SHF The Unfettered Shogun - Tokugawa Yoshimune Review

Three-dimensional with the appearance of the unfettered shogun of the historical drama such as costumes. It looks like OOO, but there was no such notation.

Head

The eyes and nasolabial folds are a little different from the sample, and the sample was just a smile, but it made me feel like I was laughing. Although it is realistic and similar with digital coloring, it is a bit disappointing that this one type of facial expression, so I wanted you to add a true face. Even with shading.

Body

Haori has a material and texture similar to Star Wars Jedi. It had a fine mold and looked good. The two swords on the left are separate parts and can be attached to the waist by yourself. The longer one can be removed.

Arms and Legs

The arms have been accurately reproduced with the spread of the sleeves, and the hakama and patterns have been printed very carefully. Movable, the neck swings quite a bit, but the waist is a little.

The shoulders rise considerably, the elbows move 120 degrees, and the knees move about 90 degrees. The hip joint is not a pull-out type, but the pants part is made of soft material and can be widely moved back and forth and sideways. The grounding property was also quite high.

Option set and Accessories

Only the longer one can be pulled out, and the Wakizashi cannot be pulled out. Folding fan comes with a special handle. With the true value Ooo who co-starred with the shogun in 21 core medals. The size is about the same. It was about the same size as the Japanese entertainer characters that appeared in the past.

Movability and Articulation

Movable is decent as mentioned above. The waist was a little cramped because of the scabbard. The waist turned firmly and the ground contact was good. You can also hold the sword with both hands and swing it.

The appearance of the folding fan was also quite real. Matsuken Samba-like pose. It's a pity that it's one kind of thing with a laughing expression.

Summary

This is the review of SHFiguarts Abarenbō Shōgun - Tokugawa Yoshimune from Masked Rider OOO. As usual, the face with digital coloring is very realistic and very similar, the proportions and the silhouette of the kimono are as you imagined, and the hakama pattern is carefully printed and well done.

The waist, which is movable but the scabbard interferes, is a little unsatisfactory, but the other parts move well, and there was no big dissatisfaction in terms of play. However, the biggest drawback is that it made me feel like my face was laughing compared to the sample, so when I put out a live-action character.
