Description

Sanakan is one of the main characters from BLAME!, a manga by Tsutomu Nihei. [link]!

Sanakan (サナカン?) is a high level agent of the Safeguard who first appears as a short, young girl with black hair. She appears to have a particular interest in wiping out the human tribe of Electro-Fishers, and seems to know Killy from the past. Sanakan uses a GBE similar to Killy's (sometimes hand-held, sometimes an integral part of her body).

Sanakan has 3 forms. The first is a child form, which is used to infiltrate human settlements and later destroy them. The second one is her Safeguard form. Her third form is a humanoid woman. According to the manga, the Safeguard form of Sanakan does not hold her consciousness, but is only a remote body controlled by the main Safeguard system; Cibo uses this fact to temporarily disable Sanakan and a number of Safeguard units by hacking into their control system.

At first Sanakan is an antagonist; later in the story, she is given a new mission to protect Cibo and the Core. During one battle she is killed by the Silicon Creatures; her leader warns her that if she goes back to base reality with a Safeguard form (with her consciousness permanently installed) and she is killed again, they can't revive her again. Sanakan agrees to this condition and rescues Cibo from the Silicon Creatures, but she later gives her life to protect Killy from a First Class Exterminator Safeguard.



This is my first custom figures that takes character from manga. I really love the illustrations and character designs were created by Tsutomu Nihei, so dark and bleak. Besides that, I also love scifi themed story.

About the figures, I find difficulty in finding a suitable head and face, the results are not very manga face.
- I use Wasp from ML Modok series for the entire body, arm, leg, torso, head..
- then i sculpted to follow Sanakan body, i also add her weapon (Gravitational Beam Emitter) made by thick carton paper
- I use acrylic paint for the paint work. i use blood red for the first layer, and black for the second layer, and white for her face
- I sprayed it with clear matte spray to protect the paint.

enjoy ;)
