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 able to include a picture of it in this review. Both Master Stars Piece Hinata and Tobio are carrying balls so I assume that they are in practice mode and not in an actual game.

For those of you who are looking for a more dynamic pose of Hinata, do not expect it from Banpresto's Master Stars Piece. The pose that you will see in the pictures below are typical of what you can get from Banpresto's Master Stars Piece (MSP) - the characters are just standing. You can notice this similarity in some other MSPs such as:

  1. Gintama's Gintoki
  2. Dragon Ball MSPs
  3. One Piece MSPs
  4. Practically all other MSPs 
  5. Kuroko MSPs
This MSP is actually quite similar to Kuroko from Kuroko no Basket since both are standing while holding a ball up their waste. The only thing missing from Hinata is that he does not come with his jacket. So far, in the MSP line, Banpresto has only released figures of Hinata and Tobio. As for the other figures, you can find them in Banpresto's DXF line although I am not sure if they are in the same scale as MSPs. Usually, MSPs are a bit larger than DXF figures from Banpresto.

So, here are the pictures and review of Banpresto's MSP Shoyo Hinata. Please feel free to browse our pictures and see for yourself whether you like this figure:






Whole body (front and back):

This figure that I got could actually stand on its own even without a base, which is good news since some MSP's cannot stand without their base.


If you look closely, you will notice that the ball actually has a peg that you can attach to Hinata's shorts. It is actually a must to display him with the ball, otherwise he would look like an idiot with his hand on his waist holding nothing :p.





His hair is actually quite sharp so do be careful in cleaning him. I have a hard time cleaning characters with sharp hairs because my duster tends to get stuck on them. If you could be more creative in cleaning your figures with sharp hairs, then that's good for you.



Back view of his head:


Back view of his, well... back.


Front view of his chest:


Waist and Ball:



Here are close-up shots of the shoes.


Wow, the paintjob may not be perfect but I am definitely loving the detail on those shoes!


This figure also comes with a base. Luckily, mine can stand even without the support of the base. It's kinda sad that they can't be more creative with the base. I really don't like the base that looks like there is something stuck on his shoe. Then again, with the price of this MSP figure, you can't be too picky with it. This is actually a common design for the bases/stands of MSP figures. I noticed a similar base on my MSP Gintama.


Thank you very much! 'Til next time!

In conclusion: I like this figure. If you are a fan of Haikyuu, you should get this one together with Master Stars Piece Tobio Kageyama. You can make the two of them stand side by side and their prices aren't that huge.

Megahouse GEM Lelouch 10th Anniversary Edition

The Year 2016 marked the 10th anniversary of Code Geass. Wow! That was such a long time ago! How fast time flies. We have actual product shots of Megahouse's 10th anniversary version of the long-time figure of Lelouch/Zero/Suzaku. (Yes, this figure has 3 other sets of heads, the zero mask, lelouch face, and suzaku's face - PLUS it comes with a sword too!). Although we will probably show the other heads in next pictorials. In the meantime, please enjoy our sites and we hope you would be interested in the figure as well :). In these set of pictures, we are only showing the Lelouch Face with Geass activated. The other face of Lelouch shows normal eyes but, more or less, similar facial expressions. it would have been nice if they added a face with more expression. Lelouch skyrocketed into fame after the Code Geass series. His contemporaries include Yagami Light from Death Note. Honestly, I think it would be a great battle to see Lelouch vs. Yagami Light vs. Reinhard von Lohengr...

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 ...
