Snail Shell Studio, the Chinese brand specializing in original mecha girl articulated figures, has finally released the latest sales information for their "Phantom Devil Mech Shell - YING" 1/12 scale articulated figure, part of their Snowdrop Project. This highly anticipated release, following the popular "Wasp Girl Weng Jiang," features a deluxe dual body set designed to satisfy collectors!
Illustrated by artist @XIAO葉有囍, the figure combines mysterious phantom devil aesthetics with mechanical styling to create a cool, short-haired beauty. She wears a minimalist, tech-inspired dress, appearing ethereal and harmless. However, upon "demonization," she sprouts long black horns, dons a sharp black mask, and gains small black wings. This transformation is complemented by sharply structured mechanical boots and an incredibly imposing scythe weapon, showcasing a powerful yet menacing contrast that's undeniably captivating!
September 2021 Update
Snail Shell Studio's original mecha girl, "Phantom Devil Mech Shell - YING," is a 1/12 scale articulated figure featuring a dual body system. This allows for both her soft, adorable pre-demonization regular form and her fierce, fully demonized battle form! The main body stands approximately 16.5 cm tall and comes with a wealth of accessories. These include horned interchangeable hairstyles (5 bangs options, 1 medium-long hair option) to suit different forms, along with 5 interchangeable faceplates: expressionless, shy, maniacal laugh, smiling, and masked. All faceplates retain the movable eyeball design. Additionally, there are 7 pairs of interchangeable hands, perfect for dynamic posing in various scenarios!
Furthermore, the weapon set includes a scythe and a blade whip, both featuring irregularly shaped teeth. The blade whip's connecting points utilize ball joints, allowing for free disassembly and assembly to achieve desired lengths. Beyond the hilt and backpack shell, which are crafted from highly transparent fluorescent material, the outer waist parts for both the regular cheongsam and battle forms also use transparent soft materials. This design ensures full articulation of the figure's body while revealing the internal skeleton, adding significant depth and layering to the overall aesthetic! Collectors can fully enjoy her cute, sexy, and cool appearances.
▼ The robot doll's head and leg connections feature ball joint designs. The three wires at the back of the waist are made from soft tubing material, assisting the figure in various poses.
▼ Purchase Bonus: Chibi YING double-sided, dual-form acrylic keychain.
