Immerse yourself in the vibrant universe of Kid Icarus, where nostalgia meets artistry with the Figma Pit and Figma Dark Pit action figures! These stunning collectibles from Good Smile Company are not just toys; they are a celebration of Nintendo’s rich legacy. Each figure captures the essence of these iconic characters from Kid Icarus: Uprising, boasting exceptional articulation and intricate details that will thrill any fan. With an array of accessories, including Palutena’s Bow and unique expressions, these Figma figures invite you to recreate epic battles and showcase your love for Nintendo’s fantastical world.
The Figma Pit and Figma Dark Pit figures are considered some of the best Kid Icarus figures on the market for several reasons, including their exceptional quality, faithful representation of the characters, top-tier articulation, and the attention to detail that Figma is known for.
Both figures are designed with a focus on accuracy to their video game appearance, with sharp attention to detail:
• Pit: The sculpt of Pit’s armor and attire is a faithful recreation of his appearance in Kid Icarus: Uprising and Super Smash Bros., with fine details like his feathered hair and gilded armor. The helmet design is clean, and the overall proportions of the body fit well with his youthful and athletic design. The wing design is light and intricately molded to give the figure an angelic, divine feel.
• Dark Pit: Dark Pit shares similar design elements with Pit but with a darker, more angular look that reflects his contrasting character. His wings are styled differently, with a more sharp, dark aesthetic compared to Pit’s softer, lighter wings. His attire and armor are also slightly darker in tone, matching his more brooding personality. The wing design for Dark Pit is more jagged and intense, emphasizing the difference between the two.
The paint applications further differentiate the two figures and help reflect their respective character arcs and personalities:
• Pit:
• The base color of Pit is a bright, angelic white, accented by gold and light blue on his armor. These light, vibrant colors reinforce his purity and heroic nature.
• His wings are a soft gradient, transitioning from white to light blue, emphasizing the ethereal, divine look.
• The faceplates for Pit have a friendly, cheerful expression, further cementing his role as a protagonist.
• Dark Pit:
• Dark Pit’s color scheme is much darker and more muted, with black, gray, and silver being the dominant colors. This provides him with a more serious and intimidating look, contrasting Pit’s light-hearted design.
• The wings are completely black, with a metallic sheen that highlights their angular, spiked design.
• Dark Pit’s faceplates feature more serious and aggressive expressions, reflecting his more independent and rebellious nature compared to Pit’s optimistic personality.
One of the highlights of Figma figures is the sheer number of accessories they come with, and both the Pit and Dark Pit figures are no exception.
Pit’s Palutena Bow is beautifully crafted, with realistic string detailing and the elegant design that reflects his character’s connection to the goddess Palutena. He also comes with a small shield.
Dark Pit’s Dark Pit Staff is similarly well-detailed, featuring sharp, angular lines that match his darker persona. Both weapons complement the figures, giving each a unique identity while maintaining the connection to the games.
Faceplates: Each figure includes multiple faceplates with different expressions—Pit comes with a cheerful, neutral, and battle-ready face, while Dark Pit features more intense, stoic, and battle-faced expressions.
Interchangeable Hands: Both figures come with gripping hands, fists, and open hands, making it easy to pose them in a variety of dynamic ways, whether they are wielding their weapons or striking a heroic (or anti-heroic) pose. The hands swap easily without feeling fragile, and a storage bag for small parts is included — a thoughtful addition given the number of accessories.
The included display stands with adjustable arms are perfect for mid-flight poses, allowing fans to recreate the acrobatic aerial combat that Pit and Dark Pit are known for. This feature makes these figures far more interactive and dynamic than other more static collectibles.
Additional Details Not Yet Covered
In this section, we’ll briefly delve into further insights and specifications regarding the Figma Pit and Figma Dark Pit action figures.
Pit
The package arrives complete with everything needed for dynamic display. Three distinct face plates capture Pit’s personality perfectly, from his signature smile to intense combat expressions. His iconic Palutena Bow, which cleverly splits into dual blades, features metallic gold accents and fits securely in his hands. The included clear stand enables both ground poses and soaring aerial displays.
The default face plate offers his characteristic scowl, while alternates include a battle cry and a rare smirk that fans will recognize from key game moments. The red eyes are particularly striking, painted with a subtle metallic sheen that catches light in an almost lifelike manner.
The figure’s neutral color scheme allows it to integrate seamlessly into varied collections while maintaining enough visual interest to stand as a centerpiece. Minor quibbles include some delicate details on the laurel crown and a somewhat obvious stand connection point, but these hardly detract from an otherwise exceptional release.
The one-eyed monster that comes with the Figma Pit (regular version) figure is known as a “Cyclops” within the Kid Icarus universe, a type of recurring enemy that Pit encounters throughout the Kid Icarus: Uprising game. This particular character is a notable, albeit somewhat comical, enemy within the game’s expansive roster of foes. It’s a humorous nod to those moments in the game where things can get a bit absurd, giving Pit’s action figure an extra layer of personality.
The Cyclops enemy plays a role in several levels of Uprising, so including the figure in the set connects directly to the story and gameplay. It’s a small touch that showcases Figma’s commitment to authenticity and making sure that every accessory has a clear relationship to the source material, even if it’s something as quirky as a one-eyed monster.
Dark Pit
Dark Pit, the shadowy doppelganger of Kid Icarus’s protagonist, has landed on collectors’ shelves, and he’s bringing all the brooding intensity fans could hope for. This noir-tinged take on Nintendo’s angel warrior proves that sometimes, the dark side really does have more style. At first glance, the Dark Pit Figma might seem like a simple palette swap of its lighter counterpart. However, this figure is a masterclass in how subtle variations can create an entirely different presence. The core sculpt mirrors the recently released Pit figure, but the execution here tells a completely different story.
What truly sets this release apart is its presence. Standing at the same 5.5 inches as its counterpart, Dark Pit somehow manages to look more imposing. Perhaps it’s the slightly more aggressive default stance, or the way the black finish catches shadows, but there’s an undeniable gravitas to this figure that perfectly captures the character’s anti-hero status.
Good Smile Company has outdone themselves with the color work. Dark Pit’s armor features subtle purple undertones that only become apparent under certain lighting, creating an almost iridescent effect that perfectly captures the character’s mysterious nature. The metallic accents, rendered in gunmetal rather than gold, provide a perfect contrast to the deeper blacks.
Articulation remains identical to the standard Pit release, which is absolutely a good thing. The engineering allows for a full range of dynamic poses while maintaining stability. The joints are tight enough to hold even the most dramatic aerial stances, yet smooth enough for easy adjustment.
Accessories include Dark Pit’s signature Silver Bow, which, like the original Pit figure’s weapon, can be split into dual blades. The weapon features a gorgeous gunmetal finish with translucent purple energy effects that complement the figure’s overall color scheme.
While there may be other Kid Icarus figures out there, none capture the essence of these two characters as faithfully, interactively, and visually appealing as the Figma releases do. The Figma Pit and Figma Dark Pit figures are unparalleled in terms of detail, articulation, accessories, and accuracy to their source material. They offer a combination of high-quality craftsmanship and interactive features that make them not only the best Kid Icarus figures but some of the best in the Figma line overall. For collectors who want the most faithful, poseable, and highly detailed versions of these beloved characters, these figures are an absolute must-have.
