NCS Product Synopsis
Original Update: December 15, 2005
«©NCSX»
Kaiyodo releases Monsieur Bome Collection Vol. 8
which features a version of KOS-MOS from the
Xenosaga game. While not as beautifully sculpted and
painted as the 1/8 scale variant of KOS-MOS from
manufacturer Alta (which is also expected this
week), the Mon-sieur Bome interpretation has its
strengths. For one, KOS doesn't twist in the Bome
version and stands straight, like a wooden plank, to
allows for head-on viewing of her armor, arm
coverings, and garters. From behind, KOS' blue locks
flow in luxurious fashion. Similar to other Bome
figures, KOS-MOS is tucked inside a standard blister
pack with a mounting base for display purposes. A
pistol is included for Kos-Mos to grip.
NCS Impressions
When we originally started preorders for this particular figure,
Kaiyodo's photos made KOS appear chunky instead of
her usual svelte self. Now that we have the figure
in hand, we can confirm that KOS is still svelte
with a curvy arch that starts at the small of her
back and rides up to her laid-back shoulders. The
sculpt is beautifully chiseled with KOS' dainty
features surrounded by shocks of blue hair that
seemingly frame her face. Her helmet and body armor
are painted on like a second skin - no bleeding,
fading, or specks to ruin the illusion. Even the
micro text etched on her helmet which reads "KOS
MOS" is perfectly applied without bleed or fade
problems. KOS measures 21cm or roughly 8.25" tall.
From the back of the blister package: Interview with
BOME
There are thousands of models that I would like to make. But at the
same time, there are thousands of reasons why I
can't make them all. There are copyright issues,
salability issues, and sometimes even technical
issues preventing me from making some models; in
short, there are all sorts of setbacks. But these
setbacks give me all the more reason to think about
all the models that I want to make. KOS-MOS is one
of those models; I wanted to make her ever since I
first saw her 4 years ago, but at the time I didn't
feel like my technique could do her justice. But my
desire to make her never wavered, and finally in
2005 I decided to go ahead with production. I threw
an extra Zohar in there too - it's the base of the
model, so feel free to do with it what you like.
