Please don't judge me.
So, even way back when I was a hormonal teen I thought Ikkitosen was garbage. I didn't understand what was so fun or 'exciting' about the characters getting their clothes torn while they fight.
That said... I thought some of the character designs were really good, and
Kanu Unchou was a design I fell in love with, I hated the fact that she was part of such a bad manga. Well, here she is, free from the manga, in action figure form!
This girl looks
GOOD. I mentioned that I loved the design, right? So... yeah. The only thing is... I kinda remembered her hair being a bit more purple and her skin a tad more tan, but... I'll take what I can get. She comes with her Guan Yu spear, which looks really nice, as well as a bunch of face plates, hands and.... and... an alternate
torn skirt and an alternate
torn shirt... Yeah, if you are into pervy figures, there ya go.
The articulation is pretty good, as with every other FIGMA. No swivels anywhere, but the ball joints on her shoulders, knees, elbows and ab-crunch give her a lot of
range. Something that threw me off was that she's... she's rather small, even for an import figure. Pictured below you'll see that she's shorter than Figuart's 2B! A bit
shocking that she'll look so out of scale with the rest of my collection!
The problem with the alternate shirts is that you'll get these
gaps on the sides of her torso. And if you move it around, the gap gets worse until you apply some force. The alternate torn shirt looks even gappier, for whatever reason.
Something I liked, this figure has American-like pegs on the hands! Sure they offer less range than Japanese figures, but I feel like these aren't as fragile. So bonus points for that!
So... I like the figure, because I like the character design, but I'm not gonna lie... I'm kinda disappointed by how small she is!
