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.

S.H.F Wild Tiger

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.

S.H.F Kamen Rider Faiz Axel Form

This page is dominated by Rider, since I did not have any ideas to post another line. Well this isn't bad though you will get the handsome rider form with black color with silver line. Right now I would like to share a simple review with few pictures about S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Faiz Axel Form. It is a Tamashii Web Exclusive figure with price about 3465 yen through pre-order, and already released in this month. Axel Form is the other type from S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Faiz Blaster Form. This form only last in 10 seconds after the activation of Faiz Driver's basic form, in 10 seconds he will move with speed of sound and his physical attacks becomes 1.5 times stronger with variaties finishing techniques.

The design of Faiz Axel Form is really cool with simple mat black color and the complex colored inside the chest. The full metal rungs inside the chest is expanded to a fairly complex design, and the bloody core at the centre of the chest was coated with metallic paint. You can see the face design in the ultimate finder is the same shape with Faiz Blaster Form but it turns red in this form. The belt and Faiz Pointer is the same with another form. I think this black form is really awesome and elegant than the red ones.

One of the best job in S.H.Figuarts line is that you can pose more act with brilliant articulation. Of course you can pose it as the picture above did with any act such as the rider kick and dash accelerator. The silver line at his body especially on the arm and leg is support for running fast and an athletic style. When you want to move him with your favourite pose without stand base, it is really easy to do it partly because the foot  is made with higly common die-cast metal. There are plenty of images to describe many pose that S.H.F Kamen Rider Faiz Axel Form can do, but Toys and Hobbies only gave you a few shot of it because you can see those images from Hacchaka blog.

S.H.F Kamen Rider Faiz Axel Form comes with pair of open arms, one holding hand, and one hand with Faiz Shot attached. It also features with weapon and equipment such as Faiz edge as the sword, Faiz Phone, Phone Blaster, Phone Blaster with Faiz Pointer attached, and the Faiz Axel Watch. You can find this action figure anywhere since it is still a fresh release. Really reccomended for you to complete you Kamen Rider Faiz Series. You can see more images from Hacchaka blog.

You can see the body is kind like of something soothing texture with comparatively simple design and it is quite awesome. The arms and legs design are pretty flashy though his gloves and boots looks really nice with bright silver color. The leg is not made from die-cast, but was not a ground like a ball joint.

The best part that you can go is doing Rider Kick pose with effect part attached on his foot included in this S.H.Figuarts. You can put the effect part with another S.H.F line such as S.H.F Kamen Rider OOO TaToBa Combo and S.H.F Kamen Rider Faiz Blaster Form.

S.H.F Kamen Rider Faiz Blaster Form

If you still remember with my latest post about S.H.F Kamen Rider OOO TaToBa Combo, the magic of S.H. Figuarts line is never stop. It is a little different with Figma Kamen Rider Series which only released the  Dragon Knight Series such as Figma Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. Actually there are too many Kamen Rider series and types released by S.H.F toyline, but my eyes foccused only on this action figure. This is S.H.F Kamen Rider Faiz Blaster Form, and it was originally from Kamen Rider Faiz TV series. 

The S.H.F Kamen Rider Faiz Blaster Form is the final form from Kamen Rider Faiz. Beside of this form, there are also the S.H.F Kamen Rider Faiz Axel Form that will be released soon. This Blaster form represents Faiz's most powerful and heavy form, it seen in the form of large muscle on Faiz Blaster. The red color also symbolizes strength and courage and it was supported by the weapon brought by this toy.

Kamen Rider Faiz is also called 555 was aired from January 26, 2003 to January 18, 2004. Takumi Inui, the main wearer of Faiz Gear, used the Rider Gear called Faiz Gear to transform into Kamen Rider Faiz. The rider gear contains a belt known as a Driver used to transform with a method to input command code from Faiz phone number keypad. The input code for Faiz is 555 with sound effect, after that Inui must inserted the Faiz phone into the belt or driver. To become the Blaster Form, Faiz need to put the Faiz phone into the Faiz blaster, a gun weapon sometimes can be a sword and laser beams too.

S.H.F Kamen Rider Faiz Blaster Form stands approximately 14cm tall and comes with 3 extra hands. The best part of this S.H. Figuarts toyline is the accessories given to you such as Faiz phone, Faiz driver, Faiz shot, Faiz Pointer, and the Faiz Blaster. From the picture above you can see the Faiz Blaster Form pose using a Faiz Shot, it is the weapon attached on Faiz hand to give powerfull blow. And for the rider kick using the Faiz Pointer attached to his right foot that make the Faiz can do a powerfull kick to enemies.

The Faiz Blaster Form uses faiz blaster for a gun, and can be change to a sword, and give the Giant Laser Beam for the powerfull sword weapon. The overall from this action figure is awesome, eventhough it almost the same with the normal Faiz but it comes with a lot of accessories that Faiz did not have. Enjoy a lot of pictures from the real site because I just take a few pic from there. Just visit http://schizophonic9.com/re/shf_faizblaster.html for the complete review.

If you are Kamen Rider Fans, then you are familiar with the lates Kamen Rider that still airing now. Well I am also the Fans of this serial tokusatsu, This is Kamen Rider OOO. It is the twelfth series in the Heisei period run of the Kamen Rider Series, and it is the twenty-first overall all the Kamen Rider series. Kamen Rider OOO began airing on September 5, 2010, and I had watched it from the first episode until now, the 36th episodes.

The title OOO signifies the three medals that the main Kamen Rider uses to transform as well as being representative of the infinity symbol () with an additional circle. OOO has combos like the other Kamen Riders, and maybe this is the latest rider with a lot of combos. because the previous Kamen Rider W has just two types for using combos. This OOO has 3 medals to make the combos, and it is the first time for Toys and Hobbies to write a post about S.H. Figuarts line. This is S.H. Figuarts - Kamen Rider 000 TaToBa Combo. The normal form that OOO using for the first time, It has 3 medals red - yellow - green.

The 3 slot medals in OOO reffers to the combos. The first slot from the left is the head form, which mean the red medal made OOO has red head from Red Greeds - Ankh. The second slot is in the middle form the belt, and it is filled by yellow medal. The yellow medal by Kazari, the yellow greeds, made OOO body and his hands turn to yellow, and it also give OOO the claws weapon. And the third slot which filled by green medal - Uva made OOO's feet turn tu green state. The green greeds reffers to grasshopper that allow OOO to made a high jump and rider kick.

S.H. Figuarts - Kamen Rider 000 TaToBa Combo gives you the usual sword OOO used, Medajalibur. It can filled by the Cell medals to use the sword slash, actually the cell medals painted just on one side. The yellow form give you two set of claws too, both extended and deployed. The claws are probably the best part about the figure. Of course the necessary Medal Scanner comes with the set as well. Because the hands are in the yellow state, The interchangeable hand parts are in the yellow form too.

There are bonus if you got the first issue version which give you Unkh the red greeds. It is just a hand that fits onto a custom Tamashii stage. It does have wrist articulation like a swivel-joint and not ball-joint. Well this unkh needs an alone stand to make it float like in the films. The picture is taken from http://schizophonic9.com/shf_tatoba.html and if you interested with this action figures you can order it at Amazon : S.H.Figuarts Masked Rider OOO Tatoba Combo Action Figure + Limited UNKH .
