D-Arts Wargreymon (first release)





The original Wargreymon by Bandai and Tamashii Nations features a duller, simpler paint job than the "Original Desinger's Edition" that would release later under their S.H. Figuarts line. I prefer this color scheme over the metallic, almost chrome-like paint on the later version.





Wargreymon comes with the "Terra Force" effect part, but it is a bit too heavy for the figure to confidently hold it. You'll need to fiddle with it for a while.






The Dramon Killers can be removed by first removing the fists. Wargreymon can be displayed without them to recreate scenes from the anime and movies where he lost them in battle.




The Dramon Killers sit loosely over the figure's fists. As I do not plan on ever displaying him without the Dramon Killers, I opted to glue them to the fists to stop the feeling of flimsiness when handling the figure.


 

"TERRA FORCE!!"

S.H. Figuarts "Sage Mode" Naruto Uzumaki

Figuarts Naruto 2.0








Included:


  • Rasengan effect part
  • Rasen-shuriken effect part
  • Alternate hands
  • 2 Alternate faces
  • 2 kunai
  • Tamashii base + stand + claw
  • Instructions

One of the hands has a peg in it, to be used with the Rasengan.



The headband has a very tiny joint that allows you to adjust it. It seems delicate, though, so apply pressure at the base when you move it.






To change faces, pull down on the face. It does not have a detachable hair piece like your typical Figma or Figuarts.



The Rasen-shuriken requires the tamashii stand to be used. Naruto cannot hold it.
