Seeing as how I won’t be opening my boxes any time soon, I decided to search for images of the figures that I own so that people who ask or happen to stumble upon this page can see what I’ve been occupying my time with. To make this easier, I will be doing this according to manufacturer and will be updating a separate page with the pictures later on with a “Recently Acquired” tag to denote that the figure is new to the collection.
Manufacturer: ALTER
Name: Aegis/Aigis
Scale: 1/8
Sculptor: Saito Fumiki
Series: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
Release Date: Oct. ’07
MSRP: ¥5800
Aigis, an android created by the Kirijo group, is first introduced in the series when the protagonist and the gang go to the Kirijo facility to meet up with Mitsuru’s father. After a series of amusing events that include “Operation Babe Hunt”, Aigis joins the SEES group under the instruction of Ikutsuki and enrolls in Gekkoukan High School.
Aigis plays a pivotal role not only to further the storyline and main character’s story arc, but she is a competent teammate on the battlefield as well. With an arrangement of high-tech weaponry, machine guns, rocket launchers, “rocket punches” and a persona whose specialty is physical attacks (Palladion and Athena of the Chariot arcana), Aigis is a must have in a party looking to deal out heavy damage to a tougher Shadow.
As the story progresses, a series of repressed events surface to reveal a common link between Aigis and the protagonist which may prove to be humanity’s only hope in defeating the Dark Hour and preventing the Harbinger of Death.
Without leading to spoilers of any kind, Aegis replaces the protagonist and becomes the heroine for Persona 3: FES with announcements of a future (not yet determined) cell phone game.
