Kotobukiya Prince of Tennis - Ryoma Echizen

Introducing to you Kotobukiya's Ryoma Echizen. One of the rare scale figures of Ryoma Echizen from the Prince of Tennis. He is the young tennis genius in the anime series and he is famous for saying "mada mada dane." I think Ryoma's tennis prowess is already at par with that of famous tennis players like Roger Federer. But, then again, this is just fiction and tennis doesn't bring out your superpowers. 

Kotobukiya's Ryoma Echizen stands about 8" tall. He comes with an extra head, a tennis racket, and his cat, Karupin. The extra head that comes with him is the one without his cap on. Karupin looks too cute as an accessory and reminds me of Kotobukiya's Yusuke Urameshi which also has a pet as a similar accessory. As usual, Echizen's face shows a very smug look. This look comes from the overwhelming confidence that he will be able to beat his opponent at any game. His skill level is so high that he shouldn't be judged by his appearance alone.

Regarding the figure, please read the instructions on how to insert the tennis racket because you could detach the handle from the head of the racket itself. Also, be careful with the base because it was kinda hard to put in but it was a good fit nonetheless. This product features Echizen in his Prince of Tennis II Uniform and not in his original Seigaku uniform. Frankly speaking, I would have liked it better if he were wearing his Seigaku uniform with the blue and red combination. The original Seigaku uniform definitely brings out the nostalgia in me. Furthermore, the Seigaku uniform is the one which is more prominent since it is what we can also see in most cosplays.

With respect to the quality of this figure, it is definitely good. Kotobukiya is a very high-quality manufacturer of these figures and, so far, their quality with these scale figures does not disappoint. I can trust on Kotobukiya to make one of the most wonderful renditions of our favorite anime characters. In fact, Kotobukiya has so much wonderful items lined up for this year and the next that I am already confused as to how I can afford most of it. For me, I am always torn between two lovers - Kotobukiya and Megahouse. I like both companies and their products. 

So, I hope you enjoy more pictures of Kotobukiya's Ryoma Echizen that we have pasted here.

Megahouse G.E.M. Hijikata Toushirou Ver. Ka

Introducing to you Megahouse G.E.M. Hijikata Toushirou Ver. Kai! You will find pictures of the actual product here. I would have to say unboxing this figure was a great pleasure. The details are superb and I'm going to let the pictures speak for themselves. Megahouse is really stepping up with some of its recent releases. The quality of this figure is outstanding. As to whether the figure is representative of the character, I'd say it all boils down to personal preference and, for me, I am quite satisfied.  Hijikata Toushiro is a character from the hit anime series Gintama. He is known as the Demon Vice Commander of the Shinsengumi in this show. In the show, Hijikata actually became an otaku who was also interested in collecting anime figures. His love for mayonnaise is very much emphasized in the show where he can be seen eating bowls of it or even using it as a weapon. This is a Version Kai (New) because there has already been a previous release of Hijikata Toushiro ...

Master Stars Piece MSP Hinata Shoyo - Haikyuu!! - Banpresto

Hello! Here are actual pictures of Banpresto's Master Stars Piece of Hinata Shoyo from Haikyuu. As what you would expect from a figure of this scale and price, the paint job is not that super great, but it's actually good. In fact, I like this figure very much. The consistency in paint job could differ for each figure, but this is nothing out of the ordinary that you would expect from a prize figure. I got this figure for around P1,000 which is usually how much Master Stars Pieces sell for (except the special limited ones which could go as high as P2,500 - P3,000). Hinata is one of the main characters in the anime show Haikyuu!! He is supposedly small but has incredible jumping power which earned him the distinction of being the best decoy. His combination with Tobio Kageyama, however, is also a deadly weapon for their team. You can actually pose this figure of Hinata together with Tobio since there is also a Master Stars Piece of Tobio Kageyama - although we weren't ab...

Kotobukiya Artfx J Ken Kaneki - 1/8 Awakened Ver.

Hello! It's been a long time since we've posted. We do have more arrivals at our site www.wrenhobbi.com but as for pictures of opened products, we'll try to update our personal collection. Showing you up next is Kotobukiya's Ken Kaneki in 1/8 Scale. Enjoy the pictures of the actual item. Note: Lighting and camera may affect the quality of the picture and there may be slight differences if you have the actual product. Ken Kaneki is one of my favorite character out there. He is the typical protagonist you see - wimpy at first but then slowly starts to get better as the show progresses. What I like about him is that in Tokyo Ghoul, you can see his bitter struggles and how he matures and grows into his role despite the tragedies that he has already experienced. I like having characters like this with inspiring backgrounds because whenever I see their figure, I am reminded of what I admire in these characters. That said, aside from the character himself, this figure of K...
