Detroit Metal City - Johannes Krauser II - Revoltech - No. 055 (Kaiyodo)Johannes Krauser II · Kaiyodo

Kaiyodo's Revoltech line No.055 features Johannes Krauser II from the comedy manga and anime series Detroit Metal City. Made of ABS and PVC, this figure was part of the popular Revoltech Yamaguchi series known for its exceptional articulation. It originally retailed for 1,995 JPY. Detroit Metal City follows the story of Soichi Negishi, a shy and gentle young man who dreams of becoming a fashionable pop musician but instead finds himself as the lead guitarist and vocalist of an extreme death metal band called Detroit Metal City. In this role, he adopts the persona of Johannes Krauser II, a demonic lord said to have risen from hell. The humor stems from the stark contrast between Negishi's timid, sensitive personality and the outrageous, violent stage persona of Krauser II, whose lyrics and antics are absurdly dark and offensive. The series satirizes both the music industry and the culture surrounding extreme metal. The figure stands approximately 5 inches tall and features the Revoltech line's signature revolver joints for a wide range of dynamic posing options, befitting a character known for wild on-stage performances.
