ARTPLA Four Heavenly Kings Shitenno Komokuten Model Kit

The final guardian deity of the Four Heavenly Kings plastic model kit is here!

Kaiyodo has produced numerous "hand-held replicas of the highest quality" by meticulously observing the real thing, capturing the unique characteristics of artworks and statues, and crafting them with precision and exquisite balance.

This fourth installment in their series of three-dimensional "Buddha statues" attempts to express their sophisticated modeling techniques in an injection-molded kit. This plastic model kit features "Komokuten," one of the Four Heavenly Kings, a Buddhist deity who protects the principal image of a temple or shrine from all sides.

He stands powerfully with a wrathful expression and a trident in his hand . As his name suggests, Komokuten is said to possess "wide-seeing eyes" and the power to see through various things. This model recreates the powerful presence of the real Komokuten, posing menacingly with his trident raised in his left hand and his right hand resting on his hip, glaring with a sharp gaze and an angry expression.

In addition to the rough-looking base, the armor's surface is meticulously crafted with subtle irregularities, and the textures of different materials, such as cloth, leather, and skin, are expressed through delicate detailing. The finished product captures the unique texture borne over time, something only a Buddhist statue can possess.

To prevent the fine details and distinctive curves of each part from being crushed by the mold forming process, the parts have been skillfully divided with an emphasis on beauty when assembled. Even the finer details, such as the ears and shoulder pads of the armor, are sculpted with high precision, faithfully reproducing the intricacy of the original form in a plastic model kit.

Furthermore, the number of parts has been kept to a minimum, allowing for a simple assembly of the Komokuten statue. This item allows you to easily enjoy the beautiful curves, meticulous craftsmanship, and presence of a war god.
