“Seven Deadly Sins”
The “Seven Deadly Sins” collection by Geek Toys is made up of two series of figures inspired in the Cardinal Sins. The first batch, which launch date has been announced for Christmas, will be inaugurated with the representation of Envy. This consists of a figure with an unhealthy urge to obtain something someone else owns through the image of Cain, the son of Adam and Eve, after he killed Abel. This warrior appears menacingly showing the decapitated head of his younger brother, with no sign of remorse.
The figure about original sin of Pride, the one committed by Lucifer when he wanted to be like God, is presented as a beauty queen whose attractiveness has made her withdraw into herself and look down on others. This imperfection is revealed in the destruction of her adored mirror and of her own eyes.
Geek Toys has personified Wrath as “disturbing apetite for vengeance”, this figure has attracted the attention of the enthusiast and professional sector. This sin pushes people to commit violent and uncomprehensive acts, but when these acts are carried out by a sweet young girl blinded by a killing urge to murder a fellow girl with a thick fairy tale book, the scene becomes even more surrealist.
Series 2 will feature figures dedicated to Sloth, Avarice and Lust.
The collection will be completed with Greed, a figure of major size which will be presented in a deluxe box and sold separately.
Joining the bases of the seven different figures, collectors will be able to make up a spectacular diorama called “The Ultimate sin”.
