Following the official introduction of the Kerberos Panzer Jäger: 1/6th scale
Protect Gear Collectible Figure from the Artist Collection yesterday which
over eight artists from Japan and Korea together with our Hong Kong
Production Team have joined forces for this collaboration, we are pleased
to talk to our Hot Toys’ Production Director & Chief Painter, Mr. JC. Hong,
to share more about this incredible and special project which is based on
illustrations from the Kerberos Panzer Jäger official guidebook by Mr. Jun
Suemi in 2006.

Q: How did Hot Toys get involved in this project?

JC.: This goes a few years back, I was approached by Mr. KAZ from
BARQUE Inc. who owned the rights of Kerberos Saga* and asked if I was
interested in making a Protect Gear figure. Our Founder Howard and I were
big fans of the Kerberos Saga so we were excited to participate in this
project.

Q: How long was the development for this project and what was the
process like?

JC.: It has started back in 2011, so it has taken 3 years since the project
began to the finished prototype we have now. Over the years, we had lots
of discussions and made many adjustments to the figure. Mr. Takayuki
Takeya** and his team first worked on the prototype, and then it was
brought to Korea for more work. Because the prototype was a statue in the
beginning, we needed to think hard on how we can fit it well with Hot Toys’
articulated figure body.

Q: How do you feel about the original design of the Protect Gear?

JC.: The design is quite amazing! Mr. Jun Suemi***, the original designer
for the Kerberos Panzer Jäger Protect Gear, was a fan of medieval knight
armor and he incorporated those elements into World War II German military
gear which transformed into the Protect Gear you see now. Within the plot
of the Kerberos Saga, this is the original design that has “inspired” the
Tokyo police force to make their own Protect Gear team. I think the design
itself would make an excellent action figure and also be a quite functional
armor in real life.

Q: What are some of the special elements about this Protect Gear figure?

JC.: The painting technique that has been applied is quite unique. Under
different lighting, you will sometimes see a more metallic look while other
times see a more matte look. You will really need to see this figure in
person to truly admire its beauty.

Also, the figure base is another highlight for this project. The plot of
Kerberos Panzer Jäger is really a human story about how war is terrible. The
government forces its people into war by dressing them up in gears,
sending them to dangerous missions, and many will die fighting for their
country. I want that heavy feeling of a soldier to be reflected in this figure
and the diorama base really helps set that tragic of war tone and story.

Q: What are the challenges for creating this figure?

JC.: The articulations and movements were some of the biggest challenges.
For example, when holding weapons, the shoulder armor’s movement may
be hindered, so we created 2 layers of armor on the Protect Gear to make
it easier to move the arms.

Q: Do you have other messages that you would like to say to the fans?

JC.: This Protect Gear has incorporated the many great efforts from a
number of artists from Japan and Korea as well as the Hot Toys Hong Kong
Production team! I hope many fans will be able to enjoy and appreciate this
wonderful artistic figure!
