Nosferatu2023 

Nosferatu is an immortal being who transcends death.

Zodd, who has been living on the battlefield for a long time, seeking the strongest enemy and finding meaning only in fighting, is worthy of being called Nosferatu.

Since its release in 2013, this work has continued to enjoy strong popularity and has received numerous requests for re-release.
In 2023, 10 years after its initial release, we will be re-releasing a brushed-up version.

Compared to the monster version, the human version of Zodd has been released very few times in our past releases,
and the sculping of "Nosferatu" is a particularly valuable work that focuses on the expression of "movement" and "fighting".
You will feel as if Zodd on the battlefield is slowly walking toward you on the snow.

We took our time to create this Zodd, paying attention to "muscle expression", “posing", and "overall balance".
The coloring has been further improved since its initial release,
and subtle changes that cannot be seen in the image photo have been made to recreate the unfathomable,
eerie fear and power of Zodd. The stained paint on the limbs,
which have been used on numerous battlefields, gives the figure a rough and rugged look.

The cracks on the sword held in his right hand caused by the battle with the Black Swordsman have also been reproduced.

Japanese art techniques were also incorporated into the modeling of this work.
The battle-hardened Zodd, with his inhuman features and unfathomable terror, is inspired by the Japanese demon, Oni.

The subtle balance of the slope between the left and right feet is inspired
by the expression of sculpture of the Kei school of Buddhist art.

This exquisite difference in height and depth expresses strength and movement in a quiet way.
We do not choose flashy poses, but rather add traditional artistic expression and our original expression to it,
assuming reality and what the character would look like if he were real.
This is one of the elements that make our statues "sculptures" and not just character figures.

The reason why our statues do not look inferior even if they are re-released in 2023 using the prototype as it was at the time of their initial release,
is because we have been pursuing high quality and beauty of sculping since that time,
and have thought through the expression that people will never get tired of.

The theme of ART OF WAR's Zodd has been "fear" since its inception.
Please try to look at Zodd when you receive this statue.
When your eyes meet the blood-red eyes, you will definately experience "fear".

Please read followings carefully before purchasing.

＋Additional blood painting by the artist

This statue is available with a blood painting option.

Although the statue looks great in its normal form and coloring, the characterization of Zodd and the world of “fear” and “battle in this work will be further enhanced by the additional blood painting.

Price: 40,000 yen

1.) The finish of the additional blood painting is entirely up to the artist.
