Bome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bomé is a Japanese sculptor, primarily sculpting anime-styled women for mass commercial release. He started making garage kits and now works for Kaiyodo, a Japanese company that specialises in anime-related figurines. Bomé's work has proved sufficiently popular and successful for Kaiyodo to release a Monsieur Bomé collection, including figures from such popular anime and video games as Full Metal Panic, Dead or Alive, Kiddy Grade, Xenosaga, and Jingai Makyo: Chaos Gate. Bomé has, amongst others, also sculpted characters from Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Sailor Moon.
Often Bomé's work, like some of the anime on which it is based, combines cute facial features with exaggerated sexual attributes such as large, gravity-defying breasts. Many figures are scantily clad and posed so that undergarments are visible. Occasionally, they may possess removable clothing which will expose knickers or bras—or even bare breasts. At least one figurine created by Bomé (Jungle Emi) was allegedly bare-breasted in its Japanese release; it included a removable bra in its worldwide release.
Collectors and toy-buyers regard Bomé's work as being of good quality due to its accurate paintwork, inclusion of fine detail, accurate representation of the character, naturalistic poses and high manufacturing standards. This opinion is reflected by the 1998 exhibition of Bomé's work as part Ero Pop Tokyo, an event, organised by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, held in Los Angeles during May to June.
