Rotobox Vinyl Anatomica will continue the saga of the heroic Celsius, with the upcoming August release of his nemesis, Debametall Fahrenheit, from Kuso Vinyl. What’s the story behind this evil twin of sorts? Here’s our synopsis of the evil one’s origin drawn from Rotobox’s detailed FAQ. Celsius and Fahrenheit are the now separated good and evil halves of the deceased Mashin Celsius. While Fahrenheit bears a close resemblance to Celsius, there are notable differences – Fahrenheit is mute and relies on a blackboard to communicate (barely), prefers edged weapons over the projectile-based weaponry of Celsius, and finally he’s pure evil.
As the evil counterpart to Celsius, Fahrenheit closely resembles Celsius – he shares the same torso unit but has a new head unit complete with cunning expression. Drawn from the backstory, this modular design is starting to become an increasingly common approach at balancing the benefits of a platform with the need for sculptural variety.
Garbed in a red cape and matching bandanna, the first Fahrenheit OG figure (7”) comes with a blackboard accessory which doubles as a stand for four swords. Limited to 300 pieces, the figure will drop in August with a suggested retail of $79.
