The sniper of Syrup village appears. Just more than a week ago, 20th of April 2013, Figuarts ZERO - Sogeking (Battle ver.) was released. And as usual, we have here some early photos of the figure to review courtesy of ワンピース POP 予約＆新作速報 of blog.livedoor.jp.
As an addition to the Battle ver. series, Usopp or as Sogeking in this appearance, comes with a Firebird Star effect part which looks totally cool. Sogeking himself, like Boa Hancock (Battle ver.) is fine and looks close to the promo images, but I find the finish quality not very clean. The mask which is the trademark of Sogeking doesn't have a very finely applied paints, especially on the goggles. The cape seems to have a finish that can easily be scratched. The sash is kind of lacking in details.
I noticed a hole in the cape and a peg on the pocket of the slingshot. Is that suppose to be attached to each other? It does not appear to be like that on the promo images. It looks ugly with that hole and that peg sticking out. But I can't imagine the slingshot pocket attached to the cape. Guess I'll just have to find out when my copy arrives.
All-in-all, it isn't a bad release, but it's also not a strikingly awesome and detailed release either. Just somewhere in between. It has to be expected on every Figuarts ZERO release anyway. But since most of us will be displaying him together with the rest of the Figuarts ZEROs, I'm sure this will stand out. Afterall, it's Sogeking.
Still available on most hobby shops for 3,990 yen. You better get this one as there isn't much Sogeking collectible out there.
