I am so head over heels in love with FuRyu’s Shin Megami Tensei prize line it’s not even funny.

So FuRyu has been a godsend in this department, bringing us everything from the painfully cute to the totally weird–and Satan is probably the crown jewel of this line (so far, at least!).

They are currently the only company making the monster designs from the Shin Megami Tensei series (not counting the main character Personas), though back in the day Kotobukiya had a line of minifigures revolving around them. Hint hint… get back to that, Koto!</p> <p>Anyway, as we know FuRyu’s <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/furyus-new-shin-megami-tensei-prize-figure-is-satan" target="_blank">latest offering</a> in this series is the awesome Satan, one of my favorite monsters in the game. We only saw him unpainted, but now we’re getting a look at what will arrive on our doorsteps in a few months! He looks great, and I really do think these are some of the highest-quality prize figures around. Good job, FuRyu!</p> <p>[via <a href="http://hobby.dengeki.com/20130219/3451-news/" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://hobby.dengeki.com']);" target="_blank">Dengeki</a>]</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/SatanPaintedHeader.jpg "FuRyu’s Shin Megami Tensei Satan Is Painted")
