Description

[Machine Translation] The latest in the series of Takeya-style figurines is a typical 15th-century Gothic field armor. The design elements have been reinterpreted and redesigned by Takayuki Takeya, who is in charge of the sculpting, and then fused and sublimated with Revoltech, KAIYODO's unique action figure system. The style that combines beauty of design while increasing the strength is expressed in fine detail. The Kusazuri, which protects the elbows, toes and thighs, is also sculpted in the sharp-edged shape that is characteristic of the Gothic style. The belt and chainmail (chainmail) worn inside are also detailed to show how the Gothic-style field armor was put on and taken off, giving the figure a massive appearance and a sense of reality. The helmet, another characteristic of the figure, is shaped in accordance with the armor of the time. The rounded helmet shape and the series of articulated plates extending backward to protect the back of the head and neck are typical of the Gothic style. The visor-type armor, which is raised for visual confirmation and lowered for protection during battle, is movable. The field armor itself was quite heavy, and to reduce its weight, it was not equipped with a shield, but with heavy weapons that could inflict damage on the enemy over the armor. The set includes a two-handed sword, a mace, and a standard sword. Hand parts are also included to change the armament. Shoulder pads and grass slides are made of soft material so that they do not interfere with posing. The shoulder supports are designed so that they do not interfere with the two-handed sword even when it is held in a large stance, allowing for dynamic poses with the sword and mace without compromising the image of its stately appearance. At the time, the polished silver and the clothes worn inside were also painted in a silver version. [Gothic-style field armor is a type of Western armor that evolved on the battlefields of Europe in ancient times as a military uniform used by knights to protect themselves. After the Middle Ages, when knights were at the center of battles, new weapons such as guns were introduced to the battlefield, and by the late Middle Ages (15th century), the value of knights' armor had greatly decreased in terms of their fighting ability. At the end of the age of knights, Western armor called "plate armor" appeared, which covered the whole body with metal plates. At that time, plate armor was classified into two types: one for combat and the other for cavalry competitions, with the combat armor being called "field armor. Most field armor was a one-off model ordered by the user from a craftsman. Among them, the German Gothic models, which were widely produced, were characterized by their piercing appearance and were made in various shapes according to the requests of the knights who used them. The Gothic plate armor is the final evolution of Western armor, and is known around the world as "the most famous form of Western armor" because it combines beauty and functionality.

KT-021 タケヤ式自在置物 15世紀ゴチック式フィールドアーマー シルバー

タケヤ式自在置物の最新作は、15世紀に作られた代表的なゴチック式フィールドアーマー。そのデザイン要素を、造形総指揮を担当する竹谷隆之が再解釈、リデザインし、海洋堂が誇る独自のアクションフィギュアシステム=リボルテックと融合、昇華させました。15世紀ゴチック式フィールドアーマーの特徴である、波形に盛り上がった装甲表現の模様、花を模した腋当などの強度を高めつつもデザイン的な美しさを併せ持つスタイルを緻密なディテールにて表現。肘や爪先、大腿部を保護する装甲である草摺(くさずり)も、ゴチック式の特徴である鋭角的な形状にこだわって立体化。ゴチック式フィールドアーマーがどのように着脱されていたのかが理解できるベルトや内側に着込まれたチェーンメイル(鎖帷子)などもディテールされており、重厚な外観かつリアリティのある表現となっています。もうひとつの特徴である兜は、当時の甲冑の考証に準じた形状で造型。丸みをおびたヘルメット型の形状、後頭部や頸を保護するために後方に伸びた錏(しころ)など、ゴチック式らしい形状で造型。また、目視確認時には上げ、戦闘時には防御のために下げるバイザー型装甲は可動式。フィールドアーマーは、それ自体が相当な重さであり、重量軽減のために盾は装備せず、武器は、敵に対し甲冑の上からダメージを与えることができる重量のある武器を使用していました。それら時代性や運用に則した、両手剣、メイス、そして一般的な剣の3種類をセット。武装を持ち替えるためのハンドパーツも付属しています。肩当や草摺はポージングの妨げにならないよう、軟質素材を使用。肩当部分は、両手剣を大きく構えても干渉しない構造となっており、重厚な外観のイメージそのままに、剣やメイスを振るう躍動的なポージングも可能。当時の、磨き上げられたシルバーと内部に着込んだ服なども塗り分けられたシルバーバージョン。[ゴチック式フィールドアーマーとは]いにしえのヨーロッパの戦場において、騎士たちの身を守るための軍装として進化していった西洋甲冑。彼らが戦いの中心であった中世が過ぎ、鉄砲という新しい武器が戦場に採り入れられた結果、中世後期(15世紀)には騎士の戦力的な価値は大きく下がっていました。そんな騎士の時代の末期に登場したのが、金属板で全身を覆うプレートアーマーと呼ばれる西洋甲冑です。当時のプレートアーマーは、戦闘用と騎馬試合用などに分類され、戦闘用は「フィールドアーマー」と呼ばれていました。フィールドアーマーは、使用者によって職人に発注されるワンオフモデルがほとんど。その中で生産が盛んであったドイツのゴチック式モデルは、刺々しい外観の様式が特徴であり、使用する騎士の依頼でさまざまな形状のものが作られました。西洋甲冑の最終進化形とも言えるプレートアーマーの中でも、美しさと機能性を併せ持ち、「西洋甲冑と言えばこの形」と言われるほどの存在として世界に知られています。[原型制作]高木健一、辛島俊一[制作総指揮]竹谷隆之、山口隆[可動部位]全15箇所[ジョイント使用数]14個(4mm×2、6mm×5、8mm×5、10mm×2)[セット内容]フィギュア本体 / ディスプレイベース / オプションハンド×2 / メイス / 小剣 / 大剣
