[WARNING]
YOU MUST NOT READ AHEAD OF THIS POINT
Those who learn the secrets of Yoshikage Kira...
...will all explode...
And Another One Bites The Dust!
What is destined to happen will happen!
And what is destroyed once will be destroyed!
Killer Queen number three bomb!
BITE THE DUST!
Boooooom!
So, today's figure is everyone's favorite cat-eared character.
Super Figure Action series number 16, Killer Queen, Yoshikage Kira's stand in
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
This is the second stand of a boss character since The World.
Just look at this cold gaze.
It's so frightening it sent a chill down my spine.
He's got cat ears, but he's nowhere near cute. (Or is he?)
All previous Killer Queen figures were pink so I thought this one would be pink too, but it seems Araki specified the color white for this one.
It looks even creepier.
Maybe they're going to release a second version in pink or something.
This comes with 7 types of hands and Stray Cat.
It's an expressionless stand, so it only has one face.
And, get this - you can take off its stomach cover and put Stray Cat inside.
This brings tears to my eyes!
Leave it to Medicos Entertainment to go where no figure maker has gone before!
Killer Queen's power involves bombs and will destroy anyone that tries to find out about Yoshikage Kira.
It's said that Araki himself wondered how he would beat Killer Queen.
Its attack comes from the Queen song,
Another One Bites The Dust.
The name
Killer Queen is also a Queen song.
It has ball joints in its shoulders, rolling axes in its upper arms, and double ball joints in its elbows.
This figure is 23cm tall, so it's about a 1/1 scale if you consider it Another One Bites The Dust.
Give it a boxcutter and you can experience the Hayato Kawajiri experience. (But be careful with the blade!)
His hip cloth thing is made of a soft material and won't get in the way of action.
The cat skulls are well made too.
And
that pose!
The user, Yoshikage Kira is being released in October.
He'll come with Sheer Heart Attack! (Another Queen song)
I can't wait to stage the battle between these two and the duo of Josuke Higashikata and Crazy Diamond.
