S.H.F Barnaby Brooks Jr.

Hey buddy, it's me again with my simple review about Toys and Hobbies. There is no Gundam recently (the latest post was GFF Metal Composite RX-78-2 Gundam) because the S.H.Figuarts still owning, I just can't let it just flow away without sharing it for you. Well I hope all of you who came here did not bored already with my post. Here is the star heroes in Sternbild City, The S.H. Figuarts Barnaby Brooks Jr. who seek for revenge at his parent death.

Barnaby Brooks Jr. is the other protagonist in Tiger & Bunny, who is called "Bunny" by Kotetsu because of his earpieces and his armor color. He is the newest rookie hero who does not hide his identity and be a Wild Tiger's partner. He has the same superpower with Kotetsu but always using his brain than brute force, of course to save his Hundred Power for urgent situation. His parents were killed by Jake martinez when Barnaby still at four years old and now he can beat him with Wild Tiger's help.

As you can see from the pictures above, the S.H. Figuarts Barnaby Brooks Jr. suit displays advertising for Amazon.co.jp at his right arm, Crusade System Card Series at his left arm, and also the biggest toy company in Japan, Bandai on the chest. The design of his suit is more elegant than his parter, Wild Tiger. The color was really nice with the combining color, it was red, pink, black, and white.

The S.H. Figuarts Barnaby Brooks Jr. has a finishing technique as well as S.H. Figuarts Wild Tiger had. In the movies, it has to be on his right leg become bigger and usually it will affect more damage with combo. But from the pictures, I did not see any of those thing which comes as the accessories now. Maybe Bandai will announce it soon with new images. This good will be released on September with 4500yen tag price. So be ready for this and get your pre order now. You can see more images at Gundam Figures.

The S.H.Figuarts line has become an exciting line lately with the release of new products each month. This toy line many sector such as Kamen Rider, One Piece, Dragon Ball, Tiger & Bunny, and many more. The design and articulation are great, this is the next generation for Japanese action figure, well that was my opinion so you better not to trust it before you watched it by yourself. For the latest upcoming S.H.F line, this is the main protagonist from the rising anime of this year, Tiger and Bunny with their product S.H. Figuarts Wild Tiger.

Kotetsu T. Kaburagi is the veteran heroes in Sternbild City. Like the other heroes, he possessed the power within his body. The one who have power is called NEXT because they are not a normal human but look the same from outside. Those NEXT can be anything they like, good or bad. Kotetsu was choosen by his work company and given the name as Wild Tiger. His uniforms also contain advertisements for the Japanese media company SoftBank and Japanese S.H. Figuarts toy line.

Wild Tiger possesses the Hundred Power to increase his physical abilities hundredfold only for five minutes. After five minutes gone, he won't be able to use it again for one hour. He can not recklessly using his power except for an urgent situation. The S.H. Figuarts Wild Tiger comes with his finishing technique that make his rifht arm bigger to give a final blow. This mode only able in hundredfold power within his five minutes. The finishing blow will be more dangerous using a combo with his partner S.H. Figuarts Barnaby Brooks Jr. .

S.H. Figuarts Wild Tiger will be released on September this year with 4500yen tag price. I believe another heroes will be announce it's confirmed date too as soon as possible. Even with the high price, I think this action figure is worth to buy considering the perfect design and articulation they have made. If you still new with this character, you should watch Tiger & Bunny for your own sake. I believe that you think the same as I did. Go place your pre order state if you interested with this figure, the HLJ.com and other online toy store might be available for pre order. You can see more images from HERE.
