SH figuarts Shinken Red Review

 This is my 1st toy review, not that good, but hopefully it is presentable.
Costing my $40 would be SH Figuarts Shinken Red
 Firstly lets talk about the box, very nice design basically, seriously this attract me to buy and keeps me going in collecting this series.
Next would be the content, for all the Super Sentai Series, I am very satisfied with the content. Comes with a variety of items. 
This set includes:
- Shinken Red figure
-Shodophone 
- Shinken Maru
-2 Shishi (Lion) Origami
- Rekka Daizanto
- 6 Right Hands
- 3 Left Hands

Now lets get started with the figure!!!!



Figure is really well painted and there are really tons of articulation, you can really make a lot different type of pose for Shinken Red. Pardon me people, I am not a very good toy figure poser, so my review is really limited in the different type of posing. 

The shinken Maru is the primary weapon for the shinkengers, well painted, it not just can be held by Shinken Red, but also put into the side of his belt.

 Cool thing, the disk can be taken out of the Maru, but unfortunately it cannot be spin when inserted into the Maru.

 This is how the belt looks like, left side for the Maru while right side have a pouch that contain Shodophone, correct me if I am wrong. The belt buckle cannot contain hidden disk or open, I was thinking of doing a "removing disk from buckle" action.
 Cool Right?

Lets come to the hand now, besides the basic clutching hand that all figure comes with, this set comes with the open hand, thats my term.

Kind of looks cute, from this angle

"I am Shinken Red.... why?"
This will be the weapon holding hand, the fingers design is meant for a single handed weapon, which in this case will be Shinken Maru.
Disc spinning action!
Honestly speaking, you have to adjust the hand to the Maru a few times in order to make Shinken Red hold it  firmly


Shinken Red, Takeru Shiba
This would be a pen holding hand
 Shodo phone is really a gift for this set, the painting are really accurate, even the small phone button is well painted.


 Shodo phone, Ippitsu Sojo!!

 Another hard way to held the shodo phone firmly, I don't think you write with your hand like that!

Draw a 大
 This will be the origami holding hand








Shishi origami really is cute, unfortunately it comes with the Male shinken red set only, what is wrong with Bandai seriously?!?! So sexiest, anyways, this is really nicely painted, and the front legs are movable.
 Good thing, it also comes with the folded version of shishi origami, with a shape of a irregular pentagon and a 火which mean fire.

How accurately painted even on the back.

How he holds it, again the problem, can't really hold it firmly.
 This 2 will be the last of the hands, it is also a weapon holding hand but this time it is meant for 2 handed weapon, which is the Rekka Daizanto.

Really big weapon, the thing about this weapon is that only Shinken Red can hold this, the handle cannot be move, I was thinking of making the team finisher.

 The disc can be spin on the side, which is awesome, but cannot be remove, sad.....
 One hand holding the weapon really is hard for him to stand still without a figure stand, took me some time to get him stand still, and took a few seconds before he fell.

 Slashing action, unfortunately I do not have any effect part or else it would look more realistic.

 Slouching attack!!!

Overall, this figuarts set is worth your money, it comes with wide variety of accessories and free Kuroko.
Rating: 9.5/10, the hands.....
The Kuroko review will be included in SH figuarts Shinken Gold review. Stay tune!
