threezeroX is
the high-end line from threezero which invites different renown artists from
around the world to redesign action figures according to their own unique
styles. With more than five years in designing, sculpting and development,
threezero proudly presents the second release of this acclaimed line:
threezeroX Takayuki Takeya Ideon!
The design
and the original sculpt of the threezeroX Ideon was made by the famous Japanese
figure sculptor, Takayuki Takeya. Based on the 1980's classic anime Space
Runaway Ideon directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino who is the creator of Mobile
Suit Gundam, Takeya has redesigned the protagonist's robot emphasizing the
concept of the robot that it is an ancient relic of the mysterious "6th
Civilization," which is a long-time extinct extraterrestrial being. To
emphasize that Ideon is a created by a technology far different from that of
humans, Takeya has added delicate geometric patterns on the surface, which is
alien to human eyes and creates an ambiguity on whether it has any functional
meaning or is only decoration. As for the whole form, while keeping the
distinctive elements of the original anime version Ideon, Takeya has
exaggerated it to look more like a creation of an alien culture. Even with
these highly creative redesigns, once the iconic red and white colors are
applied, threezeroX Takayuki Takeya Ideon is instantly recognizable as the
classic anime robot Ideon.

Takayuki Takeya Ideon collectible figure stands approximately 46cm (18”) tall
to the shoulders or approximately 42cm tall (16.5”) to the top of the head, and
is fully-articulated with over 125 points of articulation including the
individual fingers. A unique internal die-cast metal frame is utilized to give
this large-sized figure a stable and firm range of movement. LED light-up
features are installed at over 5 areas of the figure including the eyes, Ideon
Gauges, and Ideon Sword emission holes at the wrists. Detailed paint treatments
have been applied to replicate the original painted model made by Takeya. It

the aesthetic of the figure.
