Bandai Spirits have unveiled the latest prototype in their Figure-rise Standard Amplified (FRS Amplified) series: Yu-Gi-Oh!’s legendary “Obelisk the Tormentor.” Known for amplifying character designs and maximizing model assembly impact, the FRS Amplified series takes iconic characters and turns them into stunning model kits. Obelisk the Tormentor is no exception. The release date for this highly anticipated product remains undetermined.
Obelisk the Tormentor is one of the three “Egyptian God Cards” in Yu-Gi-Oh!, alongside The Winged Dragon of Ra and Slifer the Sky Dragon. These cards are revered not only for their power but also for their significant roles in the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe. Obelisk boasts an Attack and Defense of 4000, with a special ability that allows the player to sacrifice two monsters to destroy all on the opponent’s side of the field. In the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series, these Egyptian God Cards were created by Pegasus, inspired by stone carvings from an ancient Pharaoh’s tomb. Due to their immense power, Pegasus sealed them away. Obelisk reappears during the Battle City arc, where Ishizu Ishtar gives the card to Seto Kaiba, leading to a dramatic battle for control of the Egyptian God Cards.
The new Figure-rise Standard Amplified Obelisk the Tormentor model kit is a faithful adaptation of this iconic monster. The model features its massive, muscular body and iconic wings, staying true to Obelisk’s original design. Bandai has gone further, enhancing Obelisk’s proportions to give it a more dynamic and heroic look. The body is intricately detailed with sculpted lines and textures, and the blue color scheme uses different shades and tones to create a depth that captures Obelisk’s divine might. This level of detail ensures that the model kit captures the powerful presence of Obelisk, as seen in the anime.
While no specific release date or price has been announced, this Obelisk figure promises to be a must-have for collectors and Yu-Gi-Oh! fans. The Figure-rise Standard Amplified series is known for pushing the boundaries of model kit design, making this figure stand out for its sheer size and intricate craftsmanship.
