| A trio of otherworldly demons from the Shin Megami Tensei series. |
I've had these on order for a very, very long time. Infact, since October of last year. That's such a long way away, since then I've had several new additions to my collection whilst still pining for, at the time, Black Frost to grace my collection. Since October, I have become almost indifferent to Black Frost since, and this is hard to say, I have a new favourite.
Yes... There is a single demon who trumps the Frost family.
With his vacant stare and almost "derpy" appearance, one could be forgiven for thinking that Mothman is nothing more than a demon to be cast aside or simply used as fusion fodder in the pursuit of greatness.
You are dreadfully wrong.

| Don't let his looks fool you... |
You are terribly, dreadfully wrong.
Last year I tried to do something a little different. With Persona 4 Golden sat in my PS Vita, I decided to try a different demon instead of my trusty regulars. Some might say through insanity that I chose Mothman, but you would be wrong. He chose me with that vacant expression, long spindly legs and antenna that don't match. He chose me and he is nothing short of a demon.
In all seriousness, I had to own this little beauty.
He is perfect with his long wiggly antenna and his blank and vacant expression.

| This powerful demon is born when a cute Jack Frost remembers its nature as a demon. |
Or alternatively, if you please...
"The messenger of love and justice is here! Time for some magical punishment! ★"
- Black Frost, Devil Survivor 2.
I am pleased to say, unlike my Alice and Jack Frost combo figure which I was bought for Christmas by my parents, this had no defects what so ever. My only complaint is that his "skin" is a little too glossy and reflects in photographs if you use flash... He's perfect otherwise, cute and very mischievous. Perhaps a little deadly too, who knows? To round off my near complete collection of Frosts, I now need to track down a King Frost... Maybe one day, eh? Until then, I have this little fella to keep me and my other Frost's company! Just don't go giving Raiho any ideas, Black Frost!

| He is the reincarnation of the "shadow soul" of humans, and kidnaps and eats children... |
What a pleasant guy Mokoi is turning out to be!
In a house where we typically have 5 or more children roaming around daily, he may be a little more helpful than anticipated! He could even become a deterrent, you may say. No naughty behaviour or you have to spend time with Mokoi... alone, in a dark room.
In all seriousness, I have to admit I haven't used Mokoi much when playing the various SMT/Persona title games. He never outright appealed to me but I think that next time I start up a game, most likely Persona 3 Portable, I will give this guy a chance to shine! He even has the same kind of vacant expression I found so endearing about Mothman...!
Like the other two figures in the triple pack, not a single defect visible so I am beyond pleased with my purchase and it was ultimately worth both the cost and the long wait as they feel so at home with my entire collection.
Thanks BigInJapan for the great service as usual!
