This Revoltech figure faithfully captures the larger-than-life presence of Johannes Krauser II from Detroit Metal City. The head sculpt conveys his cold, calculating gaze behind sleek sunglasses, with meticulously styled hair and a chiseled jaw that hints at his on-stage bravado. The body uses Kaiyodo’s signature joint system to allow dynamic, action-ready poses, while the outfit mirrors Krauser II’s dramatic stage persona: a dark, tailored coat with high collar, layered fabrics, and metallic accents that reflect stage lights. Subtle paintwork highlights texture on the coat, gloves, and accessories, and the piece includes interchangeable hands and a microphone accessory to recreate his aggressive, theatrical performances. The overall silhouette is bold and imposing, ideal for display on a metal-head shelf.

Johannes Krauser II is the alter ego of the reluctant graphic designer who leads the splinter band Detroit Metal City, a satire of fame and the extremes of metal culture. Behind Krauser II’s polished, monstrous stage persona lies a contradictory, anxious artist who uses music to vent frustration and rebellion. The character’s on-stage swagger—blood-red lighting, thunderous riffs, anarchy-coded fashion—belies a more private life filled with humorous fanbase clashes and personal chaos. His duality drives the series’ humor and drama, as Krauser II challenges the civilian identity of his creator, turning everyday encounters into explosive, over-the-top performances that question authenticity, artistry, and the cost of living as your alter ego.
