Bandai S.H.Figuarts Night Rogue Review!

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Bandai bespoken S.H.Figuarts line, from the show Kamen Rider Build, Night rogue! let's get things started.

first of all, this is the main rider villain of the kamen rider build series at the early episodes. And I must say, he is really epic, the bat theme with bat full bottle and those colour scheme really works for villain. And again, Bandai did a great job converting him into S.H.Figuarts!

Now let's talk about this figure. for around $50 (that's the price I got him) you get that amount of accesories. Bunch of pair hands and a set of weapons.

First, you'll get a pair of grabbing hands. Obviously for grabbing his weapons

that I mention earlier. 

 A pair of closed fists, for punches purpose :D

 A pair of open relaxed hands

 A pair of 'almost-clawing' open hands. It's like expressive open hands

but not expressive enough that even I'm not impressed lol.

and the 'henshin' trans-steam gun also the steam blade.

The over all sculpting and painting of those accessories are actually really good. It is a shame though the back of the trans-steam gun isn't painted but the fact that Bandai included them (not separated with another exclusive releases) made me feel a little grateful.

Now into the articulations, night rogue has a various range of articulation. Though you can't get really crazy like revoltech line, night rogue still has it for me lol.

Okay let's start, he has double joint at the elbow, creating that much range of articulations, the head can look up that far

also double joint at the knee, the head can look down that far.

the arms actually not hindered by the shoulder pads, I'm just lazy doing some poses lol.

close up look from the front, really nice colour separation

look from the back.

Let's wrap up this review with some poses shall we?

jouketsu! mist match! Bat B-B-Bat! Fire!

you actually can combine the weapons together creating trans-steam gun rifle mode. It looks somewhat ridiculous but also cool in a way.

"yo what's up? you look like ligma lmao"

"BAAM"

"huehuehuehue"

okay so, pros and cons are:
PROS
- great deal with a great price! though I wished for some more accesories, he still fine as hell
- nice detail, actually really nice detail. S.H.Figuarts really catch the original costume design.
- poses really nicely and also really well

CONS
- for me, the eye visor thing are too clear, the real eyes from the  helmet sometimes poking out and that's bothering me more than it should. Maybe you could repaint it but for me? Prefer darker yellow

for real, that's the only cons for me lol, if you have another cons leave it in the comment.
That's it from me, see you guys next review!

S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Tank Form Quick Review!

Hi everyone!

Long time no see and here we go again with another toy review.

This time we tackled over the "infamous" line of figures that came from Japan, the Super Hero Figuarts from Bandai. Now, while there's nothing bad with this figure but, this time our beloved company decided to cutout some of the essential accesories of their figures. At first I thought they only do this to other lines of figures beside theirs, but hey, look at what we get now! 

Alright, enough with that kind of talk let's talk straight to the figures shall we?

Starting off from what you get from the box. And yeah, I didn't forget to take pictures of the accesories. It just a couple of set hands, and nothing else. The pairs you  get is closed fists, open hand, the "signature" hands, and only one holding hand.

nonetheless, this figure look great and shinny with those metallic finish on the red and blue, makes this figure looks expensive. The clear pieces on the eyes also very reflective, well if you have enough light really. Just let the pictures do the talk.

from these 3 pictures, you'll see how inconsistent the lightning are. It's because I rely on sunlight which is pretty hard to control lol.

The articulation is nothing specials. They're good but nothing really new and crazy. You do enable to recapture the most iconic pose from this guy's show, but not the most crazy ones. 

The painting though, is very nice and clean. I'm surprised how detailed the belt (a.k.a Build Driver) is. Even the full bottles are molded in clear plastic AND can be removed although it's so tiny don't lose them :D

The holding hand that I've mentioned earlier was to replicate the finishing move triggered by rotating the lever on the build driver. But be careful though, it's easily paint chipped.

Also the iconic pose hands are just there to do some pose like this:

"I've found the winning formula!"

"shall we begin the experiment?"

VOLTECH FINISH!

and that rider kick bring us to the end of this review

That can be concluded in my point of view, this figure is

PROS

- Relatively cheap SHF figure, around 3,400yen list price (Just a friendly reminder MARVEL characters from SHF are more expensives because of the copyrights infringement or something, so Marvel SHF with the same amount of accesories can be ranged from 6,000-9,000yen, just keep that in mind :D )

- Great paintjob, great articulated figures, pretty solid on the joints too.

