Bandai S.H.Figuarts Kaiju no.8 Reno Ichikawa and Mina Ashiro Review and Images

It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: ToyFarce review!

This week, we're having a look at the S.H.Figuarts Kaiju no.8 figures of Reno Ichikawa and Mina Ashiro from Bandai/Tamashii Nations. The first Kaiju no.8 figure was so good, I had to get the other characters (just so that he doesn't feel to lonely!). The other characters all have more or less the same uniform and articulations, but come with multiple facial expressions and their respective weapons to make up for that. They're also very solid figures. Can somebody saaaaave...my wallet?



Reno Ichikawa is Kafka's only friend, and the only one to know about his secret at first. He was there at the hospital when Kafka got the power to turn into a living weapon Kaiju no. 8, and is worried about the organization fighting Kaijus figuring out his real identity. He's also the straight face to Kafka's complete wackiness, and an excellent marksman. The figure comes with 5 face plates, 2 hair parts, 3 pairs of hands an assault rifle and an extra face for the Kaiju no. 8 figure. (All figures will come with an extra expression for Kaiju no. 8, which is a great incentive to get them all!). The figure is highly articulated and can be very easily posed in kickass poses.
















"STOP THIS! They're gonna find out it's you!!!"


Mina Ashiro is the captain of the Third Division of the Defence Force, and also Kafka's childhood friend (he joined the force to try to reconnect with her). She's one of the best officers of the Defence Force and an excellent marksman, using a powerful cannon to get rid of 'Strongest Supergiant-Class' Kaijus, and has neutralized hundreds of them. The figure comes with 4 different face plates (one including a visor), 3 pairs of hands, her gigantic T-25101985 cannon which comes with its own mini-stand, and an extra face plate for Kaiju no.8. A great figure, which has a ton of presence with that huge cannon.




















A few more figures have already been announced: Kikoru Shinomoya, the evil Kaiju no.9 and Soshiro Hoshina, Mina's vice captain of the Defence Force + a reissue of the first Kaiju no. 8 figure for those who missed out on it. All figures can be found at our sponsor BigBadToyStore!
