Himura Kenshin Gashapon

After a range of mecha/robot reviews, lets head back to the figures for some fresh faces~
Introducing Himura Kenshin from the series Rurouni Kenshin or better known to many of us as Samurai X. Rurouni Kenshin is a manga (which eventually went into anime) is story about the title character, Himura Kenshin who was an assassin by the name of "Hitokiri Battosai" but after the end of the "Bakamatsu War", he decided to atone for his sins by helping people in need. With the help of his friends Kaoru, Sanosuke and Yahiko, they brought down assassins and evil politicians alike.

Moving on to the figure, this gashapon stands just around 3cm tall and cost 200yen . It's more to a handphone strap than an actual gashapon, as you can see the dangling piece on his head. In this line of Rurouni Kenshin gashapons, there are two types of Kenshin which is dressed either in his traditional red/maroon and blue, of which i got the latter.

"Made in China! (well of course...) ^^

Details:

A little smudge but for a gashapon, its really fine

His Hakama (pants) is pretty well detailed

Overall, the paintjob is decent for a gashapon an its details are quite good for a 200yen line of gashapons. It can't be displayed standing on its own though because of the dangling line but with a help of a little blue tag, it can be displayed just fine. A worthwhile collection for fans of the series out there. A respectable 7.5/10.

WAIT!!! There's MORE!!

Cyberverse Optimus Prime AWP Review Part 2

As the Part 1 review featured here shows only Optimus Prime without its trailer, this part of the review will be focused on the trailer and its combination with OP itself.

Vehicle Mode:

The proportions of the trailer to Optimus is top notch for this Commander class figure as it still looks stunning in its size. Transformation is a breeze with the trailer and the details are quite standard i would say for Prime's trailer.

Trailer Assault Vehicle Mode:

Honestly, this looks like a robot from an old science fiction movie when its standing on its own. It's "Legs" are a bit flimsy as the weight on the hands are a bit too much for it to handle. However, it stands up and is balanced very well after combining with Optimus Prime. Must be its designed to be that way huh. ^^

 Trailer Battle Base Mode:

Battle base mode really shows the details on the trailer itself as its all "folded out" in this form. I like the missile launcher posed this way rather than the ones showed in the manual which is opposite to the way i positioned it. Must be because i found a useful mech port location there.

Combined Mode:

Combination of the two is fairly easy as it uses the simply clip joints for connection, however, some degree of force would be required for it be snapped into place. The hands connects well to its "extended" arms and can some slight articulation as well. Not bad indeed!

Details:

Triple rocket launcher??

Grappling arm

Buster Arm

Kinda looks like the Macross Quarter doesn't it? 

Action Poses:

Well we didn't get to see this on film did we? (Trailer been smacked aside doesn't count)

Overall, this figure does very well and its well worth its price. With an addition approx RM30 compared to its Jetwing counterpart, i believe this is a better bargain and offers much more playability. With that said,

*AUTOBOTS! TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!!*