CONS

- NO accesories just like the SHF Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed, you could get the accs from the other SHF figure which is for this case, the SHF Smartphone bike or something like that

other than that, it's just a normal SHF figure. If you want to experience what is SHF Kamen Rider Series look and feels like, and if you are a completionist, I'd recommend this figure. But if you're nothing like I mentioned about, you can pass on this figure easily.

Thank you for turning in this time

until next review

goodbye!

Figma Serval Kemono Friends Review!

Well, hello again!

It's not has been a week or a month

but I do came back with another review! (but maybe I should make myself a schedule don't I well whatever) yet another time to kill today, so what's wrong with another review lol.

Now that's been said, let's get into the review!

This time, we're gonna get a chance to look at Figma Serval from internet's beloved anime series Kemono Friends! (Ps: this review and any other reviews in my blog are on my view points. No need to be sad because it is what I see on my prespective.)

wow, an actual package shot! how convenient! I actually suffer to get this figure as brand new as possible, it even cost me a loan to my brother (thank's bro)

Now, for those who don't know, what anime kemono friends is, well, It's an anime where animals turn into a cute girl called 'friends' because of the sandstar eruption. You guys should check it out, don't let the poor 3DCG fools you. The story are more than meet the eye :D

Okay let's talk about this figma! first of all, the painting and the sculpting is great! Max Factory really doing a great job throughout this figure. But maybe because the anime was 3DCG so they maybe didn't have to render it lol. 

This is pretty much what you'll get for serval. A figma stand, Sets of expression faces, A set of hands including: Expressive open hands, closed fist, clawing(?) hands, and grabbing hands (I'm not using the grabbing hands in this review because she's got nothing to grab apparently:( ). And finally you got this Japari Bun for her to hold on. Neat!

this figma is relatively short and small, but it does catch her appearance on the screen, so doesn't bother me lol.

For what can I say, this is a pretty decent figures for around $50. But I'm assuming you guys would pay for other figures than this "girly" doll lol.
alright let's get into some accesories!

okay, first you get her happy face :D which is, pretty happy from what I can see. Happier than me right now...

for the good ol' posing sake, I'm using her closed fists first. My inner "fighting pose" could only think of punching action even though it maybe not relevant to the anime well lol who cares let's move on.

what can I say, she can pull off some great poses! Now let's get going to the next accesories we got!

You get Japari Bun! WOW How great! (Just kidding, this was okay but like super duper okay and ordinary so that's that) and, the clawing hands I've mentioned before.

if you're wondering and play dark souls 3, you'll know what it is. If you didn't know, well here's some context

 also the "stupid face serval makes" face, I mean just look at it. I love how figma catches the on screen looks of how just cute and stupid this face looks

If that's not accurate, I don't know what is

From now 'till the end of the review, I shouldn't talk anything, so I just put the pictures and let them do it's justice lol.

Smug face!

alse this thumb up hand. but sadly it's just for the right hand so there's that.

It was me! Dio!

Apparently, irl, Serval cat can jump up to 2 meter. The mo' you know

Wakanda Forever!

and then, this shocked face. Looks shocked :O

Whoa! It talked!

Raiden : Don't eat me

Serval : I won't eat you!

well what can I say, they look good together.
Serval: Let's Hunt some ceruleans!

Okay let's wrap this review and spread out the pros and cons

Pros:

- great articulation! for a figma and from my experience with figma, they usually not that poseable, since this figure's skirt using some soft rubber, it makes posing so easy

- good colour that capture from the screen really well!

- good amount of accesories!

- Great sculpt and painting!

Cons:

- the price is a little bit too high for me, I mean, this gonna be by far my most expensive figure in my shelf. 

- the skirt, although it made out of a soft rubber, it doesn't cover the truth that this figure's skirt is too wide for my preference.

- some of you might be upset for the visible joints, but I'm not

Okay guys, thats it for this time

I hope I can make another review and if you noticed it, my setup background is a little bit different. It's because at the moment I'm not at my house, right now I'm at my flat in the different province and I'm here to attend to university. So I'm sorry if there's no next review or in the review doesn't have size comparison to another figures.

Thank you
