Oro? Orooooooooooo
When I was a wee lad,
Rurouni Kenshin was my
favorite anime, and then my
favorite manga. No other artist has influenced the way I try to draw as Nobuhiro Watsuki, so seeing how
influential Rurouni Kenshin has been in my life... adding
Kenshin Himura into my collection was a no-brainer.
And well, he is a thing of beauty. Comes with a
ton of hands and face plates as well as an alternate belt(one has a peg for the scabbard). The sculpting is phenomenal, if you spend some time looking at Kenshin you'll start seeing all these various little pieces that
make him up and allow for so much articulation. It's also a bit scary, because you can tell how
fragile he is! The face-plates are so good that you can tell which ones are the Battousai faces and which ones are the Kenshin gestures.
As mentioned before, he is made up of a ton of different pieces, which grant him a fair amount of articulation, heck, as seen below, even his lower legs are on ball-pegs so that you can move his feet out of his wide pants! The one bad thing I'll say is that while there are swivels on his thighs... they are just for show, as due to their shape they
can't rotate. That said, he has double jointed knees and elbows, he also has butterfly joints and a ball jointed waist, so you can do a lot of fun stuff. Having hinges on his toes also allow him to pose like Kenshin would! He is quite a bit shorter than Bucky Cap.
The ball-jointed feet. Interesting!
Another small negative is that his arms can't go very high to the sides.
Not the best that S.H. Figuarts has done, but I'm quite happy with him, I played around with him a whole bunch, out of this last figure haul, he was probably the guy I played with the most aside from Dracula.
