Review: Tsume HQF Street Fighter IV Ultra - Chun-li

What's up guys. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Just really needs a lot of stuff to take care of on my daily life. But I'm back now, and to follow-up my review of Tsume HQF Street Fighter IV Ultra - Vega, here now is Street Fighter IV Ultra - Chun-li, also from Tsume's HQF product line.

Review: Tsume HQF Street Fighter IV Ultra - Vega

Hello guys! Sorry for the long wait. Kinda little busy on everyday life so I wasn't really able to put up some good posts here in my blog. But I am here now for some Street Fighter goodness. We got a Tsume HQF Street Fighter IV Ultra- 1/8th Scale Vega figure to review, courtesy of Figmation. 

Review: Tsume XTRA - Uchiha Sasuke

I'm back again with another Tsume XTRA. This time we'll be talking about XTRA 05 - Uchiha Sasuke. Thanks to Figmation for giving me a copy of this figure. Although this is the 5th figure under the XTRA product line, this is the 3rd XTRA figure based on the Naruto anime/manga series. Let's check it out.

Review: Tsume XTRA - Pain

A few days ago we reviewed Tsume XTRA - Uzumaki Naruto. To follow-up, here we have Tsume XTRA - Pain, the second addition to the XTRA series collection. Kudos to Figmation for providing us this limited edition figure to review. So without further ado, let's check out this epic villain of Naruto manga/anime series.

Review: Tsume XTRA - Uzumaki Naruto

Hey, guys! Figmation is kind enough to provide us a copy of Tsume XTRA - Uzumaki Naruto to review. We actually have Tsume XTRA - Pain and Sasuke as well. So I'm going to have a series of reviews for these three first XTRA figure product line by Tsume.

Sakura Haruno "Undefective Bonds" – HQS by Tsume

Tsume has done a few great Naruto High Quality Statues (HQS) in the past. These are Naruto Uzumaki Summon of Gamakichi, Gaara Shukaku's Hand and Art of Bang. Adding to this line-up is Haruno Sakura in her own statue entitled "Undefective Bonds". I don't know what that title really meant for the statue since she's standing on top of three Sasori’s puppets.

While the statue's detailing looks great and Sakura's appearance looks bad-ass strong here, I don't find the whole diorama appealing. To me it's looks somewhat morbid because of those puppets that looks like slaughtered humans. It's not pleasing to the eye and it does not fit Sakura's personality.

Yeah, I know, she really did beat Sasori on the manga/anime. But maybe it's better if they just made it less disturbing, like fighting face to face against Sasori or just simply punching a puppet. I don't know, maybe Tsume should have thought of something else. For the price tag of 279€, I find it too expensive for my liking. I'd rather be spending that amount on something else. This diorama statue is limited to 600 pieces only by the way. 

Tsume X-tra - Uzumaki Naruto & Pain

Tsume, a European figure manufacturer that is known for their expensive resin Naruto and Bleach figures just started a new 1/10th PVC scale figure product line called X-tra. The first two characters to be given this "X-tra" treatment is Naruto and Pain.

Based of these official images, these two figures are incredibly awesome. Naruto is in his Sage mode and is dynamically posed unleashing his Rasen Shuriken attack as seen in the Invasion of Pain Arc. Pain is shown in his Deva Path appearance, standing with his right arm fully stretched and left hand holding one of his Chakra Disruption Blades. These two figures are definitely made to be displayed together, immortalizing the epic duel between Naruto and Pain.

Set to be released on May or June 2013 for the price of 44.90 € each (around 60 USD tax included) and according to their site, each figure is limited to 3000 pieces only. Tsume is now accepting preorders for these two figures on their web shop, but it doesn't seem like they are shipping outside Europe. Anyway, I would probably find some third party re-sellers for this one as these are both "must-get" for me. I hope they will continue on with more characters under this product line.

Update (2013-02-27): These two are now available for preorder at Figmation [ Naruto | Pain ]
