Underverse Unveils Raim, a Haunting New Collaboration with Yoshitaka Amano

When Yoshitaka Amano lends his hand to a collectible figure, you expect elegance, drama, and a touch of the otherworldly. Underverse’s new collaboration, “Raim – Crow Knight,” delivers exactly that—and then some. The piece marks the debut of Beautiful Chemistry’s 1/12-scale line, and it arrives with the kind of meticulous artistry that feels unmistakably Amano.

Standing at 24 cm tall, Raim is a hauntingly noble figure—pale, melancholic, and wrapped in a mix of sculpted armor and fabric garments that echo Amano’s signature flowing linework. Every detail, from the tarnished paint finish to the wool-flocked white hair, was overseen by Amano himself. This isn’t just a figure; it’s a physical translation of his illustration style into three-dimensional form.

The Crow Knight comes equipped with 25 points of articulation, an opening eye patch, a real metal sword, interchangeable hands, and even a reproduction print—an elegant nod to the collaboration’s artistic roots. It’s the kind of release that feels destined for collectors who appreciate both craftsmanship and narrative presence.

Preorders open March 31 (China Time) / March 30 (Pacific Time), priced at $125 USD with worldwide shipping included. For fans who’ve been tracking Amano’s recent ventures into designer toys—or those who simply crave a figure that looks like it stepped out of a dream—Raim is shaping up to be one of the year’s standout releases.
