Japanese artist Face Oka brings his minimalist style to Tatsuki Fujimoto’s devilishly popular manga / anime hit, Chainsaw Man. Oka’s style of lightening up dark, serious matters is a natural fit for the story’s over-the-top, dark humour.
In collaboration with AllRightsResserved’s Fwenclub, Oka has immortalized the story’s three main characters as vinyl art toys. The once hapless Denji—who eventually becomes the Chainsaw Man— and his empowering friend (and Chainsaw Devil) Pochita will be available as a 2-pack. Each bears Oka’s signature face styles. Denji wears the upside down smile, while Pochita’s smile graces its chainsaw blade — a frown on one side and a smile on the flip. Finally, there’s the devious Makima, the leader of a devil hunter team who turns out to be a devil herself. In contrast to the first two figures, Makima is presented as a vinyl bust.
Editions of 200, the Chainsaw Man vinyl art toys by Face Oka including the Pochita & Denji (6.3″ & 9″, HK$2,830/$362) 2-pack and the Makima (6.6″, HK$1,570/$200) bust will be available on Thursday (6.22) at 8 PM PDT from the DDT Store. In the meantime, DDT is asking collectors to ‘register interest’ in the figures through the online store.
