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 ny Megahouse. It was also of the same standing position, although not exactly the same as this figure. I'm just emphasizing that it, in general, he is just standing in the new version as compared to more dynamic poses. Hence, the need to refer to this as a Version Kai (New Version) as opposed to a "Fighting" or "Dynamic" version.

I was not able to get the first version but, in terms of quality, I personally liked this better. He is quite a simple figure and he doesn't come with lots of accessories. A closer examination of the box later on would reveal the following contents:
  1. An extra arm - for holding out the sword
  2. His mayonnaise that he loves very much
  3. Cigarettes (similar to Sanji's cigarettes from One Piece)
  4. His sword - which you can actually put inside his sheath if you want to use the other hand for posing purposes.
  5. His jacket - he can actually either wear his jacket or not - it's up to the collector how he wants to pose this. We have also included pictures of him without the jacket.
Hijikata's default folding arm is holding something close to his face. This can actually be used to fit in the mayonnaise that comes with the figure or this can be used to hold the cigarettes for Hijikata.

In any case, please find more actual pictures and more of our review in the pictures below:




As you can see, the right hand is replaceable with another one and he also has his mayonnaise. His Katana can be sheathed too so it's no problem displaying it if you are not using the outstretched hand. He also has two cigarette sticks. If you ask me why he has two cigarette sticks, I'd say it's because there's a good chance you'll lose one of them if you're not careful.









I didn't have a problem replacing the right hand with the other one because it was a perfect fit, not too hard, not too loose.





Thank you for your time!

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...

Actual Pictures of MegaHouse G.E.M. Tetsuya Kuroko

Hello! I'm back with actual photos of Megahouse G.E.M. Tetsuya Kuroko from Kuroko's Basketball. I'm still new with the lighting but actual product with you may differ from the pictures due to the lights. Anyway, enjoy the actual photos of GEM Tetsuya Kuroko and I hope this will be helpful for you! Tetsuya Kuroko is one of the main protagonists in the anime series Kuroko no Basket. He is the famed phantom sixth man of the basketball team which was known as the Generation of Miracles for their talent. He was called as the "Phantom Sixth Man" because you could barely notice his presence and he was not as famous as the other members of the basketball team known as the Generation of Miracles. In his new team, he is paired up with Taiga Kagami who can go head-to-head with the members of the Generation of Miracles. Taiga Kagami and the other members of the Generation of Miracles have their own figures by Megahouse as well.  While Kuroko is known as the phantom s...
