Aion Online is a massive multiplayer online role-playing game released in 2008. I don't play games myself, but I was taken by the character design and this figure proved too tempting to resist. The game takes place in the world of Atreia which is structured as two concave hemispheres connected by a tower. The outside of the planet is lifeless, but the hollow halves contain warring classes and creatures (many of which seem angel-like). (I'm a mythology nerd and I know the Greek deity Aion represents an orb that encompasses the Universe... very cool play on theme here). This unarticulated figure was an exclusive that came with the 2009 Limited Collector's Edition Box of the game. Aiva is a female winged Asmodian Daeva. I don't know what that means but it sounds cool. She is heavily detailed and could pass for a McFarlane figure easily. There is a seller on ebay selling her in mass quantities very cheap. I'm assuming the seller has some kind of connection to NCsoft. Go buy her!
Aiva's Wings and Axe are removable.
Here are some shots of her with her parts detached.
And Suited up again...
Here is a blurb from the press release for the box set:
"The centrepiece of the limited edition is a 6 ½-inch (16,5 cm) hand-painted figurine of the powerful Aiva, a female winged Asmodian Daeva. Aiva sports detachable wings and wields a removable axe. The Limited Collector's Edition features several exclusive in-game items, including the Black Cloud Wings, which greatly enhances a character's flight time, the Black Cloud Earring, which helpfully boosts health and mana while playing, and an exclusive title that will likewise enhance a character's abilities."
Time for a Comparison Shot!
Cheers!
