What an awesome set! Huke, the creator of Black Rock Shooter released his art book in 2012; this special set includes the 200+ page coffee table book in full color with works pertaining to Black Rock Shooter, Steins Gate and other pieces. Also included is the Black Rock Shooter “Beast” Figma action figure.

The set comes packaged in a really cool brown cardboard box that has the same markings as an electronic appliance with the typeface “BLK” featured in bold.

The reverse of the box has a product description of the included Figma action figure.

Inside the brown box is the art book with a great image of Black Rock Shooter on the dust jacket. The Figma is packaged in the black “BRSB” box to the right.

Removing the Figma reveals the clear shell that features all the parts included, an instruction page and a great card with BRSB artwork.

Black Rock Shooter “Beast” has many ways to be accessorized; however the awesome blue, translucent crown is a must. The crown is attached to a hole in the head from the ponytail or what appears to somewhat be a cowlick. Pressing the peg in is a little difficult because the last thing anyone wants to do is break it. Careful pressing will finally get it in and she is ready to go! The major pieces included are her weapons of the large “Six-Shot” handgun and the huge “BRS Blade” sword. The weapons fit in specific hands with very detailed grips.

The back of BLK continues on the details including fully articulated twin tails—her pig tails, a tattoo of the same art from the brown box and a pair of moving blue, translucent blades on the back of her legs.

The reverse of the “BRS Blade” has a ton of print including its “UL Listing” and warnings to stay clear and not to step, ect…hence the warnings on the brown box—the BRS Blade is a dangerous electronic device—I really think its pretty cool that the sword is presented in this fashion. Click the photo to enlarge for the detail of what is printed on the blade.

The overall detail of the BRS “Beast” figma is amazing and far outweighs mostly all of the other fully articulated figures in the line (even if this is my opinion…I’d say its true)! Black Rock Shooter “Beast” includes an extra bangs piece with her flaming eye, a face with her eyes closed and many hands, each fully detailed.

Here is the group including Dead Master, Black Rock Shooter, White Rock Shooter and BRS “Beast” with some packaged doubles and Mato in the background.

The Huke art book has over 200 pages and is something that I find I want to “baby” because its just…well, a work of art. So, excuse my photos, but at the same time, enjoy the art.

There is very little that is in English in the book, but I have a decent idea of what I’m looking at. First we have just as well an advertisement of the BRS “Beast” Figma. I like the pose so I’m thinking of trying to copy it for the display of the figure. We’ll see…check below!

Next we have a selection of Black Rock Shooter images.

Here are Black Rock Shooter, Black Gold Saw, Strength and Dead Master. The names are cool and in the Anime and Manga, these characters are awesome!

This is “Insane” Black Rock Shooter! In the Anime series, she is what becomes of BRS when Mato becomes a part of her, there is also a Figma of her and she comes with the DVD set from Japan—for a lot of money…too much for me to handle!

The main characters from Steins Gate, which is a pretty weird Anime about time travel, going on chicken benders with chicken tenders…it’s quite good, but the end of season 1 leaves the viewer empty–Hulu has it to find out what I mean; doo, doo, doo!  From left to right are Okabe, Mayuri, Hashida, and Kurisu.

Here are another few pictures, the art is great—makes me want to wake up every morning as Huke, just so I can create such masterpieces.

The final picture I just found cool, it’s from the “other” section of the book. That is one pissed off cat!

Here it is…in reverse, no flaming eye and her eyes are open, not too bad!

The Huke art book and Black Rock Shooter “Beast” Figma are quickly becoming my favorite possessions—so to say, the quality is top notch and I get the best of both worlds with some great artwork and another awesome Figma. Highly recommended!

GRADE: Perfect! (That’s right, PERFECT)!
