A worldwide hit in the early 2000’s the monumental transforming figure series, “Digivolving Figures” achieved “evolution” through physical transformation. This concept is pursued this time to the highest level. The pre-evolution “cuteness” and post-evolution “coolness” as well overall proportions are replicated using the newest sculpting technology. The finish of the final product is also given special consideration, using die-cast and chrome finish on some parts.

Striving to be the ultimate Digimon transforming figure series for collectors, this is “Digivolving Spirits”. Click to expand...

The basic concept of the “Digivolving Spirits” series is to achieve designs that weren’t possible with the technology of the earlier “Digivolving series”.

The first release, WarGreymon, follows in the footsteps of the basic transformation from the “Digivolving series”.

But improvements to the joint system and the overall balance have resulted in a true Digivolution of the figure’s proportions. The result is a transforming figure that’s nostalgic and fresh at the same time. Click to expand...

We thoroughly investigated the design to determine the appropriate colors for WarGreymon.

Not only is it painted down to the tiniest detail, but the yellow-to-orange change when it Digivolves is perfectly captured as well, without needing to swap parts. Click to expand...

The “Digivolving Spirits” use the best materials for demanding collectors. The body parts are molded in color, and in addition to accurate coloring, they’ve been texture processed for a tactile feel as well.

For WarGreymon, the silver colored chest, waist and arms, said to be made of “Chrondigizoit,” are molded in die-cast metal for a true metallic feel.

And the Dramon Killer weapons in its hands are finished in chrome plating, for a luxurious feel overall. Click to expand...

The sharp-looking sculpt represents a culmination of the Collectors Division’s years of creative and technical know-how. It’s designed to be suitable for discerning grown-up collectors.

When you compare the old and new products, you can see just how far the proportions in particular have evolved. We think you’ll agree that the transformed WarGreymon looks every bit as good as a non-transforming figure design. Also, the range of motion in the neck is amazingly improved. Click to expand...

The “Digivolving Spirits” series was developed with a multi-generational team including Digimon’s original creator Kenji Watanabe and younger staff who were still children when the original “Digivolving series” came out.

Under Watanabe’s strict supervision, the resulting figures represent ideal visual portrayals of his characters. While taking their lead from the anime, they incorporate playful American comic-style touches, never compromising on the detail that makes a three-dimensional portrayal great.

As for WarGreymon, Watanabe is particularly proud of the facial designs.

In addition to the first release of WarGreymon, work is proceeding with the second in the series, Metal Garurumon. Other Digimon not released in the earlier series are under consideration too, so stay tuned for new developments in the Digivolving Spirits series! Click to expand...

I’m filled with deep emotion to know that Digimon has been loved for such a long time and to see this new product series, the “Digivolving Spirits” coming out. It’s a nice surprise for me to be able to comment like this even 18 years after the first season of Digimon. I know everyone is excited about this new figure series, but I bet I’m the most excited.

“Digivolving Series”, which was the memorable first transforming figures produced by Wiz Co.,Ltd., has been revived!

I’m really happy that this time we are able to fully commit to excellence and include all the details that were not in the previous series as they were made for children. Both of Agumon and WarGreymon’s proportions are so cool! I hope you like them! Click to expand...

As part of the goal to have a lineup starring all 8 partner Digimon, Agumon, Taichi Yagami's partner Digimon from Digimon Adventure, makes an appearance. It warp evolves into Wargreymon, by undergoing a complete transformation without the need to add or replace parts.

You can take a closer look at how this figure differs from the old Super-evolution [Choushinka] series toy, in places such as the body colors. Click to expand...

This figure will be made generally available and will not be an exclusive product.It will cost 7,020 yen and ship in November.On top of that, they've given us a TON of details on the very concept and thoughts of this new toyline.

The cost of the set will be 19,440 yen.This is almost certainly the special set that was previously mentioned in reference to the updated 15th Anniversary "WarGreymon Color" Digivice With all of these new details it really appears that Digivolving Spirits is an attempt to make a great looking line of transforming figures with quality as a priority.
