Hot Toys昨天推出的Protect Gear珍藏人偶是源於2006年推出的广播剧《ケルベロス 钢鉄の猟犬》(以下简称：钢鉄の猟犬)，
故事发生於第二次世界大战时期的德国，其後《犬狼传说》系列故事中的日本便是参照了二战德军的管治方式。
《钢鉄の猟犬》：1：6比例Protect Gear珍藏人偶是由来自日本和韩国的著名原型师一起與Hot Toys香港製作团队合力製作而成，班底相当强！
我们与Hot Toys的首席塗装师及製作总监 JC. Hong进行了访问详谈这款按照末弥纯先生於2006年为《钢鉄の猟犬》所设计的Protect Gear全新Artist系列珍藏人偶！
Q: Hot Toys为什么会参与这个artist合作计划？
JC.: 几年前，《犬狼传说》系列版权商BARQUE公司的KAZ先生来了找我问我有没有兴趣推出Protect Gear的珍藏人偶。
我和Howard都是《犬狼传说》系列的粉丝所以都十分兴奋想参与製作！
Q: Protect Gear的製作大约用了多长时间及製作过程是怎样？
JC.: 由製作开始到现在有3年的时间了！过程中我们都有很多讨论和作出了多次的修改。竹谷隆之先生及他的团队先在日本塑造原型，然後带去韩国继续製作。
因为原型一开始是雕像，所以我们需要特别用心考虑如何将它与Hot Toys的活动素体结合。
Q: 您对Protect Gear的原本设计有什么意见？
JC.: 我觉得它的设计的确很了不起，很适合製作成人偶及现实生活中的一款实用装甲！
钢鉄の猟犬》Protect Gear的原设计师末弥纯先生是中古时代骑士的粉丝，他将这种元素与二战德军装备结合来塑造了这款很帅的Protect Gear装甲。
在《犬狼传说》的故事中，日本的首都警察就是参考了德军来组成他们的Protect Gear部队。
Q: 这款Protect Gear有什么特别的地方吗？
JC.：我们使用了特别的塗装方法，在不同的灯光下有时会呈现金属色，某些情况下会呈现比较哑色的效果。
你真的需要亲身看看这款珍藏人偶的这个独特之处。
另外，人偶的地台也是另一重点。《钢鉄の猟犬》其实讲述了一班普通人被捲入战争的伤感故事。
政府强逼人民穿上装甲去执行非常危险的任务，而这班人都知道大家将会九死一生。
我很想将这种士兵的沉重心情能表现出来，而这个情景地台正正可以将战争的悲惨感觉带出来。
Q: 在製作这款珍藏人偶遇到有什么难处？
JC.: 人偶的可动性是最大的难处。举例说，当拿著武器時，肩膀上的装甲会影响了活动的幅度，
所以我们製作了两层的装甲令手部能方便移动。
Q: 您有什么话想跟粉丝们说说吗？
JC.: 这款Protect Gear是集合了来自韩国和日本的原型师及Hot Toys香港製作团队合力製作的成品！
我很希望各位会喜欢及能好好欣赏这件艺术作品！

Dear all,
Following the official introduction of the Kerberos Panzer Jäger: 1/6th scale Protect Gear Collectible Figure from the Artist Collection yesterday which over eight artists from Japan and Korea together with our Hong Kong Production Team have joined forces for this collaboration, we are pleased to talk to our Hot Toys’ Production Director & Chief Painter, Mr. JC. Hong, to share more about this incredible and special project which is based on illustrations from the Kerberos Panzer Jäger official guidebook by Mr. Jun Suemi in 2006.
Q: How did Hot Toys get involved in this project?
JC.: This goes a few years back, I was approached by Mr. KAZ from BARQUE Inc. who owned the rights of Kerberos Saga* and asked if I was interested in making a Protect Gear figure. Our Founder Howard and I were big fans of the Kerberos Saga so we were excited to participate in this project.
Q: How long was the development for this project and what was the process like?
JC.: It has started back in 2011, so it has taken 3 years since the project began to the finished prototype we have now. Over the years, we had lots of discussions and made many adjustments to the figure. Mr. Takayuki Takeya** and his team first worked on the prototype, and then it was brought to Korea for more work. Because the prototype was a statue in the beginning, we needed to think hard on how we can fit it well with Hot Toys’ articulated figure body.
Q: How do you feel about the original design of the Protect Gear?
JC.: The design is quite amazing! Mr. Jun Suemi***, the original designer for the Kerberos Panzer Jäger Protect Gear, was a fan of medieval knight armor and he incorporated those elements into World War II German military gear which transformed into the Protect Gear you see now. Within the plot of the Kerberos Saga, this is the original design that has “inspired” the Tokyo police force to make their own Protect Gear team. I think the design itself would make an excellent action figure and also be a quite functional armor in real life.
Q: What are some of the special elements about this Protect Gear figure?
JC.: The painting technique that has been applied is quite unique. Under different lighting, you will sometimes see a more metallic look while other times see a more matte look. You will really need to see this figure in person to truly admire its beauty.
Also, the figure base is another highlight for this project. The plot of Kerberos Panzer Jäger is really a human story about how war is terrible. The government forces its people into war by dressing them up in gears, sending them to dangerous missions, and many will die fighting for their country. I want that heavy feeling of a soldier to be reflected in this figure and the diorama base really helps set that tragic of war tone and story.
Q: What are the challenges for creating this figure?
JC.: The articulations and movements were some of the biggest challenges. For example, when holding weapons, the shoulder armor’s movement may be hindered, so we created 2 layers of armor on the Protect Gear to make it easier to move the arms.
Q: Do you have other messages that you would like to say to the fans?
JC.: This Protect Gear has incorporated the many great efforts from a number of artists from Japan and Korea as well as the Hot Toys Hong Kong Production team! I hope many fans will be able to enjoy and appreciate this wonderful artistic figure!
