
I beat you to the punch Jonathan. XD
im going to need a shelf just for aegises aegii?
Ordered, she's a little bigger than the figma but the die-cast appeals to me, as well as her faces. Now if only I could get my hands on an Aegis nendo... :3
Already own the COSPA version and personally... I like the COSPA one better. The faces looks weird to me here.
@ReaperShadCat: Totally agree with you. I love Aegis but other characters don't get any love. Specially the male ones. Yeah, I know probably boys don't sell well (I'd kill for a Ryoji but those mentioned would be awesome too!). Even so, how about giving us the other girls like FeMC, Chie or Naoto? I hope the P4 anime fixes this, not even MC has a figure lol.

Anyway, this Aegis looks nice (reminds me a bit of Alter version, which is my favorite) but I already have the figma so I'm probably passing her, I need to recover from August Hell.
===="Yeah, I know probably boys don't sell well (I'd kill for a Ryoji but those mentioned would be awesome too!)."

It's one of the things that most annoy me about a lot of these toylines, tbh. They also tend to skip smaller characters.
It's localized as "Aigis" ;)

Anyways, that's a damn pretty figure. Her figma is one of my favorite toys, and this looks fantastic. What's the scale of this (my work's internet is being slow...) I'll probably add this to my Aigis collection.
I'm hoping she has magnetic arms like the soul of chokogin Mazinger Z. Definitely loving the chrome and the detail in her face, the only thing that worries me is that the articulation in her torso looks limited but it can't be any worse than the figma.
Someone please give me a pose-able protagonist!!!!
:( not more Aegis.... Why can't we get some male character love?!?
