Michelangelo’s marble interpretation of David is without a doubt one of the most iconic statues in history. I’m sure every one of you out there is familiar with that stony gaze and perfectly-chiseled, rock-hard body as David stands poised and ready to face the giant Goliath.
But after centuries of standing and waiting to fight, David is now ready to strike a few new poses, with your help, as he makes an appearance as your very own personable, posable action figure!
This David figure is the third in a line of figures from Figma featuring posable versions of world-renowned statues, including The Thinker and Venus de Milo. Unlike other typical replicas of these timeless pieces, you can customize them with interchangeable parts, props, and joints that allow for a whole new range of movements.
▼ Studly David in all his glory, as you probably know him best
▼ With a stern look and sling over his shoulder, he’s ready to make his move
But with this figure, you are not stuck with the same position that everyone else with a David figure has. This special David is made with smooth plastic and movable joints, allowing for a whole range of possibilities.
▼ Stern David approves of this upgrade
Michelangelo’s David was sculpted to depict him before his fight with Goliath, but with the additional props and interchangeable parts, you can poise him mid-swing and ready to fight!
And, most amazingly (or creepily), even his eyes are movable, so he can glare at giants from any direction!
▼ Ol’ Shifty-Eyed Dave was never the same after what he went through…
▼ You’ve got the bod, now work it like you mean it!
Even those who aren’t artists can enjoy making masterpieces of their own with the help of these classics. You can preorder your very own hunky David action figure here from Play Asia for US$42.99, and The Thinker and Venus de Milo are available here.
