Revoltech #57 Camus



If you were to describe Terumichi Nishida. He would be the epitome of an otaku. He is short, overweight, wears a pair of geeky glasses, anime-obssessed, anti-social, etcetera. He looks a little disturbingly like someone i always meet each morning. =P But I can never compare myself with Nishida because I do not even know how to hold a drum stick.


He does not talk much but he knows how to express himself. Look at that charming smirk...


Little is known about this mysterious character besides the fact that he likes curries and he is exceptionally good with the taiko. He is a man of few words but he is not afraid to express himself. He might look like an emotional misfit but he has the capacity to express himself through action way better than you or me...


Honestly... I have no idea...



This is one of the few figure which is dedicated to Camus. This revoltech release came with the usual extra pair of hands, a pair of drumstick, a pair of... snake?!?, a speech bubble and the DMC sign. It also comes with a sheet of 'emotion' sticker.



Once Nishida dons his costume and makeup he transformed himself into Camus, Detroit Metal City's demonic drummer. This is a very simple but yet accurate figure of the character. Love it!!!


The word on the speech bubble is "giiiii". Usually used to express displeasure. Someone is going to get it!!! Run!!!



Looks can be deceiving. He is a taiko master and a great drummer.




There is a long story behind the snakes which came with the figure. To put it short, those are actually Jack Il Dark's pet snakes. Camus was not intimidated by the snakes but instead used them as drumsticks during Il Dark's final showdown. Now! That is what I call dedication!


My only complain about this figure is... where the heck is the drum set!!! Kaiyodo should be 'satsugaied' because of this atrocity!!! This Camus revoltech is incomplete without a drum set!!!

It has been a while since I watch something as funny and hilarious like Detroit Metal City. The drawing might not be as stylish as most of the present anime but there are a lot of depths in each and every character in the show. So until then, "Go To DMC"!!!
