It's
Wednesday and you know what that means:
ToyFarce reviews!
This week, we're having a look at the
Bojji and
Kagge figures from
Ranking of Kings by
Bandai Spirits/
S.H. Figuarts/
Tamashii Nations/whatever they are called this week!
Ranking of Kings is a fantastic anime with beautiful animation (reminds me of early Ghibli movies), a great story, nice characters with depth, and a lovely soundtrack (both opening and ending theme are so good). Can you tell I liked it? If you haven't seen it, do try to watch it. I didn't get into it right away, but as soon as I started watching, I knew I would need a plastic representation of
Bojji on one of my shelves. The options were either a
Banpresto mini statue, a
Good Smile Nendoroid figure that comes out in November, or a nice, articulated
S.H.Figuarts figure.
The choice was easy...
Prince Bojji, along with
Kagge, comes with
5 different head plates,
7 extra hands, his
green cape, his
training stick, a
sheath and his trusty
rapier. The figure has a good amount of
articulations, considering his
size (tiny), and he's surprisingly
easy to balance, even with his big head that I thought would make him '
top heavy'.
The
facial expressions are great, and allow for lots of different poses and situations. I would say that the white on the eyes could have been more white, though. Also, the head without faceplate is pure
nightmare fuel..
Kagge could have also used maybe one ball joint for the mouth/arm, or the possiblity to remove it. Otherwise, a
solid set! Hopefully,
Bandai does more characters from the show, who has plenty of great designs to choose from.
