I know I’ve said that I try to avoid talking about Shinkenger Figuarts, but really there’s no reason not to when I can boilerplate the one talking point I have to bring up each time. Here it is:
A lot of people hate the shoulders, and while they are weird to work with, and can create gaps if you aren’t conscientious about the near-floating cover pieces, I was never overly annoyed by them. Given the overall quality of the figures, they’re FINE.
Genta is very much like the other male figures, except that he’s one of the two that got a regular release. The excess stock even made it to American Toys R Us shelves during Samurai’s run. His accessory count is INSANE given that: fists, relaxed hands, hands for holding the Sakanamaru, a hand for DaiGoyou’s jiite, DaiGoyou himself (covered here), the Sushi Disk, and both Ika and Ebi Origami!!! Things get really nutty when it comes to the Sakanamaru. You get the minimized form for the back of his belt, the weapon itself, the sheath, AND a fused version with the blade halfway out of the sheath. This is only fitting given his iaido style of swordsmanship, but it REALLY wasn’t necessary when they could have just hollowed out the regular sheath. There isn’t an open Sushi Changer, but you’d be crazy to complain about that with this much stuff already present at a regular retail price.
Without question, worth every cent. Almost for his accessories alone!
