 Acro has announced the Kaiju Remix Series x Takeya Windom figure, this is the first figure designed by Takayuki Takeyawith an assist from Yoshiki Fujimoto, with more to come. This figure stands approx. 30cm tall, and will retail for 22,500 yen. It can be pre-ordered from Acro and other retailers with release scheduled for Feb 2025. I have been involved in the KAIJU REMIX series, succeeding my dear friend Yasushi Nirasawa. I was born in the same year as him (1963), and like many others, my childhood was heavily influenced by the era of epoch-making creations such as special effects and manga. The opening of Ultraman left a particularly strong impression on me (it started with Ultra Q), and the first thing I wrote in my life was the word "Ultraman". Of course, I also became fascinated with Ultra Seven, and even after a long time, I am still fascinated by the designs of the capsule monsters such as Windom and Micras, Eleking, King Joe, and many others. I feel a sense of responsibility to take over from Yasushi Nirasawa, but I think it's most important to enjoy it to the fullest! I'd be happy if people of all ages could enjoy the arrangements I made with respect for the original! I designed Windom with an arrangement concept that emphasizes that it is a support weapon for Ultra Seven. I can't stop thinking about how Windam must have been a creature from some other planet, and then modified after various events... but in my memory, he was often on the losing side, so I wanted to equip him with a powerful weapon, and equipped him with two pieces of equipment from the same series as the Ice Slinger on his back to strengthen his fighting power. However, I also wanted to preserve his lovable mood, and the arrangement was based on the hidden theme of "It would be great to have a partner like this." The modeling was done by Keiki Fujimoto, who created it 100% digitally. I am extremely grateful that he was able to improve my rough arrangement to a wonderful level of completion! Recently, I have been enjoying imagining this guy moving in CG in my mind, toying with the Guts Alien people. Takayuki Takeya ACRO's KAIJUREMIX recreates monsters with universal designs with loving arrangements. This is the first time I have participated in this series, which I have enjoyed as a user for some time. Windom is a capsule monster that first appeared in the first episode of Ultra Seven. It looks mechanical, but has the setting of a monster and comical movements, making it cool and charming, making it a true "Ultra Monster". Arranged by Takeya Takayuki, it has details that make it seem as if it will start moving at any moment, making a sound, and a more powerful body. It's not just cool, it has a somewhat silly appearance. When I first saw the design arrangement that fully expresses Windom's charm and character, I couldn't help but scream out loud. it's easy to imagine it bending its long arms to deal a great blow to its opponent lol . When it came to sculpting it, I felt like I was asking Takeya for help. I was a little confused by the mechanical mold, which I don't usually make, but I aimed for a beautiful silhouette and a sexy surface composition, and ultimately created it as much as time would allow. I hope you will enjoy it by having it at hand! Fujimoto Yoshiki
