Time to pre-order another figure!We first found out about the Ultimate Image Omegamon Merciful Mode from Digimon Adventure tri. awhile ago, but with no information about what line it would be in. We only got more details about a week or so ago , and a reveal that pre-orders would be now a couple days ago , so getting a bunch of info and images all at once, with pre-orders is a nice thing.Ultimate Image is the newest expansion of Capsule Mascot Collection, under the new branding of Art Figurations.The first figure in the Ultimate Image line, being shown off properly for the first time today as pre-orders open is Omegamon Merciful Mode from Digimon Adventure tri.Based on the official Merciful Mode illustration by Kenji Watanabe, the figure also has illustration and model supervision by Watanabe.In addition, the model direction is by As'maria.Merciful Mode's mighty power is reproduced by giving it a giant height of roughly 12.9 inches. (Agumon isn't included, he is included for scale.)Pearl coloring and metallic paint is used throughout the body to give it a sophisticated look that almost glows.The blue light emitting lines are also clear which causes light to make them glow, while the metallic surfaces enhance the coloring.The essence and look of the wings are reproduced with clear parts and a careful paint gradient.Early purchase bonus!You get the official profile art of Omegamon Merciful Mode by Kenji Watanabe, on an A4 size art board (8.27 × 11.69 inches.)A duplicate of Kenji Watanabe's signature is on the board, and a stand is also included.They plan to have an interview with Kenji Watanabe about this figure in the future on Gashapon Blog And we finish with a small gallery that shows aspects of the figure in more detail...The Ultimate Image figure of Omegamon Merciful Mode will is up pre-order at Premium Bandai .
